Abstract [sv]

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur kvinnors ledarskap har påverkats av feminina och maskulina personlighetsdrag i en chefsposition. Vidare är syftet att undersöka ifall sådana personlighetsdrag påverkat kvinnors ledarskap i enlighet med tidigare studier, definitioner samt teorier från Alvesson & Spicer (2012) och Yukl (2010). En kvalitativ metod med hermeneutisk inriktning samt abduktiva inslag har tillämpats för att skapa en förståelse inom valt område, där sex kvinnliga respondenter har deltagit i en semistrukturerad intervju som har bidragit till resultat samt analysen av vår studie. Studiens resultat visar att kvinnor i chefspositioner tenderar att visa både maskulina och feminina personlighetsdrag och att dessa drag har format och påverkat deras ledarskap i en chefsposition. 

Abstract [en]

The purpose of this study is to investigate how feminine and masculine personality traits affect women's leadership in a managerial position. The aim is to investigate if such personality traits have affected women's leadership by following previous studies, definitions and theories from Alvesson & Spicer (2012) and Yukl (2010). A qualitative method with a hermeneutic orientation and abductive elements has been applied to create an understanding of the chosen field, where six female respondents have also participated in a semi-structured interview that has contributed to our study's results and analysis. The results of the study show that women in managerial positions tend to display masculine and feminine personality traits and the participants have also shaped and been influenced by these traits in their leadership.
