The role of leadership in a national team’s success

2022

Every elite football team wants to maximize their success. Especially in international football, smaller footballing countries need to perform well as underdogs when pursuing qualification to the group stage phase of international tournaments. With limited player options, development of leadership within the team might be one solution to achieve better results. The purpose of this study was to find out team members’ perceptions on what kind of leadership behaviours and leadership structures occur in a men’s football national team participating in the UEFA Euro 2020 and how those are connected to the team’s success. Due to the precise nature of the target sample, we applied a qualitative app…

Ghostbusters! On the Narrative Creation of (Absent) Leader Characters

2022

We seek to “bust out” ghost leaders, narrated leader(ship) characters manifesting leadership influence, to discuss the inherent challenges related to leaderless management. By taking the non-corporeal aspect of leadership into account, we challenge the notion of leaderless management—which we argue has turned out to be more of an inspiring and empowering idea rather than a standing practice. We illustrate, with a Finnish high-tech organization, how organizational members narrate leader characters into existence in the non-corporeal realm during an organizational change to fill the void of a corporeal leader. While organizations may declare themselves to be leaderless, they, in fact, are not…

Johtajuusroolit intendentin työkentässä

2013

Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli muodostaa käsitys orkesteriorganisaation johtajan, intendentin, työkentästä ja intendentistä tämän organisaation johtajana. Sinfoniaorkesteria on tieteellisessä tutkimuksessa käsitelty monesta näkökulmasta, mutta suoranaisesti intendentin työtä koskevaa tutkimusta ei ole olemassa. Tutkimuksellista aukkoa paikataan tässä tapaustutkimuksessa. Intendentin työkenttää lähestytään toiminnan kannalta keskeisten yhteistyötahojen kautta ja johtajuutta rooliteoreettisesta näkökulmasta. Tutkimuksen empiirinen aineisto on kerätty teemahaastatteluin neljän suomalaisen orkesterin intendenttejä haastattelemalla. Aineisto on analysoitu sisällönanalyysin periaatteita noudattaen…

Participants with a high number of leadership-related worries were not planning to pursue leadership positions. Instead, their goals included increasing personal well-being or ending their career. Vice versa, participants with least leadership-related worries strived for career advancement. These findings indicate that worries about…
