Abstract [en]

The purpose of this study is to examine how the company work to prevent alienationamong the employees. One very important part of this is how the leadership works in theexamined company and we have studied the leadership as a tool to prevent alienation.When we went through previous research on the subject, we found that the companypractice transformative leadership and we included that theory to our work. Furthermore,we investigate to what extent the various leaders practice transformative leadership howthis is connected to alienation. Finally, whether the company's high-performance teamscan be seen as successful and whether the success is linked to transformative leadership.The empirical data was collected by interviewing twelve people in the company, sevenmanagers and five co-workers. The analysis was made in two steps. First we examinedhow the company’s leadership model work and if it’s connected to the high-performanceteams. (Forslund, 2022). Second, how this effects the alienation at the company. Theresult was that transformative leadership indeed is included in the company’s leadershipmodel. Furthermore, we could conclude that the leaders in the company did practisetransformative leadership, even though the level varied a little between the individualleaders. The transformative leadership is effective in preventing alienation and weconclude that it is the most important tool in the process of preventing that. Finally, wesee that the company’s model, and practise of leadership is successful.
