Abstract

Vodstvo vođeno svrhom, iako relativno nov pojam na području vodstva, vrlo brzo je postalo često korištena praksa u poslovnom svijetu. Vodstvo koje se temelji na pronalasku svrhe organizacije i širenju te svrhe na sve interesne skupine u praksi se pokazalo veoma uspješnim. Smislenost posla kod zaposlenika osjećaj je koji se javlja kada zaposlenici vole posao koji rade i osjećaju kao da pritom sudjeluju u ostvarenju zajedničkih ciljeva. Zaposlenici koji osjećaju smislenost posla koji rade angažiraniji su, motiviraniji, lojalniji i produktivniji. Organizacije koje znaju „zašto“ rade to što rade zajedno sa zaposlenicima koji razumiju organizacijsko „zašto“ doprinose ostvarenju organizacijskih ciljeva koji nadilaze njih same. Takve organizacije imaju lojalne klijente i korisnike koji čak i u vremenima nesigurnosti ne odustaju od njih.

Cilj ovog diplomskog rada bio je ispitati utječe li ovakav način vođenja u organizacijama na povećanje osjećaja smislenosti posla kod njezinih zaposlenika. U svrhu provedbe ovog istraživanja korištena je metoda ankete sastavljena od dvije skupine pitanja uz primjenu ljestvice Likertovog tipa i jedne skupine pitanja s ponuđenim višestrukim odgovorima. Istraživanje se provelo na uzorku od pedeset ispitanika s radnim iskustvom.

Glavni zaključak istraživanja je da su ispitanici koji rade u organizacijama koje prakticiraju stil vodstva vođen svrhom puno zadovoljniji svojim poslovima i smatraju ih smislenima, dok s druge strane oni koji su vođeni nekim drugim stilovima pokazuju veće nezadovoljstvo poslom koji rade.

Abstract (english)

Purpose-driven leadership, although a relatively new concept in the field of leadership, has quickly become a frequently used practice in the business world. Leadership that is based on passing the purpose of the organization and spreading that purpose to all interest groups has proven to be very successful in practice. Meaningfulness of work for employees is a feeling that occurs when employees love the work they do and feel as if they are participating in the achievement of common goals. Employees who feel the meaning of their work are more engaged, motivated, loyal and productive. Organizations that know "why" they do what they do together with employees who understand the organizational "why" contribute to the achievement of organizational goals that go beyond themselves. Such organizations have loyal clients and users who do not give up on them even in times of uncertainty.

The aim of this thesis was to examine whether this type of leadership in organizations affects the increase in the sense of meaningfulness of work among its employees. For the purpose of conducting this research, a survey method was used consisting of two groups of questions with the application of a Likert-type scale and one group of questions with multiple answers. The research was conducted on a sample of fifty respondents with work experience.

The main conclusion of the research is that respondents who work in organizations that practice a purpose-driven leadership are much more satisfied with their jobs and consider them meaningful, while on the other hand, those who are guided by other styles show greater dissatisfaction with the work they do.
