Abstract

Preučevanje vodenja oziroma voditeljstva je od nekdaj zelo aktualna tema, saj je od uspešnega vodstva odvisen uspeh celotne organizacije. Hkrati voditeljstvo predstavlja tudi zelo kompleksno področje, ki še ni v celoti raziskano, in prav to ga dela še bolj zanimivega. Pomembnosti vloge voditeljstva v delu managerjev se zaveda vedno več podjetij. Za podjetja je primarnega pomena zmožnost prilagajanja razmeram na trgu in potencialnim odjemalcem, ključ do tega pa sta zagotovo učinkovito vodstvo in dobra komunikacija na vseh ravneh. Eden izmed pomembnih faktorjev, ki vplivajo na učinkovitost vodenja, so gotovo lastnosti oziroma vrednote vodij, ki jih zaposleni prepoznavajo v obnašanju svojih nadrejenih. Zanimalo nas je, kakšen pogled imajo na to ameriški in evropski managerji oziroma katere vrednote povezujejo z učinkovitimi voditelji in člani tima ter ali prihaja do razlik med posameznimi evropskimi državami in Združenimi državami Amerike. V magistrskem delu so predstavljeni rezultati študije, ki raziskuje in primerja dojemanje vrednot ameriških in evropskih managerjev, ki jih povezujemo z učinkovitimi voditelji in člani timov v organizacijah. Predstavljeni rezultati raziskave se dotikajo treh dimenzij, in sicer: primerjave dojemanja vrednot, povezanih z dominantnostjo in podrejenostjo, primerjave dojemanja vrednot, ki temeljijo na prijaznosti, s tistimi, ki temeljijo na neprijaznem obnašanju, ter primerjave vrednot, ki temeljijo na sprejemanju oziroma nesprejemanju formalnih avtoritet. Rezultati raziskave kažejo, da prihaja do določenih razlik v vseh treh dimenzijah, predvsem med ZDA in Evropsko unijo. Ameriški managerji v nasprotju z evropskimi npr. cenijo dominantnost v obnašanju članov tima bolj kot v obnašanju voditeljev, kar kaže na manj hierarhične delovne modele v ZDA.

Secondary title:	ǂThe ǂrole of leadership in managers work
Secondary abstract:	Studying management or leadership has always been an interesting topic to tackle, for on successful management depends the overall success of a particular organisation. It is important to note that due to its complexity the studied topic has not been thoroughly researched so far which, on the other hand, make it even more interesting. More and more enterprises and organisations are aware of the importance of good leadership being a part of managers’ work. Namely, it is of vital importance for every enterprise to be able to adapt to changing market conditions and to potential customers, which is only possible through efficient leadership and excellent communication at all levels. One of important factors directly affecting successive leadership encompasses values and characteristics of leaders by which they can be recognised by their staff. We wanted to find out how the American and European managers see this particular aspect and which values they associate with effective leaders and team members, as well as if there are any differences between European countries and the United States of America. The present master work presents results taken from a study researching and comparing the perception of values by the American and European managers who can be considered effective leaders and team members. The results of the research encompass three dimensions: a comparison of notion of values with regards to domination and submissiveness; a comparison of values based on friendly and unfriendly behaviour; and a comparison of values based on acceptance or non-acceptance of established authority. The research shows that there are differences among all three dimensions, especially between the USA and the European Union. For example, the American managers, contrary to their European peers, are more inclined to respect dominance among team members and much less for leaders which clearly shows looser hierarchic working models in the USA.
