11815 / 1245 To Be Accountable While Showing Care : The Lived Experience of People in a Servant Leadership Organization Ragnarsson , Sigurður ; Kristjánsdóttir , Erla S. ; Gunnarsdóttir , Sigrún Many organizations attribute their success to the use of servant leadership . However , very few studies have been conducted with the emphasis of understanding what it is like for people to work in servant leadership organizations and how it is practiced . Thus , in-depth interviews were conducted and an observation was performed to explore the lived experience of people , both employees and managers , who work within the business sector where servant leadership has been practiced for decades . This is important , as much of current thought considers servant leadership to focus more on the “ serve ” dimension , and thereby to be soft . Helstu niðurstöður gefa vísbendingar um að stjórnskipulag íslenskra fyrirtækja hafi tekið nokkrum breytingum og að áhersla á innri ferla og skilvirkni sé meiri . Það virðist hafa verið millibilsástand hjá fyrirtækjum á Íslandi varðandi stjórnskipulag fyrst eftir hrun þar sem áhersla æðstu stjórnenda á formlegt skipulag minnkaði tímabundið . The main findings point to the direction that organizational structure has partly changed . It looks like a flux period in the structure in the first years after the crash , where the focus of the directors on formal structure dwindled temporarily . Skoðað var starfsumhverfi íslenskra og danskra stjórnenda í samhengi við norræn gildi . Verkefni og viðhorf íslenskra opinberra stjórnenda ríma við norræn gildi þar sem opin samskipti , gagnrýni í hugsun og umhyggja eru helstu einkennin . The main purpose of the research was to highlight the emphasis of Icelandic managers in daily tasks and get their opinions on their working environment and regulatory framework . At the same time , there seem to be opportunities for the managers to have more influence to enhance performance in their institutions . The main barriers were minimal influence on legislation and the political stakeholders . Bornar eru saman niðurstöður tveggja kannana höfunda á efninu , annars vegar frá árinu 2012 og hins vegar frá árinu 2016 . Gerðar voru tvær kannanir meðal stærstu fyrirtækja og stofnana landsins ( sem falla undir skilgreininguna einingar tengdar almannahagsmunum ) 2012 og 2016 . ; The aim of this paper is to report partial results of a study on the environment and practices of audit committees in Iceland . The Annual Accounts Act , no. 3 / 2006 , provides that the board constitute an audit committee . 2017-06-30 T 00:00:00 Z
