LMX and wellbeing in a military context – the subordinate perspective (English)
Abstract [sv]

Majoriteten av militärrelaterade studier fokuserar främst på ledarperspektivet relaterat till deras underordnade; mindre om den vardagliga militärrelaterade påverkan på de underordnade soldaternas välbefinnande. Denna kvalitativa tematiska analys syftade till att identifiera och lyfta fram den subjektiva upplevelsen ur soldatens perspektiv. Artiklar och litteratur från databaser har använts för att undersöka tidigare resultat och relevanta studier, som kan vara till hjälp för att förstå de faktorer som kan påverka soldaternas välbefinnande. Studien genomfördes digitalt genom semistrukturerade intervjuer där tio soldater deltog i samtal om ca 60 minuter gällande ledarskap, välbefinnande och stress inom det militära. Det enda kriteriet för deltagande i studien var att soldaterna för närvarande var anställda av den svenska militären. Resultaten av studien visade att militärledare har ett inflytande på soldaternas välbefinnande och förmåga att hantera stress. När soldaterna inte kunde få stöd från sina ledare, fann studien att de sociala resurserna var av stor vikt för att upprätthålla ett subjektivt bra välbefinnande.

Abstract [en]

The majority of military-related studies focuses primarily on the leaders perspective related to the their subordinates; less about the everyday military-related effects on the subordinated soldiers wellbeing. This qualitative thematic analysis aimed to identify and highlight the subjective experiences from the soldiers perspective. Articles and literature from databases were used to study earlier findings and relevant theories that could be of help to grasp a greater understanding of factors that could effect the soldiers well-being. The study was conducted digitally through semi-structured interviews with ten soldiers for 60 minutes each. The only criteria for participation in the study was that the soldiers were currently employed by the Swedish Military. The findings of the study showed that leaders in the military have an influence on the soldiers well-being and capability to cope with stress. When the soldiers were not able to get the support from their leaders, the study found that the social resources were a close second to maintain a good subjective wellbeing.
