Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- A school principal has to play many different roles, such as a decision maker, problem solver, instructional leader and change agent. Research studies on profiles and preparation of school leaders have demonstrated many similarities and some differences between school leaders in different contexts. This study undertaken in Sweden, the third largest country in Europe, but with a small population with particular problems of her own, focuses on the profiles and pre-service and in-service training received, and how the school leaders perceive that their future professional development programs requirements to be designed and provided. The sample includes both principals and vice-principals in Swedish schools. Results suggest that the most important reasons for becoming principals were to transform society and the attraction of higher salaries. Only one third had undergone some sort of pre-service training whereas almost all have undergone in-service training. In their view ‘Human resources management’; ‘Introduction and management of reforms’; ‘An induction program’; and ‘Ethics, morals and values for educational leaders’ were the most important topics for pre-service programs.

From Sermons to Sex : Complaints about Church of Sweden Priests 2000 - 2004. A Preliminary Report.
- 2009
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The Church of Sweden (national, Lutheran) was disestablished in the year 2000 and former state obligations were transformed to the church itself. Major changes were made in the oversight of the clergy and all complaints were to be handled by the church. All cases of complaints about priests in 2000 – 2004 were investigated, altogether 159 cases concerning 135 priests. The complaints were about a wide range of issues: from sermons and presiding at common worship to adultery, rape, greed and addiction. The complainants were parish councils, private persons, colleagues, and bishops. In 45 cases the diocesan chapter opened a case leading to admonition, period of probation or prohibition. The decisions were as follows: admonition or period of probation in 12 cases; prohibition in 10 cases; male priests were significantly over-represented. In 7 cases no measures were taken and in the rest of the cases the chapter criticized the priest in a statement, remanding the case to (mostly the bishop); in one case the complaint was rejected. Clergy misconduct in the 21st century is compared with earlier research.

The Swedish Principal : Leadership Style, Decision-Making Style and Motivation Profile
- 2007
-
Ingår i: International Electronic Journal for Leadership in Learning. - 1206-9620. ; 11:8
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The Swedish schools have been under pressure for change for several decades. How leaders behave can be of vital importance in times of change. The principal is responsible for both the educational program and for the school budget. Two hundred Swedish principals (male and female) responded to questionnaires concerning their leadership style, decision-making style and motivation profile. The results show that 49% of the principals have a change centered leadership style, 38% were primarily intuitive when making decisions, and 44% were achievement motivated. No significant gender differences were found. The results indicate that many principals have fair prospects of leading their schools successfully in times of change.

Vicars as Managers Revisited : A Comparative Study
- 2008
-
Ingår i: Nordic Journal of Religion and Society. - : Universitetsforlaget. - 0809-7291 .- 1890-7008. ; 21:1, s. 91-111
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The possibilities for Church of Sweden vicars to manage their parishes in change were explored in 2000. The results indicated that vicars had a low capacity for initiating and implementing organizational change. The aim of this investigation is to assess whether vicars have a managerial style that differ from other groups of civil servants. Using tested instruments, 240 Swedish vicars (response rate 64%), 300 school principals (66%) and 64 social insurance officers (95%) were asked about their leadership style, decision-making style, motivation profile and perceived operational demands. The vicars stand out as a special group of managers with a strong relationship-orientation. Headmasters and social officers are similar to each other in behaviour. The results are explained by that pastoral work is founded on relations, the pastoral training of the vicars and the «weight of history». A contributory cause may be that many priests are perceived as having a «helping approach» to leadership.
