AB - This study investigates how the Swedish monarchy has sustained legitimacy in a highly democratic and egalitarian society by analyzing the 200-year historical trajectory of the Bernadotte dynasty. Using the institutional logics framework, the research highlights how Scandinavian cultural values-such as egalitarianism, low power distance, consensus orientation, and strong social trust-have structurally shaped the monarchy’s leadership into symbolic, adaptive, and service-oriented forms. A qualitative case study approach was employed to examine each monarch’s role within the socio-political context of his reign, focusing on how constitutional limitations, societal expectations, and cultural norms interacted with royal behavior. The findings show that the Swedish monarchy maintained public support not through political authority, but through moral credibility, value-based engagement, and symbolic representation that aligned with Scandinavian leadership norms. These insights provide meaningful implications for contemporary organizations operating under dispersed authority, where trust, ethical conduct, and cultural resonance increasingly define effective leadership.
