Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı, alan yazında yeni kavramlar olan bilge liderlik ile yengeç sendromunun psikolojik sahiplenme üzerindeki etkisini kaynakları koruma teorisine dayandırarak incelemektir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda çalışmada nicel bir yöntem izlenmiştir. Çalışma, psikolojik sahiplenmenin birey ve lider düzeyindeki öncüllerini ortaya koymak açısından önem taşımaktadır. Araştırmanın örneklemi, bankacılık sektöründe çalışan katılımcılardır. Veri toplama tekniği olarak anket yöntemi kullanılmış ve ortak metot varyans hatasını minimize etmek için anket formunda bağımlı değişkenlerin maddeleri, bağımsız değişkenlerden önce yer almıştır. Verilerin analizi, ön veri analizi ve hipotez testi olmak üzere iki aşamada gerçekleştirilmiştir. Ön veri analizinde, tanımlayıcı istatistiklere yer verilmiş, hipotez testinde ise Yapısal Eşitlik Modeli (SEM)’nin iki adımlı süreci kullanılarak araştırma hipotezleri test edilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgularda, bilge liderliğin psikolojik sahiplenmeyi pozitif, yengeç sendromunun ise negatif yordadığı gözlenmiştir. Kaynakları koruma teorisi kapsamında sonuçlar tartışılmış ve araştırmanın önerileri ile kısıtları belirtilmiştir.

An Empirical Research on the Antecedents of Psychological Ownership: Wise Leadership and the Crab Syndrome

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to examine the effects of wise leadership and the crab syndrome, which are new concepts in the literature, on psychological ownership within the scope of the conservation of resources theory. For this purpose, a quantitative method was followed in the study. The study is significant since it was conducted to reveal the antecedents of psychological ownership at the level of individuals and leaders. The sample of the research is the participants working in the banking sector. The questionnaire method was used as the data collection technique, and the items of the dependent variables took place before the independent variables in the questionnaire form to minimize the common method variance error. The analysis of the data was carried out in two stages such as preliminary data analysis and hypothesis testing. While descriptive statistics were included in the preliminary data analysis, research hypotheses were tested using the two-step process of the Structural Equation Model (SEM) in hypothesis testing. In the obtained findings, it was observed that wise leadership predicted psychological ownership positively, and crab syndrome negatively. Within the scope of the conservation of resources theory, the results were discussed, and the recommendations and limitations of the research were stated.
