Abstract

Kişilere etkin bir şekilde liderlik etmek, muazzam bir zorluk, büyük bir fırsat ve ciddi bir sorumluluktur. Liderin davranışının ya da sonuçların beklenen bir standarda göre değerlendirilmesi ile ilgili olan liderlik etkinliği, bilimsel literatürde büyük ilgi uyandıran bir konudur. Daha önce liderlik üzerine yapılan çalışmalar, liderlerin nasıl algılandığı konusuna odaklanmış ve liderlerin etkinliğine katkıda bulunan kişisel nitelikleri ve özellikleri belirlemeye çalışmış olmakla birlikte lider etkinliği ve sonuçları arasındaki bağlantı üzerine yapılan araştırmalar sınırlı kalmaktadır. Bir örgüt bağlamında gerçekleşen ve ampirik kanıtlara dayanarak kategoriler, kavramlar ve teoriler geliştirmek amacıyla yönetimsel çalışma ve davranışın gözden geçirilmesinden oluşmakta olan yönetimsel davranış yaklaşımına dayanmakta olan bu çalışmanın amacı, algılanan liderlik etkinliğinin, çalışanların psikolojik güvenlik algıları ve örgüt ile ilişkileri üzerindeki etkisinin araştırılmasıdır. Araştırma sonuçları algılanan lider etkinliğinin hem çalışanların örgüt ile ilişkileri hem de çalışanların psikolojik güvenlik algıları üzerinde pozitif etkisi olduğunu, aynı zamanda psikolojik güvenliğin algılanan lider etkinliği ve çalışanların örgüt ile ilişkileri arasındaki ilişkide aracı etkisi olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır.

THE EFFECT OF PERCEIVED LEADER EFFECTIVENESS ON PSYCHOLOGICAL SAFETY AND RELATIONSHIP WITH THE ORGANIZATION

Abstract

Leading people effectively is a tremendous challenge, a great opportunity, and a serious responsibility. Previous research on leadership concerns how leaders are perceived and the personal qualities and characteristics that contribute to leader effectiveness but there is limited insight into leadership effectiveness and its outcomes. The aim of this study which is based on the managerial behavior approach that aims to develop categories, concepts and theories on the basis of empirical evidence in an organizational context (Noordegraaf ve Stewart, 2000: 429) is to investigate the effect of perceived leader effectiveness on the employees’ psychological safety and their relationship with the organization. The findings of the study reveal that perceived leader effectiveness has a positive effect on employees’ relationship with the organization and employees’ psychological safety perceptions and furthermore psychological safety has a mediating role on the relationship between perceived leader effectiveness and employees’ relationship with the organization.
