Bilge liderliğin otel çalışanlarının yaratıcılığı üzerindeki etkisinde değişime bağlılığın aracılık rolü

Abstract

Bilgiyi edinme ve yaratmanın giderek öneminin arttığı bir dönemde, günümüz liderlerinin rolü önemli ölçüde değişmektedir. Liderler birlikte çalıştığı ekip arkadaşlarına yönlendirirken, artık daha fazla bilgiye ulaşmalı, onları transfer etmeli ve kullanmalıdır. Bilge liderlik olarak karşılık bulan bu tür bir liderlik tarzı, çalışanlar üzerinde katma değer yaratan önemli etkiler yaratabilir. Örneğin çalışanlarının yenilikçi düşünme ve yaratıcılık odaklı olmalarını sağlayabilir. Ayrıca bu tür bir bilge liderlik ve çalışan yaratıcılığı ilişkisi değişimi benimseyen çalışanlarda çok daha olumlu ve dikkat çeken sonuçlara neden olabilir. Bu kapsamda çalışmanın temel amacı bilge liderliğin çalışanların yaratıcılığı üzerindeki etkisinde değişime bağlılığın aracılık rolünü araştırmaktır. Muğla iline bağlı Bodrum destinasyonunda bulunan üç adet beş yıldızlı otel işletmesinde görev yapan 372 çalışandan kolayda örnekleme yöntemiyle toplanan veriler SPSS ve AMOS programları ile analiz edilmiştir. Yapısal eşitlik modellemesi ile analiz edilen hipotez testleri sonucunda bilge liderliğin çalışan yaratıcılığı ve değişime bağlılık üzerinde doğrudan etkisi olduğu saptanmıştır. Değişime bağlılığın çalışan yaratıcılığı üzerinde pozitif yönlü bir etkisi söz konusudur. Ayrıca araştırmanın temel amacı kapsamında bilge liderliğin çalışan yaratıcılığı üzerindeki etkisinde değişime bağlılığın aracılık rolü olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgulardan hareketle sonuçlar yorumlanmış ve gelecek araştırmalar için öneriler çalışmanın son kısmında sunulmuştur.

The mediating role of commitment to change in the effect of wise leadership on hotel employees’ creativity

Abstract

The role of today's leaders is changing significantly as acquiring and transfering knowledge becomes increasingly important. Leaders now need to access, transfer and use more information while managing their people. This type of leadership, recognised as wise leadership, can have a significant value-added effect on employees. For example, it can enable employees to think innovatively and creatively. In addition, such a relationship between wise leadership and employee creativity can lead to much more positive and remarkable results in employees who embrace change. In this context, the main purpose of this study is to examine the mediating role of commitment to change in the effect of wise leadership on employee creativity. The data collected by convenience sampling method from 372 employees working in three five-star hotel establishments in Bodrum destination of Muğla province were analysed with SPSS and AMOS software. As a result of the hypothesis tests analysed by structural equation modelling, it was found that wise leadership has a direct effect on employee creativity and commitment to change. Commitment to change has a positive effect on employee creativity. In addition, within the scope of the main purpose of the research, it was determined that commitment to change has a mediating role in the effect of wise leadership on employee creativity. Based on the findings, the results were interpreted and some suggestions for future research, such as planning wise leadership-oriented trainings, ensuring employee participation and using reward systems to encourage employees' commitment to change, were presented at the end of the study.
