the subordinates and job satisfaction, neglect, organizational commitment,
turnover intent, job stress and the need for leadership as well as the effect
on them. Moreover, a second aim is to
determine whether the demographic characteristics of the participants differ
according to the destructive leadership perception, or not. To reveal the
prevalence of destructive leadership behavior, data gathered from 867 employees
is used. In order to explain the relationships among the variables, data
obtained from 364 employees working in the banking, health care and education
sector is used. As a result of the study, statistically significant
correlations among above listed job results were identified and the effects
were uncovered according to the destructive leadership perception of the
subordinates. In addition, it is concluded that there is a
differentiation of the demographic characteristics of the participants and the
level of prevalence of destructive leadership behavior is 42%.

çalışmanın amacı, izleyicilerin
yıkıcı liderlik algısının; iş tatmini, savsaklama, örgütsel bağlılık, işten
ayrılma eğilimi, iş stresi ve liderliğe duyulan ihtiyaç ile olan ilişkisini ve bunlar

özelliklerinin, yıkıcı liderlik algısına göre farklılaşıp farklılaşmadığını
tespit etmektir. Son olarak da yıkıcı liderlik davranışının yaygınlığını ortaya
çıkartmaktır. Yıkıcı liderlik davranışının yaygınlığını tespit etmek amacıyla
867, değişkenler arasındaki ilişkileri açıklamak üzere ise bankacılık, sağlık
ve eğitim iş kollarında çalışan 364 çalışandan elde edilen veriler
kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda izleyicilerin yıkıcı liderlik algısına göre
