Abstract

The aim of the study is to examine the effect of multifaceted leadership on employee voice and the mediating role of organizational communication and knowledge sharing in this effect. The population of the study consists of non-managerial administrative staff at a state university in Turkey. The sample consists of 197 people who participated in the research with simple random sampling method. Questionnaire method was used to collect the data. The data obtained were subjected to statistical analysis through SPSS 25 and AMOS 24. For the validity and reliability of the scales, Cronbach’s Alpha value was analyzed. In addition, regression, correlation, CFA and frequency analyses were performed on the data. In the study, model analysis and hypothesis testing were performed with model 4 in Hayes Process Macro. The analysis revealed that multifaceted leadership positively influences employee voice, which in turn positively affects intra-organizational communication and knowledge sharing. Additionally, intra-organizational communication and knowledge sharing full mediate the relationship between multifaceted leadership and employee voice.

Abstract

Çalışmanın amacı, çok yönlü liderliğin çalışan sesliliği üzerindeki etkisini ve bu etkide örgüt içi iletişim ve bilgi paylaşımının aracılık rolünü incelemektir. Araştırmanın ana kütlesini Türkiye'de bir devlet üniversitesinde yönetici olmayan idari çalışanlar oluşturmaktadır. Örneklem ise basit tesadüfi örnekleme yöntemi ile araştırmaya katılan 197 kişiden oluşmaktadır. Verilerin toplanmasında anket tekniği kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen veriler SPSS 25 ve AMOS 24 aracılığıyla istatistiksel analize tabi tutulmuştur. Ölçeklerin geçerlilik ve güvenilirliği için Cronbach’s Alpha değeri analiz edilmiştir. Ayrıca veriler üzerinde regresyon, korelasyon, doğrulayıcı faktör (DFA) ve frekans analizleri yapılmıştır. Çalışmada model analizi ve hipotez testi Hayes Process Macro’da model 4 ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Analizler, çok yönlü liderliğin çalışanların sesini olumlu yönde etkilediğini, bunun da örgüt içi iletişimi ve bilgi paylaşımını olumlu yönde etkilediğini ortaya koymuştur. Ayrıca, örgüt içi iletişim ve bilgi paylaşımı, çok yönlü liderlik ve çalışan sesi arasındaki ilişkiye tam aracılık etmektedir.
