Abstract

Many studies have been conducted in the literature on factors affecting job performance. However, no study has been found that investigated the effects of family-work conflict and work-family conflict on job performance using structural equation modeling in the context of transformational leadership style practices in organizations. Thus, this study aims to examine the relationship between transformational leadership in organizations and family-work conflict, work-family conflict, and job performance. To achieve this purpose, data were collected from 232 individuals working at various levels in public institutions and organizations in Ankara. The study used the Transformational Leadership Scale, Performance Scale, Family-Work Conflict Scale, and Work-Family Conflict Scale to collect data. The SPSS 27.0 program was used to analyze demographic variables related to the data obtained, while the SmartPLS 4.0 package program was used to test the hypotheses of the study through Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (KEKK-YEM) analysis. Based on the analyses conducted, it was determined that transformational leadership practices have a positive effect on job performance but negatively affect family-work conflict. No relationship was found between work-family conflict and transformational leadership. Furthermore, family-work conflict was found to have a negative impact on job performance, while work-family conflict had no effect on job performance.

ÖRGÜTLERDE DÖNÜŞÜMCÜ LİDERLİK UYGULAMALARININ; AİLE –İŞ ÇATIŞMASI, İŞ -AİLE ÇATIŞMASI VE İŞ PERFORMANSI ÜZERİNDEKİ ETKİLERİ

Abstract

Literatürde iş performansını etkileyen pek çok faktör üzerine çalışmalar yapılmıştır. Ancak örgütlerdeki dönüşümcü liderlik tarzı uygulamalarının; aile-iş çatışması ve iş-aile çatışmasının iş performansı üzerindeki etkileri yapısal eşitlik modellemesi ile araştıran çalışmaya rastlanmamıştır. Bu çerçevede çalışma, örgütlerde dönüşümcü liderlik ile aile-iş çatışması, iş-aile çatışması ve iş performansıarasındaki ilişkiyi incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu amaçla, Ankara ilinde bulunan kamu kurum ve kuruluşlarında farklı kademelerde çalışan 232 kişiden veri toplanmıştır. Veri toplamak için dönüşümcü liderlik ölçeği, performans ölçeği, aile-iş çatışması ölçeği ve iş-aile çatışması ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen verilerle ilgili demografik değişkenlerin (frekans analizleri) analizinde SPSS 27.0 programı ve çalışmanın hipotezlerini test etmek için Kısmi En Küçük Kareler Yapısal Eşitlik Modellemesi (KEKK-YEM) analizinde SmartPLS 4.0 paket programı kullanılmıştır. Yapılan analizler neticesinde; dönüşümcü liderlik uygulamalarının iş performansını pozitif yönde etkilediği ve aile-iş çatışmasını negatif yönde etkilediği ortaya çıkmıştır. İş-aile çatışması ile ilişki bulunamamıştır. Ayrıca aile-iş çatışmasının iş performansını negatif yönde etkilediği bulunmuştur. İş-aile çatışmasının iş performansı üzerinde etkisi bulunamamıştır.
