LİDERLERİN NARSİSTİK KİŞİLİK ÖZELLİKLERİNİN GİRİŞİMCİ KİŞİLİK ÖZELLİKLERİ ÜZERİNDEKİ ETKİSİNDE SOSYAL ZEKÂNIN ARACI ROLÜNE YÖNELİK BİR ARAŞTIRMA

Abstract

Literatürde liderlerin narsistik kişilik özellikleri, girişimci kişilik özellikleri ve sosyal zekaları arasındaki ilişkiye yönelik sınırlı sayıda araştırma bulunmaktadır. Bu kavramlar incelenmeye değer bulunarak, bu çalışmaya konu edilmiştir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, liderlerin narsistik kişilik özelliklerinin girişimci kişilik özellikleri üzerindeki etkisinde sosyal zekânın aracı rolünü tespit etmektir. Çalışmada İstanbul’daki 613 KOBİ’nin kurucu sahiplerinden, ortaklarından ve üst düzey yöneticilerinden toplanan verilere frekans dağılımı analizi, güvenilirlik analizi, açıklayıcı ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizleri, korelasyon analizi ve yapısal eşitlik modeli uygulanmıştır. Araştırma bulgularına göre, Narsistik Kişiliğin Sosyal Zekâ üzerinde anlamlı etkisi olduğu, Sosyal Zekânın Girişimci Kişilik üzerinde anlamlı etkisi olduğu, Narsistik Kişiliğin Girişimci Kişilik üzerinde anlamlı etkisi olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Sosyal Zeka modele dahil edildiğinde Narsistik Kişiliğin Girişimci Kişilik üzerinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı etkisi olmadığı için, Baron ve Kenny’e göre, Sosyal Zekânın tam aracı etkisi olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır.
