Abstract

Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, toksik liderlik biçiminin örgütsel sağlığı etkileyip etkilemediğini
ortaya koymaktır. Örgütsel sağlık, örgütün çevresel değişimlere uyum sağlayabilmesi amacıyla
çalışanların fiziksel ve ruhsal olarak kendini iyi hissetmesi, bu durumun da örgütü ve örgütsel
iklimi olumlu etkilemesidir. Bir örgütün lideri olarak yöneticinin kötü liderlik göstermesi,
çalışanın ve dolayısıyla örgütün sağlığını bozabilmektedir. Çalışmada, örgüt sağlığını olumsuz
şekilde etkileyeceği iddia edilen toksik liderlik biçimi temel alınmıştır. Toksik lider, örgüt içinde
çalışanlara kötü davranan, onları devamlı aşağılayan, narsist eğilimleri olan bir lider tipidir.
Kendini çalışanlarına kabul ettirmek için, yüksek ölçüde kontrol yetkisini kullanması çalışanların
moral, motivasyon ve verimliliğini düşürmekte, örgüt için yıkıcı olmakta, örgütsel iklimi
olumsuz yönde etkilemektedir. Çalışmada, toksik liderlik özelliklerinin örgütsel sağlığı nasıl
etkilediği karşılaştırmalı olarak incelenmiş toksik liderlik ile örgütsel sağlık arasındaki ilişkiyi
açıklayan önermeler yapılmıştır. Yapılan çıkarımlarda toksik liderin yıldırma davranışları,
istismarcı, narsist ve otoriter kişiliği çalışanların dolayısıyla örgütün sağlığını olumsuz olarak
etkilediği yönündedir.
