Abstract

Etik liderlik beklenen örgütsel sonuçları etkilemede önemli rol oynaması sebebiyle örgütün amaçlarına ulaşması için kullanılan bir kavramdır. Alan yazın incelendiğinde etik liderliğin bir organizasyon içindeki çalışanların davranışları, iş performansı, örgütsel bağlılık ve iş tatmini gibi önemli faktörler üzerinde olumlu bir etkiye sahip olduğunu gösteren çalışmalar mevcuttur. Bir liderin etik davranışları ve liderlik tarzı, çalışanların iş performansını artırır, örgütsel bağlılıklarını güçlendirir ve iş tatminlerini artırır. Bu da genel olarak işyerinde performans artışı oluşmasına için zemin oluşturur. Web of Science veri tabanına göre 2003 yılında yapılan ilk çalışmadan itibaren günümüze kadar performans ve etik liderliği aynı anda konu edinen 1.137 esere rastlanmaktadır. Literatür taraması şeklinde planlanan çalışmanın belirli bir sistematik içinde oluşturulması maksadıyla bibliyometrik analiz kullanılmıştır. Bu kapsamda en büyük akademik veri tabanı olan Web of Science’ da “Ethical Leadership” and “performance” kriterleri girilmiş, 2021-2022-2023 yıllarında yayınlanan makaleler belirlenerek toplam SSCI düzeyde 318 makale bibliyometrik analize tabi tutulmuştur. Yapılan çalışmada dönüştürücü liderlik 60 defa tekrarlanarak en çok tekrarlanan 4 kelime olduğu belirlenmiştir. Literatür incelendiğinde, etik liderlik, dönüşümcü ve otantik liderlik tarzı ile kavramsal benzerlik göstermesi açısından eleştirel bir yön kazanmıştır. Web of Science veri tabanından eserlere ilişkin bilgiler bibtex formatında alınarak, R 4.2.1 versiyona bağlı olarak bibliometrix programda incelenmiştir. 2021 ile 2023 yılları arasında yayınlanmış 318 makale 122 farklı dergide yayınlanmıştır. Toplam 929 yazar tarafından kaleme alınan eserlerin 18 âdeti tek yazarlı olarak 15 yazar tarafından yazılmıştır. Belirlenen 318 eserde toplam 19.973 atıf yapılmış makale başına ortalama 62,81 atıf bulunduğu belirlenmiştir. Etik liderlik ile performans arasında literatür incelendiğinde düşük ve orta düzeyde bir ilişkinin bulunduğu görülmektedir.

A Bibliometric Investigation of the Relationship between Ethical Leadership and Performance

Abstract

Ethical leadership is a concept used for the organization to achieve its goals because it plays an important role in affecting the expected organizational results. When the literature is examined, there are studies showing that ethical leadership has a positive effect on important factors such as the behavior of employees within an organization, job performance, organizational commitment and job satisfaction. A leader's ethical behavior and leadership style increase the job performance of employees, strengthen their organizational commitment and increase their job satisfaction. According to the Web of Science database, since the first study conducted in 2003, there are 1,137 works that have addressed performance and ethical leadership at the same time. Bibliometric analysis was used to create the study planned as a literature review within a certain systematic framework. In this context, the "Ethical Leadership" and "performance" criteria were entered Web of Science, and articles published in 2021-2022-2023 were determined and a total of 318 articles at the SSCI level were subjected to bibliometric analysis. In the study, it was determined that transformational leadership was the most repeated 4 words by being repeated 60 times. When the literature was examined, ethical leadership gained a critical aspect in terms of its conceptual similarity with transformational and authentic leadership styles. Information on the works from the Web of Science database was taken in bibtex format and examined in the bibliometrix program based on R 4.2.1 version. 318 articles published between 2021 and 2023 were published in 122 different journals. 18 of the works written by a total of 929 authors were written by 15 authors as single authors. It was determined that a total of 19,973 citations were made in the 318 works determined, and an average of 62.81 citations per article were found. When the literature was examined between ethical leadership and performance, it was seen that there was a low and medium level relationship.
