Görev Odaklı Liderlik Tarzı, Psikolojik Sermaye, İş Tatmini ve Örgütsel Bağlılık Arasındaki İlişkinin İncelenmesi: Kobi’lere Yönelik Bir Uygulama

Abstract

Araştırma; görev odaklı liderlik tarzı, psikolojik sermaye, iş tatmini ve örgütsel bağlılık arasındaki ilişkiyi ölçmek amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmada Gaziantep ve Şanlıurfa illerinde faaliyet gösteren kolayda örnekleme yöntemiyle belirlenen küçük ve orta ölçekli 425 işletme çalışanına anket çalışması uygulanmıştır. Bu kapsamda görev odaklı liderlik, psikolojik sermaye, iş tatmini ve örgütsel bağlılık arasındaki ilişki “kısmi en küçük kareler” (PLS) ve “yapısal eşitlik modellemesi” (SEM) ile test edilmiştir. Gerçekleştirilen yapısal eşitlik modeli sonuçlarına göre görev odaklı liderlik tarzının psikolojik sermaye ve psikolojik sermayenin alt boyutları olan öz yeterlilik, iyimserlik, umut ve esneklik/dayanıklılık üzerinde pozitif etkisi olduğu sonuçlarına ulaşılmıştır. Araştırmada görev odaklı liderlik tarzının iş tatmini üzerinde pozitif etkiye sahip olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Görev odaklı liderlik tarzının örgütsel bağlılık üzerinde pozitif etkisinin olduğu; örgütsel bağlılığın devam, normatif ve duygusal bağlılık alt boyutları üzerinde pozitif etkisinin olduğu; psikolojik sermayenin iş tatmini üzerinde pozitif etkiye sahip olduğu sonucu elde edilmiştir. Bununla birlikte psikolojik sermayenin örgütsel bağlılık üzerinde pozitif etkisinin olduğu ve örgütsel bağlılığın devam, normatif ve duygusal bağlılık alt boyutları üzerinde pozitif etkisinin olduğu; iş tatmininin örgütsel bağlılık üzerinde pozitif etkisinin olduğu ve örgütsel bağlılığın devam, normatif ve duygusal bağlılık alt boyutları üzerinde pozitif etkiye sahip olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır.
