The banking sector was chosen as the sample. The data were collected face to face and via e-mail and questionnaire from the research sample. The research was conducted within the scope of a total of 413 bank employees, who represent the research sample. The data collected from the questionnaires were analyzed via SPSS 22.0 package program. Firstly, factor analysis was performed to verify the validity of the scales used in the research, and reliability analysis was performed in line with the Cronbachs' Alpha coefficient to verify their reliability. In the next step, correlation analysis was conducted for testing relationship between the research variables. Finally, linear and hierarchical regression analyzes were conducted to test the research hypotheses. According to the results of the analysis, toxic leadership has a positive effect on CWB. On the other hand careerism has a partial mediating effect on the relationship between toxic leadership and CWB. The findings of the study were discussed. in the context of the relevant literature.

TOKSİK LİDERLİK VE ÜRETKENLİK KARŞITI İŞ DAVRANIŞLARI İLİŞKİSİNDE KARİYERİZMİN ARACI ETKİSİ

Abstract

Araştırmada toksik liderlik tarzı ile üretkenlik karşıtı iş davranışları (ÜKİD) ilişkisinde kariyerizmin aracı (mediatör) etkisi incelenmiştir. Araştırma evreni olarak bankacılık sektörü seçilmiştir. Araştırma evreninden elde edilen katılımcılardan veriler yüz yüze ve e-posta yoluyla anket vasıtasıyla toplanmıştır. Araştırma, evreni temsil gücü olan toplam 413 banka çalışanı kapsamında yapılmıştır. Anketlerden elde edilen veriler SPSS 22.0 paket programı yardımıyla analiz edilmiştir. Öncelikle, araştırmada kullanılan ölçeklerin geçerliliklerini doğrulamak için faktör analizi, güvenirliklerini doğrulamak için ise Cronbachs’ Alpha katsayısı doğrultusunda güvenilirlik analizi yapılmıştır. Sonraki adımda ise araştırma değişkenlerin aralarındaki ilişkileri test etmek için korelasyon analizi yapılmış, son olarak ise araştırma hipotezlerini test etmek adına doğrusal ve hiyerarşik regresyon analizleri yapılmıştır. Analiz sonuçlarına göre toksik liderlik, ÜKİD’i istatistiksel ve anlamlı olarak pozitif yönde etkilemiştir. Kariyerizm ise toksik liderlik ile ÜKİD arasındaki ilişkide kısmi aracılık (mediatör) etkisine sahiptir. Elde edilen bulgular ilgili literatür bağlamında tartışılmıştır.
