The Effect of Ethical and Altruistic Leadership Behaviors on Job Performance and Turnover Intention: The Case of a Public Hospital

Abstract

The study examines the effects of ethical and altruistic leadership behaviors on job performance and turnover intentions in a public hospital sample. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of ethical and altruistic leadership behaviors in healthcare institutions on the job performance and intention to leave of healthcare professionals. For this purpose, 346 healthcare workers participated in the study, which was carried out in Kayseri between January 1 and February 1, 2024, and the data were collected via a survey technique. The "ethical leadership", "altruistic leadership", "job performance" and "turnover intention" scales were used as the data collection tools. This research revealed that ethical and altruistic leadership behaviors have a positive effect on the job performance of healthcare workers and a negative effect on their turnover intentions. The findings obtained in the study will provide important contributions to the health services leadership literature and to the practice of health managers. It will also provide data for new studies to be conducted in this context.
