Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı işletmeler için büyük önemi olan yenilikçi davranışların geliştirilmesinde Lider-Üye Etkileşimi ve Kariyer Memnuniyetinin etkisi ve bu etkide etiğin düzenleyici rolünü belirlemektir. 593 çalışan üzerinde yapılan araştırma sonucunda; lider üye etkileşiminin seviyesinin ve kariyer memnuniyetinin çalışanların yenilikçi davranışlarını pozitif ve anlamlı olarak etkilediği, etik davranış üzerinde lider üye etkileşiminin pozitif, kariyer memnuniyetinin negatif ve anlamlı olarak etkili olduğu, çalışanların yenilikçi davranışları üzerinde etik davranışın etkisinin bulunmadığı belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca bağımlı değişken olan yenilikçi davranış üzerinde bağımsız değişkenlerin etkisinde etik davranışın düzenleyici rolünün bulunup bulunmadığını belirlemek amacıyla yapılan hiyerarşik regresyon analizi sonucunda kariyer memnuniyetin yenilikçi davranış üzerine etkisinde etik davranışın düzenleyici rolünün bulunduğu, lider üye etkileşiminin yenilikçi davranış üzerine etkisinde ise düzenleyici etkisinin olmadığı tespit edilmiştir.
