SOSYAL GİRİŞİMCİLERİN ETİK VE HİZMETKÂR LİDERLİK DAVRANIŞLARININ CİNSİYET BAĞLAMINDA KARŞILAŞTIRMALI ANALİZİ

Abstract

Sosyal girişimciler, toplumsal sorunlara sistemli ve sürdürülebilir çözümler üreten, finansal kârlılıktan çok sosyal amaçları gerçekleştirmeye odaklanmış lider kişiler olarak tanımlanmaktadır. İzleyicilerinin gelişimini önemsemeleri ve süreçlerde izleyicilerinin de görüşlerini almaları ile hizmetkâr lider, ahlaki motivasyonları önemsemeleri, işbirlikçi ve adil olmaları ile etik lider olarak tanımlamaktadır. Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, kadın ve erkek sosyal girişimcilerin, etik ve hizmetkâr liderlik davranışlarının tespit edilmesi ve cinsiyet temelinde karşılaştırmalı olarak analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma örneklemi, Türkiye’de sosyal girişimcilik kapsamında; kadın, engelliler, çevre, eğitim, çocuk, sağlık ve yardım gibi alanlarda faaliyet gösteren 34 sosyal girişimci ile birlikte çalışan ve gönüllü olan 169 izleyici oluşturmaktadır. Araştırma değişkenlerine ilişkin veriler, anket yöntemi ile toplanmış, anketlerin geçerlilik ve güvenilirlik analizleri yapılmış ve elde edilen veriler istatistik paket programı ile analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda, sosyal girişimcilerin etik ve hizmetkar liderlik davranışı gösterdikleri tespit edilmiştir. Hem yerli hem yabancı literatürde sosyal girişimlerin faaliyet ve etki alanlarının büyümesine karşılık sosyal girişimlerde liderlik davranışı üzerine oldukça az sayıda çalışma bulunmaktadır. Bu araştırma, sosyal girişimcilik ile etik ve hizmetkar liderlik arasında ilişkiyi ampirik olarak inceleyen sayılı araştırmadan biri olarak yazına katkı sağlamaktadır
