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
