Abstract

The purpose of this study is to adapt the Inclusive Leadership Scale developed by Carmeli et al. (2010) into Turkish and to examine the mediating role of psychological safety on the relationship between inclusive leadership and job performance. To test the model and hypotheses created, from 136 health employees for the first sample, for the second sample data were gathered through a survey conducted from 350 academic staff working in a state university in Turkey. The data were analyzed using SPSS and AMOS programs. As a result of the analysis made for the first sample, it was seen that the Inclusive Leadership Scale was adapted to a single factor structure. As a result of the analysis for the second sample, it is found that inclusive leadership has a positive effect on job performance and psychological safety, and psychological safety has a partial mediator effect on the relationship between inclusive leadership and job performance.

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Carmeli ve diğ. (2010) tarafından geliştirilen Kapsayıcı Liderlik Ölçeğinin Türkçe’ ye uyarlanması ve kapsayıcı liderlik ile iş performansı arasındaki ilişkide psikolojik güvenliğin aracılık rolünün incelenmesidir. Oluşturulan model ve hipotezlerin testinde birinci örneklem için 136 sağlık çalışanından, ikinci örneklem için Türkiye’ de bir devlet üniversitesinde çalışan 350 akademik personelden anket tekniğiyle veriler toplanmıştır. Veriler SPSS ve AMOS programları kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Birinci örneklem için yapılan analizler sonucunda Kapsayıcı Liderlik Ölçeğinin tek faktörlü yapıya uyum sağladığı görülmüştür. İkinci örneklem için yapılan analizler neticesinde kapsayıcı liderliğin iş performansı ve psikolojik güvenlik üzerinde olumlu bir etkisinin olduğu ve kapsayıcı liderlik ile iş performansı arasındaki ilişkide psikolojik güvenliğin kısmi aracı etkisinin bulunduğu tespit edilmiştir.
