Abstract

Leadership is not a concept unique to today but has existed since the past. The historical process, which started with great men and trait theory, continued with behavioral leadership and situational leadership. Many new concepts related to leadership styles have emerged, today and in the recent past. Managerial leadership is just one of them. Managerial leadership can be achieved by the ability of people in managerial positions in their institutions to influence and lead the employees. A managerial leader emerges when the manager, who exhibits management and leadership behaviors, leads the employees at the same time. This study aims to examine the studies in the field of managerial leadership literature, gather them as a whole, and make theoretical suggestions. In this study, which was carried out in an exploratory and qualitative research design, 82 publications on managerial leadership were examined, the data collected with open coding was analyzed, the data divided into categories were narrowed by axial coding, and a theoretical proposition was made with selective coding. A comprehensive literature review in the field of managerial leadership and the use of Grounded Theory assumptions in this process add originality to the study.

Yönetsel Liderlik: Mevcut Durum ve Gelecek Beklentileri

Abstract

Liderlik günümüze özgü bir kavram olmayıp geçmişten bu yana varlığını sürdürmektedir. Büyük adamlar ve özellikler kuramı ile başlayan tarihsel süreç, davranışsal liderlik ve durumsal liderlik ile devam etmiştir. Günümüzde ve yakın geçmişte liderlik tarzları ile ilgili birçok yeni kavram ortaya çıkmıştır. Yönetimsel liderlik ise bunlardan sadece birisidir. Kurumlarında yönetici pozisyonunda bulunan kişilerin çalışanları etkileme ve onlara liderlik yapabilme yeteneğine sahip olmalarıyla yönetici liderlik yapılabilir. Yöneticilik ve liderlik davranışları sergileyen yöneticinin çalışanlara yöneticilik yaparken aynı zamanda liderlik yapması ile yönetsel lider ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bu çalışmada yönetsel liderlik alanında yapılan çalışmaları inceleyerek, bunları bir bütün halinde bir araya toplamak ve teorik önerilerde bulunmak amaçlanmıştır. Keşfedici ve nitel bir araştırma deseninde yürütülen bu çalışmada yönetsel liderlikle ilgili yayınlar incelenmiş, açık kodlama ile toplanan veriler analiz edilmiş, kategorilere ayrılan veriler eksenel kodlama ile daraltılmış ve seçici kodlama ile teorik bir önermede bulunulmuştur. Yönetsel liderlik alanında literatür derlemesi yapılması ve bu süreçte Gömülü Teori varsayımlarından yararlanılması çalışmaya orijinallik katmaktadır.
