Abstract

Lider-üye etkileşimi teorisi, çalışanlar ile liderlerin olumlu ilişkilerinin örgütlere olumlu katkılar sunacağını savunmaktadır. Bu araştırma, lider-üye etkileşiminin, psikolojik güven aracılığıyla bireysel yaratıcılığa olan etkisinin tespit edilmesi amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırma İstanbul'daki çeşitli sektörlerdeki beyaz yakalı çalışanların katılımı ile yürütülmüştür. Çalışmanın örneklemi 390 beyaz yakalı çalışandan oluşmaktadır ve veriler online anket formları aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. Hipotezlerin test edilmesinde aracılık modelleri kullanılmıştır. Araştırma bulgularına göre, lider-üye etkileşimi çalışanların psikolojik güvenliğini ve yaratıcılığını olumlu yönde etkilemektedir. Ayrıca, psikolojik güvenlik çalışanların yaratıcılığını olumlu yönde etkilemektedir. Son olarak, lider-üye etkileşiminin bireysel yaratıcılığa etkisinde psikolojik güvenliğin aracılık rolü bulunmaktadır. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre, beyaz yakalı çalışanların liderleri ile olan olumlu ilişkilerinin psikolojik güveni artırarak bireysel yaratıcılığı motive ettiği tespit edilmiştir. Araştırma hipotezlerinin tamamı desteklenmiştir. Araştırma kapsamında pratik ve teorisi açısından öneriler sunulmuştur.

MEDIATION ROLE OF PSYCHOLOGICAL SAFETY IN THE EFFECT OF LEADER-MEMBERS EXCHANGE ON INDIVIDUAL CREATIVITY

Abstract

Leader-member exchange theory argues that positive relationships between employees and leaders will positively contribute to organizations. This research was conducted to determine the effect of leader-member exchange on individual creativity through psychological safety. The research was performed with white-collar employees in various sectors in Istanbul. The study sample consists of 390 white-collar employees, and the data were collected through online survey forms. Mediation models were used to test the hypotheses. According to research findings, leader-member exchange positively affects employees' psychological safety and creativity. Additionally, psychological safety positively affects employees' creativity. Finally, psychological safety has a mediating role in the effect of leader-member exchange on individual creativity. According to the research results, the positive relationships of white-collar employees with their leaders motivate individual creativity by increasing psychological confidence. All research hypotheses were supported. Suggestions have been provided in terms of both practical and theoretical aspects.
