Abstract

Liderlik konusu her zaman merak edilen, araştıran ve araştırmaya devam edilen bir konudur. Çünkü liderlerin davranışları ve kararları toplum ve işletmeleri derinden etkilemektedir. Haliyle liderlik çalışmaları liderlik özelliklerinin örgütleri nasıl başarıya ulaşabileceğinin yanı sıra nasıl başarısızlığa götürebileceğine dair kanıtlar sunmaktadır. Hubris sendromu ve hubristik davranışlara ilişkin kapsamlı bir akademik yazın olmasına rağmen Hubristik Liderliği değerlendirecek nitelikte elverişli bir ölçme aracı bulunmamaktadır. Bu problemden hareketle çalışmanın amacı çok boyutlu Hubristik Liderlik Ölçeği geliştirmek ve test etmektir. Sağlık çalışanları ve akademisyenler ile gerçekleştirilen yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmelerin analizinden elde edilen ve uzman görüşü ile son hali verilen 35 maddelik Hubristik Liderlik Ölçeği 491 öğretim elemanı ve öğretim üyesine uygulanmıştır. Keşfedici ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizi sonucunda, güvenilir, yakınsak ve ayırt edici geçerliliğe sahip, 35 madde ve altı boyuttan oluşan Hubristik Liderlik ölçeği elde edilmiştir. Elde edilen boyutlar büyüklük sanrısı, istismar etme, küçümseme ve aşağılama, güç baskısı, sosyal beğenirlik ve imaj olarak isimlendirilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular ışığında Hubristik Liderlik Ölçeğinin geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçüm aracı olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Hubristic Leadership Scale: A Scale Development Study

Abstract

Leadership is a subject that is constantly pondered, researched, and continues to be researched. This is because the behaviors and decisions of leaders profoundly impact both society and organizations. Accordingly, leadership studies provide evidence not only on how leadership traits contribute to organizational success but also on how they may lead to failure. Although there is a substantial academic literature on Hubris syndrome and hubristic behaviors, there is no suitable measurement tool specifically designed to assess Hubristic leadership. Based on this gap, the aim of the study is to develop and test a multidimensional Hubristic Leadership Scale. A 35-item Hubristic Leadership Scale, developed through the analysis of semi-structured interviews with healthcare professionals and academics and finalized with expert opinion, is administered to 491 lecturers. Following exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, a Hubristic Leadership scale with 35 items and six dimensions with reliable, convergent, and discriminant validity is developed. Grandiose delusion, abuse, contempt and humiliation, power pressure, social desirability, and image are the dimensions obtained. Based on the findings, the Hubristic Leadership Scale is determined to be a valid and reliable measurement tool.
