EXAMINATION OF THE EFFECTS OF DESPOTIC LEADERSHIP AND STRATEGIC HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT ON THE EMPLOYEES IN THE BUSINESS WORLD

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to contribute to the literature by examining the relationships between employees' intentions to leave work, their level of job satisfaction and the despotic leadership and strategic human resource management. The leadership style of the managers and the human resources policies of the organization shape the future of the organisations. The sample of our study consist of 322 white-collar employees working in the private and public sector in Central Anatolia. Our data was subjected to factor and reliability analyses by IBM SPSS 23 program, our hypotheses were tested by regression analysis and the results were analysed and evaluated. The efforts to keep employee turnovers at minimum levels are directly proportional with the employee satisfaction and their willingness to stay in the organisations. An increase in the employment turnover rate can cause a decrease in the performance of the organisations and makes employee trainings ineffective.

DESPOTİK LİDERLİĞİN VE STRATJİK İNSAN KAYNAKLARI YÖNETİMİNİN İŞ HAYATINDA ÇALIŞANLAR ÜZERİNDEKİ ETKİLERİNİN İNCELENMESİ

Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı, çalışanların işten ayrılma niyetleriyle birlikte iş memnuniyetini etkileyen liderlik rolü (despotik liderlik) ve stratejik insan kaynakları yönetimiyle aralarındaki ilişkilerin incelenerek literatüre katkıda bulunmaktır. Yöneticilerin sahip oldukları liderlik tarzı ve kurumda belirlenen insan kaynakları politikaları kurumun geleceğini şekillendirmektedir. Bu alanlarda yapılacak çalışmalar sayesinde kurumlarda üst düzey yöneticilerin alacakları kararlarda ve liderlik rollerinin ortaya konmasına katkıda bulunulması önem arz etmektedir. Çalışmamızın örneklem kitlesini İç Anadolu bölgesin bulunan özel ve kamu sektöründeki 322 beyaz yakalı oluşturmaktadır. Elde ettiğimiz buldular IBM SPSS 23 programında faktör ve güvenirlilik analizleri yapıldıktan sonra regresyon analizleriyle hipotezlerimiz test edilmiş ve elde edilen sonuçların analizleri yapılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Kurumlarda yaşanan çalışan devir oranının minumum seviyede tutulma çabası, çalışanların memnuniyetine ve kurumda kalma istekleriyle doğru orantılıdır. Kurumlarda yaşanan iş devir oranındaki artış aynı zamanda kurumun performansında düşüşe sebep olabilmekte, çalışanlara verilen eğitimlerin sonuçsuz kalmasına sebep olabilmektedir.
