Bu çalışmada Kocaeli ilinde faaliyet gösteren, Demir Çelik gibi ağır şartlar altında görev yapan ekiplere liderlik eden yöneticilerin, kendine liderlik özelliklerinin yaşam doyumlarını ne şekilde etkilediği gözlemlenmiştir.

This study examined how self-leadership traits affect the life satisfaction of managers leading teams operating under challenging conditions, such as those at the Iron and Steel Plant in Kocaeli. Data were collected in 2025 from 107 individuals working in managerial positions at various corporate iron and steel plants operating in Kocaeli. During the data collection process, a three-part survey was administered: a nine-question Self-Leadership Scale (ASLQ) and a five-question Life Satisfaction Scale (SWLS). The research findings support the increased overall quality of life of individuals who exhibit self-leadership behaviors, and a positive and statistically significant correlation was observed between self-leadership and life satisfaction (r=0.433, p CR - Manz, C.
