The purpose of this study is
to investigate the relationship between destructive leadership perception of
the subordinates and job satisfaction, neglect, organizational commitment,
turnover intent, job stress and the need for leadership as well as the effect
on them. Moreover, a second aim is to
determine whether the demographic characteristics of the participants differ
according to the destructive leadership perception, or not. To reveal the
prevalence of destructive leadership behavior, data gathered from 867 employees
is used. In order to explain the relationships among the variables, data
obtained from 364 employees working in the banking, health care and education
sector is used. As a result of the study, statistically significant
correlations among above listed job results were identified and the effects
were uncovered according to the destructive leadership perception of the
subordinates. In addition, it is concluded that there is a
differentiation of the demographic characteristics of the participants and the
level of prevalence of destructive leadership behavior is 42%.
