THE MODERATING ROLE OF WORK STRESS IN THE EFFECT OF AUTOCRATIC LEADERSHIP ON CYBERLOAFING BEHAVIOR: A STUDY IN HOTEL BUSINESSES
Öz
This study aims to reveal the relationship between autocratic leadership, work stress and cyberloafing. For this purpose, a study was carried out on hotel businesses. A survey method was used to reveal the correlation between the variables. Autocratic leadership scale, work stress scale and cyberloafing scale were used in the research. The survey consists of two parts. The first part includes items to determine, autocratic leadership behavior, work stress and cyberloafing behavior. The last part of the survey includes questions to measure demographic characteristics. The survey was carried out online and face-to-face. The data obtained from 216 surveys were analyzed using the SmartPLS program. PLS-SEM method was used for the analysis of the research model. As a result of the analysis, it was found that autocratic leadership behavior and work stress did not have a statistically significant direct effect on cyberloafing. On the other hand, it was concluded that work stress played a moderator role in the effect of autocratic leadership on cyberloafing behavior.
