SAĞLIK SEKTÖRÜNDE HİZMETKÂR LİDERLİK: SİSTEMATİK BİR DERLEME

Öz

Bu çalışmada, sağlık çalışanları üzerinde hizmetkar liderlik ile ilgili yürütülen çalışmaların teorik çerçevelerinin, ölçüm araçlarının ve anahtar sonuçlarının sistematik bir analiz yoluyla araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Bu çalışma sistematik bir derleme niteliğinde olup Sistematik Derleme ya da Meta Analiz Araştırma Raporunun Yazımında Bulunması Gereken Maddelerle İlgili Kontrol Listesi (PRISMA) protokolüne göre yürütülmüştür. Çalışmaların %78,7’si 2020 yılı sonrasında, en çok 11 (%24) çalışma ile Çin’de gerçekleştirildiği görülmektedir. Araştırma kapsamına alınan çalışmalarda incelenen en geniş örneklem grubu 29 (%53) çalışma ile hemşirelerdir. Araştırma kapsamına alınan çalışmalarda, en sık kullanılan veri toplama aracı Liden ve arkadaşları tarafından 2015 yılında geliştirilen Servant leadership: Validation of a short form of the SL-28 ölçeğidir. Sağlık sektöründe hizmetkar liderlik ile ilgili yapılan çalışmalarda en çok iş davranışları (n=27) değişkenlerinin incelendiği görülmektedir. Hizmetkar liderliğin sağlık sektöründe çeşitli bireysel ve kurumsal sonuçları doğrudan ve dolaylı olarak etkileyen bir değişken olduğu görülmektedir. Dolayısıyla, sağlık hizmetlerinde hizmetkar liderliğin etkili bir şekilde uygulanmasının hem sağlık çalışanları hem de hasta sonuçları açısından kuruluşlara ve sektöre ciddi katkılar sunabileceği gözlemlenmektedir.
