Sivil Havacılık Sektöründe Çevik ve Dijital Liderlik Tarzlarının Örgütsel Çeviklik ve Çalışan Performansları İle İlişkisi

Öz

Çalışmanın amacı, günümüz sektörleri içinde teknoloji ve performans olgularını yapısı gereği mecburen kullanması gereken sivil havacılık sektöründe, liderlik türleri içinde diğerlerine oranla daha güncel olan dijital ve çevik liderlik tarzlarının örgütsel çeviklik ve çalışan performansı ile etkileşiminin incelenmesidir. Türkiye’de sivil havacılık sektöründe çalışan yöneticilerin liderlik tarzlarının astları tarafından nasıl algılandığının anlaşılması ve bu algının iş performansları ile örgütsel çevikliğe etkilerinin belirlenmesi de araştırmanın amaçları arasında belirlenmiştir. Bunun yanında belirtilen kavramlar arasında çalışan performansının aracı etkisi de incelenmiştir. Yapılan korelasyon analizleri sonucunda elde edilmiş istatistiksel neticelere göre çevik liderlik, dijital liderlik, çalışan performansı ve örgütsel çeviklik arasında pozitif ilişkilerin olduğu görülmüştür. Ayrıca çoklu regresyon analizi sonucu çalışan performansı üzerinde hem dijital liderliğin hem de çevik liderliğin pozitif etkilerinin olduğu anlaşılmaktadır.
