The Impact of Ethical Leadership on Organizational Commitment: The Case of Participation Banks

Participation banking is a banking model based on profit-sharing principles, where the institution and employees operate in accordance with ethical values. In this model, the managers and employees of the organization adopt ethical principles such as honesty, transparency, and fairness. Organizational commitment refers to the emotional and psychological attachment of employees to the organization. A participation banking model managed in line with profit-sharing principles increases employees' commitment to their jobs and the organization.

The total number of employees is 2,776. The sample of the study is calculated to be 324 individuals. A total of 338 people participated in the survey. The study found a positive relationship between ethical leadership and organizational commitment. This research emphasizes the importance of ethical leadership in the field of participation banking, highlighting the significance of enhancing the commitment to ethical values within the institution and the emotional attachment of employees to the organization.

Etik Liderliğin, Örgütsel Bağlılık Üzerine Etkisi: Katılım Bankası Örneği

Öz

Katılım bankacılığı, kurumun ve çalışanların etik değerlere uygun bir şekilde faaliyet gösterdiği, kar payı prensiplerine dayalı bir bankacılık modelidir. Bu modelde, işletmenin yöneticileri ve çalışanları dürüstlük, şeffaflık ve adalet gibi etik ilkeleri benimserler. Örgütsel bağlılık ise, çalışanların işletmeye duygusal ve psikolojik olarak bağlı olmalarını ifade eder. Kar payı prensiplerine uygun olarak yönetilen bir katılım bankacılığı modeli, çalışanların işlerine ve kuruma olan bağlılıklarını artırır. Bu araştırma, etik liderliğin örgütsel bağlılık algısı üzerinde bir rol oynayıp oynamadığını belirlemeyi hedeflemektedir. Araştırmanın evrenini bir kamu bankasında çalışan kişiler oluşturmaktadır. Toplam çalışan sayısı 2776 kişidir. Araştırmanın örneklemi 324 kişi olarak hesap edilmiştir. Ankete toplam 338 kişi katılmıştır. Çalışmada etik liderlik ile örgütsel bağlılık arasında, pozitif yönde bir ilişki olduğu saptanmıştır. Bu çalışma, katılım bankacılığı alanında etik liderliğin önemini vurgulayarak, kurum içindeki etik değerlere olan bağlılığın ve çalışanların işletmeye duygusal bağlılığının artırılmasının önemini ortaya koymaktadır.
