THE EFFECT OF LEADER-MEMBER EXCHANGE ON EMPLOYEES' HAPPINESS: A RESEARCH ON WHITE COLLAR EMPLOYEES
Öz
The effect of Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) on the happiness levels of white-collar employees and its relationship with demographic factors were investigated in this study. It is important to investigate the factors that directly affect a factor such as the feeling of happiness, which has been determined in many studies to be a source of productivity and motivation for employees. Unlike the similar ones, in this study, the result was reached by measuring the general level of happiness felt in all areas of life, not well being at work. The research was carried out on the white collar employees of the furniture manufacturer enterprises operating in Inegöl District. Data were collected from 389 employees through two scales. The first scale measures the interaction of employees with unit managers while the second one is designed to measure the happiness levels of employees. Normality, reliability and validity analyses of the scales were performed and then, it was tested whether the happiness and LMX levels of the employees have significant difference according to demographic factors trough the data collected. The result revealed that only LMX level have a significant difference in relation to the age of employees. Finally, the main hypothesis of our study was tested and showed that the relationship between LMX level and the happiness level of the employees is positive and significant.
