ETHICAL LEADERSHIP, ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE, AND INTRAPRENEURSHIP: A STUDY IN THE BANKING SECTOR

Öz

The purpose of this research is to measure the perceptions of bank sector employees regarding ethical leadership, intrapreneurship, and organizational culture, and to examine the relationship between these variables. The cross-sectional survey method was utilized for data collection and analysis, employing quantitative research methods. For this purpose, data collected through surveys from 395 bank personnel using convenience sampling method were evaluated through statistical analyses. The findings indicate a significant positive relationship among bank employees between ethical leadership, organizational culture, and intrapreneurial behavior. It was found that organizational culture has a higher explanatory power for intrapreneurship than the perception of ethical leadership, while ethical leadership has a higher explanatory power for organizational culture. This study provides a significant contribution to understanding the dynamic relationship between ethical leadership, intrapreneurship, and organizational culture. This understanding can guide managers and researchers in leadership strategies and organizational culture development practices. The rarity and significance of this study are underscored by the lack of previous research simultaneously addressing the relationship between ethical leadership, intrapreneurship, and organizational culture in the banking sector, thus indicating its potential to contribute to the academic literature in this field.

ETİK LİDERLİK, ÖRGÜT KÜLTÜRÜ VE İÇ GİRİŞIMCİLİK: BANKACILIK SEKTÖRÜNDE BİR İNCELENME

Öz

Bu araştırmanın amacı bankacılık sektörü çalışanlarının etik liderlik, iç girişimcilik ve örgüt kültürüne yönelik algılarını ölçmek ve bu değişkenlerin birbirleriyle olan ilişkini incelemektir. Çalışma nicel desenli bir araştırmadır. Kesitsel tarama yöntemi kullanılarak veri toplanmıştır. Bu amaçla, kolayda örneklem belirleme yöntemi ile 395 banka personelinden anketler aracılığıyla toplanan veriler, istatistiksel analizlerle değerlendirilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular, banka çalışanlarının etik liderlik, örgüt kültürü ve iç girişimcilik davranışı arasında pozitif yönlü anlamlı bir ilişki olduğunu göstermektedir. Örgüt kültürünün iç girişimciliği açıklama gücünün etik liderlik algısından daha yüksek olduğu, etik liderliğin ise örgüt kültürünü açıklayıcılık gücünün yüksek olduğu bulgulanmıştır. Bu çalışma, etik liderlik, iç girişimcilik ve örgüt kültürü arasındaki dinamik ilişkiyi anlamada önemli bir katkı sağlamaktadır. Bu anlayış, liderlik stratejileri ve örgüt kültürü geliştirme pratiği konularında yöneticilere ve araştırmacılara rehberlik etmek için kullanılabilir. Daha önce yapılan çalışmalarda, bankacılık sektöründe etik liderlik, iç girişimcilik ve örgüt kültürü ilişkisini birlikte ele alan bir araştırmaya rastlanmamış olması, çalışmayı nadir ve önemli kılmakta ve bu yönüyle çalışmanın alan yazına katkı sunacağına inanılmaktadır.
