DÖNÜŞÜMSEL LİDERLİK DAVRANIŞININ YÖNETİM İNOVASYONU ÜZERİNDEKİ ETKİSİ: TÜRKİYE’DE AMPİRİK BİR ARAŞTIRMA

Abstract

İnovasyonla ilgili akademik araştırmaların sayısı her geçen gün artmaktadır. Ancak bu araştırmaların daha çok teknolojik değişimlerin ekonomik etkilerine ve teknoloji tabanlı ürün ve süreç inovasyonlarına odaklandığı görülmektedir (Damanpour, 2014). Yönetim inovasyonuyla ilgili araştırma ve akademik yayın sayısı, teknolojik inovasyona nazaran göreceli olarak daha azdır. Ancak, yönetim inovasyonlarının yapılması sonucu oluşacak organizasyonel değişimlerin, aslında çoğu zaman teknolojik inovasyonları yapmanın bir ön koşulu olduğu ifade edilmektedir (Sanidas, 2005). Bu bağlamda bu çalışmanın amacı, dönüşümsel liderlik davranışı alt boyutları olan idealleştirilmiş etki (karizma), ilham verme (telkinle güdüleme), entelektüel teşvik ve bireyselleştirilmiş ilgi liderlik davranışının yönetim inovasyonu üzerindeki etkisini araştırmaktır. Araştırma Türkiye’de bir kamu kurumunda çalışan 198 yöneticiden alınan verilerle gerçekleştirilmiştir. Analizler sonucunda bireyselleştirilmiş ilgi liderlik davranışının yönetim inovasyonu üzerinde pozitif ve anlamlı bir etkiye sahip olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bununla birlikte diğer boyutlar olan idealleştirilmiş etki (karizma), ilham verme (telkinle güdüleme) ve entelektüel teşvik liderlik davranışlarının yönetim inovasyonu üzerinde anlamlı bir etkiye sahip olmadıkları tespit edilmiştir.

THE IMPACT OF TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP ON MANAGEMENT INNOVATION: AN EMPIRICAL RESEARCH IN TURKEY

Abstract

The number of academic researches on innovation has been steadily on the rise. Yet these researches focus primarily on economic impacts of technological transformations and product and process innovations based on technology (Damanpour, 2014). The number of researches and academic publications about management innovation are relatively low with respect to technological innovation. Yet organizational innovations occurred as a result of management innovations, are considered as a prerequisite for technological innovations (Sanidas, 2005). In this regard, the aim of this study is to analyze the impact of transformational leadership sub-components such as idealized influence (charisma), inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation and individual consideration on management innovation. The research data are obtained through 198 Turkish public managers. The analyses reveals that individual consideration has a positive and significant impact on management innovation, whereas other sub-components such as idealized influence (charisma), inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation do not cause a significant impact.
