Bu çalışmanın amacı etik liderliğin çalışanların iş tatmini, işten ayrılma niyeti ve işe adanma üzerindeki etkilerini ortaya koymaktır. Bunun için tekstil sektöründe faaliyet göstermekte olan 197 çalışandan anket yöntemi kullanılarak veri toplanmıştır. Araştırma kapsamında öncelikle doğrulayıcı faktör analizi yapılarak modelin çok iyi uyum sağladığı belirlenmiştir. Çalışmada ele alınmış olan ölçeklerin iç tutarlıkları Cronbach Alfa katsayısı ile değerlendirilmiş ve ölçeklerin güvenilir olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca değişkenler arasındaki korelasyon katsayıları da ortaya konulmuştur. Çalışmada ele alınan model çerçevesinde yapısal eşitlik modeli ve bootstrap yöntemi kullanılarak değişkenler arasındaki doğrudan, dolaylı ve toplam etkiler ortaya konulmuştur. Buna göre araştırma modelinin çok iyi uyum sağladığı görülmüştür. Elde edilmiş olan bulgulara göre etik liderliğin iş tatmini ve işten ayrılma niyetine etkisinde işe adanmanın kısmi aracı rolü olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bunun yansıra etik liderlik, iş tatmini, işten ayrılma niyeti ve işe adanma arasındaki doğrudan ve toplam etkiler de anlamlı olarak tespit edilmiştir. Çalışmanın bulguları etik liderliğin çalışanların iş tatmini ve işten ayrılma niyetine etkilerini ortaya koymakta ve söz konusu ilişkilerde işe adanmanın da kısmi aracılık etkisi olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu bulgular sonuç bölümünde literatür kapsamında tartışılmaktadır.

For this purpose, data were collected from 197 employees working in textile sector through the survey method. In the study, confirmatory factor analysis showed that the model had a very good fit. The internal consistencies of the scales in the study were determined with Cronbach Alpha coefficient, which concluded that the scales were valid. In addition to these, correlation coefficients between the variables were also calculated. According to the model in the study, structural equation modelling and bootstrapping method were used to reveal the direct, indirect, and total effects between the variables. According to this, the proposed model showed a very good fit. The results indicated that employee engagement had a partial mediating role in the effect of ethical leadership on job satisfaction, and turnover intentions. In addition to this, the results showed that direct and total effects between ethical leadership, job satisfaction, turnover intentions and employee engagement were statistically significant.
