Abstract

In this study, it is aimed to reveal conceptually the effect of ethical leadership on knowledge sharing of employees. In this context, a systematic literature review has been conducted. As a result of the examination, it was determined that ethical leadership has strong effects on the formation of knowledge sharing. Also, according to the detailed literature review; it is come up that some factors such as leader-member exchange, organizational citizenship behavior, job satisfaction, self-efficacy, trust in the leader, perceived organizational support, intrinsic motivation, organizational commitment, and organizational identification are both the outcome of ethical leadership and the antecedents of knowledge sharing. It has been concluded that a sufficient correlation has not been established in the literature within the framework of these common factors. It is observed that the relationship between ethical leadership and knowledge sharing is not handled within the framework of such theories as social change theory, role model theory, reciprocity theory, social learning theory, etc. Moreover, it is seen that the possible effects of cultural differences on the relationship between ethical leadership and knowledge sharing behavior have not been investigated by researchers.

Etik Liderlik ile Bilgi Paylaşımı Arasındaki İlişki: Sistematik Bir İnceleme

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, etik liderliğin çalışanların bilgi paylaşımına olan etkisini kavramsal olarak ortaya koymak amaçlanmaktadır. Bu bağlamda, sistematik literatür incelemesi yapılmıştır. İncelemeler sonucunda, çalışanların bilgi paylaşımı davranışı sergilemesinde etik liderliğin güçlü etkilerinin olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca, detaylı literatür taraması sonucuna göre; lider-üye değişimi, örgütsel vatandaşlık davranışı, iş tatmini, öz-yeterlilik, lidere olan güven, algılanan örgütsel destek, içsel motivasyon, örgütsel bağlılık ve örgütsel özdeşleşme gibi bazı faktörlerin hem etik liderliğin çıktısı hem de bilgi paylaşımının öncülleri olduğu anlaşılmaktadır. Belirlenen bu ortak faktörler çerçevesinde literatürde yeterince ilişki kurulmadığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Etik liderlik ile bilgi paylaşımı arasındaki ilişki, sosyal değişim teorisi, rol model teorisi, karşılıklılık teorisi, sosyal öğrenme teorisi vb. teoriler çerçevesinde ele alınmadığı gözlemlenmektedir. Bununla birlikte, kültürel farklılıkların etik liderlik ile bilgi paylaşım davranışı arasındaki ilişkiye olan muhtemel etkileri araştırmacılar tarafından incelenmediği de görülmektedir.
