Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı, üniversitelerde, lider ve örgüt üyeleri arasındaki etkileşimin, akademisyenlerin örgütsel özdeşleme düzeyi üzerindeki etkisini ve bu etkide çalışanların mesleki motivasyon düzeyinin aracılık rolünü incelemektir. Araştırmada nicel araştırma yöntemlerinden ilişkisel araştırma yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Veri toplama yöntemi olarak değişkenlerin ölçeklerinden ve demografik bölümden oluşan anket kullanılmıştır. Değişkenler arasındaki ilişkileri incelemek amacıyla korelasyon, basit doğrusal regresyon ve aracılık etkisini test etmek amacıyla çoklu regresyon analizi kullanılmıştır. Araştırma, lider üye etkileşiminin örgütsel özdeşleşmeyi anlamlı ve pozitif yönde etkilediğini ve bu etkide mesleki motivasyonun tam aracılık rolüne sahip olduğunu göstermektedir. Mesleğinin doğası gereği özgün nitelikler sergileyen akademisyenler açısından lider üye etkileşiminin ve örgütsel özdeşleşmenin incelenmesine ilişkin bulguların ortaya konulması üniversiteler için önemli yönetimsel çıkarımlar sağlamaktadır.
