Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı sorumlu liderliğin ve otonom (özerk) çevre motivasyonunun gönüllü yeşil davranış üzerindeki etkilerini belirlemektir. Araştırmanın evrenini Balıkesir ilinde ve ilçelerinde görev yapan 1830 banka personeli oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmanın örneklemini Bandırma ilçesi ve Balıkesir il merkezinde görev yapan 340 banka personeli oluşturmaktadır. Veriler anket yolu ile elde edilmiştir. Elde edilen verilerle frekans analizi, güvenilirlik analizi, keşfedici faktör analizi, normallik testi, korelasyon analizi ve çoklu regresyon analizi yapılmıştır. Yapılan çoklu regresyon analizinin neticesinde sorumlu liderliğin gönüllü yeşil davranış üzerinde anlamlı ve olumlu etkisinin olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Ancak otonom (özerk) çevre motivasyonunun gönüllü yeşil davranış üzerinde anlamlı etkisi olmadığı belirlenmiştir. Araştırmaya konu olan değişkenlerle ilgili literatürde oldukça az sayıda çalışmanın olması ve bu çalışmada sorumlu liderlik ile otonom (özerk) çevre motivasyonunun gönüllü yeşil davranış üzerindeki etkilerinin ele alınacak olması, araştırmanın özgün yönünü ortaya koyacaktır. Sonuç bölümünde araştırma bulguları ışığında öneriler sunulmuştur.

The Effect of Responsible Leadership and Autonomous Environmental Motivatıon on Voluntary Green Behavior: A Research in the Banking Sector

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to determine the effects of responsible leadership and autonomous environmental motivation on voluntary green behavior. The population of the research consists of 1830 bank employees working in Balıkesir province. The sample of the research consists of 340 bank employees working in Bandırma district and Balıkesir city center. Data was obtained through survey. Frequency, reliability, exploratory factor, normality, correlation, multiple regression analyses were performed with the data obtained. As a result of the multiple regression analysis, it was determined that responsible leadership had a significant and positive effect on voluntary green behavior. However, it was determined that autonomous environmental motivation did not have a significant effect on voluntary green behavior. The fact that there are very few studies in the literature regarding the variables subject to the research and that the effects of responsible leadership and autonomous environmental motivation on voluntary green behavior will be discussed in this study will reveal the unique aspect of the research. In the conclusion section, suggestions are presented in the light of the research findings.
