Abstract

Örgütlerde etik
liderliğin çalışanların iş performansı ve iş tatminini nasıl ve hangi yönde
etkilediğinin belirlenmesi ve bu değişkenlerin birbirleri ile ilişkilerinin
ortaya konulmasıdır. Çalışma kapsamında etik liderliğin çalışanların iş
performansı ve iş tatminine etkisini ortaya koymak amacıyla nicel bir araştırma
gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmanın evrenini beyaz eşya üretimi yapan bir
firmanın genel müdürlüğünde çalışan 257 personel oluşturmaktadır. Araştırma
sonucunda toplam 172 kullanılabilir anket formu elde edilmiştir.

Araştırma
sonuçlarına göre; etik liderlik ile iş performansı arasında anlamlı ve pozitif
yönde bir ilişki (r=,478, p<0,01), etik liderlik ile iş tatmini arasında ise
yine anlamlı ve pozitif yönde bir ilişki (r=,526, p<0,01) olduğu
görülmektedir. Etik liderliğin iş performansı üzerinde anlamlı bir etkisinin
olduğu (ß=0.478; p<0,001) ve %22,8 oranında açıklayıcı olduğu (R2= 0.228),
iş tatmini üzerinde de yine anlamlı bir etkisinin olduğu (ß=0.526; p<0,001)
ve %27,6 oranında açıklayıcı olduğu (R2=0.276) görülmektedir.

Araştırmadan elde
edilen bulgular örgütlerde yöneticilerce uygulanan etik liderlik yaklaşımının
çalışanların iş performansını ve iş tatminini olumlu yönde etkilediğini
göstermektedir. Bu bulgular ilgili literatürü de destekler niteliktedir. Bu
doğrultuda araştırmacıların gelecek çalışmalarda etik liderlik ile diğer
çalışan çıktıları arasındaki ilişkileri de ele almaları ve yöneticilerin de,
etik konusunda hassasiyeti artan toplum ve çalışanları dikkate alarak, liderlik
tarzlarında etiği daha öncelikli bir konuma taşımaları tavsiye edilmektedir.
