Abstract

The number of studies that have been conducted in various cultures in relation to
leader emergence is limited. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of sex
and a pattern of self-monitoring, self-efficacy and dominance personality traits on leader
emergence in Turkey. Two hundred and fifteen business students from a public university
in Istanbul were categorized according to their sex and personality traits, and 60 of them
were appointed to 4-person leaderless discussion groups randomly. Each group worked
on an initiating structure type of task. After sessions were completed the participants rated
other group members on a leadership perception scale. The results indicated that while there
was no leader emergence difference between the sexes, the participants who were high on
self-monitoring, self-efficacy and dominance personality traits emerged as leaders more
than the participants who were low on all of these traits. These findings imply that both
the culture and the task that has been worked on may have some important contributions
in terms of leader emergence.

Lider Ortaya Çıkışında Cinsiyet ve Kişiliğin Etkisinin Yapıyı Harekete Geçirme Türü Görevde İncelenmesi

Abstract

Lider ortaya çıkışına yönelik olarak farklı kültürlerde yürütülmüş araştırmalar oldukça
kısıtlıdır. Bu araştırmada cinsiyet ile kendini ayarlama, öz etkinlik ve dominantlık kişilik
özelliklerinden oluşan bir modelin liderin ortaya çıkışı üzerindeki etkisi Türkiye’de incelen-
miştir. İstanbul’daki bir devlet üniversitesinin işletme bölümünde öğrenci olan 215 katılımcı
kişilik özellikleri ve cinsiyetlerine göre kategorilere ayrılmış ve 60’ı dörder kişiden oluşan
lidersiz tartışma gruplarına seçkisiz olarak atanmıştır. Her grup yapıyı harekete geçirme
türünde bir görev üzerinde çalışmıştır. Görevin tamamlanmasının ardından katılımcılar
diğer grup üyelerini ne kadar lider olarak algıladıkları açısından değerlendirmişlerdir.
Sonuçlar, lider ortaya çıkışında cinsiyete bağlı bir farklılık olmadığını gösterirken, her üç
kişilik özelliğinde de (kendini ayarlama, öz etkinlik ve dominantlık) yüksek puan alanların
düşük alanlara göre daha yüksek düzeyde lider olarak ortaya çıktıklarını ortaya koymuştur.
Bulgular, kültürün ve üzerinde çalışılan görevin lider ortaya çıkışında önemli rollere sahip
olabileceğini göstermektedir.
