Abstract

In recent years, employees’
perspectives on their job come upon as an underscore topic that is particularly
in the field of organizational behavior. Therefore, the main purpose of the
study is to identify the effects of two different leadership types on
employees’ affective and physical work engagement. Research has been carried
out on Malls, which is an important component of the retailing sector, and
complete inventory method is used on Duzce Krempark Mall employees.  Quantitative method was preferred as research
method and survey was preferred as the data collection technique. Factor
analysis was performed primarily to determine the structure of variables. It
has been found that the concepts of transformation and abusive leadership are
represented in one dimension, and the concept work-engagement is represented in
two dimensions as emotional and physical. When the interaction between
variables is examined, the behaviors of abusive leadership have a negative
effect on both emotional and physical work engagement while transformational
leadership behaviors have a positive effect.

Dönüşümcü Ve İstismarcı Liderlik Davranışlarının İşe Adanmışlık Üzerine Etkisi: AVM Çalışanları Örneği

Abstract

Son yıllarda çalışanların
işlerine yönelik bakış açıları örgütsel davranış alanında özellikle üstünde
durulan bir konu olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Dolayısıyla çalışanların
duygusal ve fiziksel bağlamda adanmışlık davranışlarını pekiştirmek amacıyla
iki farklı liderlik tipinin etkisini tespit etmek araştırmanın temel amacını
oluşturmaktadır. Perakende sektörünün önemli bir bileşeni olan AVM’ler üzerinde
yapılan araştırma Düzce Krempark AVM çalışanları örneği üzerinden tam sayım
yöntemiyle gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırma yöntemi olarak nicel yöntem, veri
toplama tekniği olarak anket tercih edilmiştir. Araştırmada öncelikle
değişkenlerin yapısını belirlemek amacıyla faktör analizleri gerçekleştirilmiş;
dönüşümcü ve istismarcı liderlik kavramlarının tek boyutta, işe adanmışlık
kavramının ise duygusal ve fiziksel olmak üzere iki boyutta temsil edildiği
tespit edilmiştir. Değişkenler arasındaki etkileşim incelendiğinde ise
istismarcı liderlik davranışlarının gerek duygusal gerek fiziksel işe
adanmışlık algısı üzerinde negatif etkiye sahipken dönüşümcü liderlik
davranışlarının pozitif yönde etki ettiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
