Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı mütevazı liderlik ile beyana dayalı kişisel inisiyatif arasındaki ilişkide psikolojik güvenliğin aracı rolünü incelemektir. Araştırma hipotezlerinin testinde Türkiye’de havacılık sektöründe faaliyet gösteren özel bir şirketin çalışanlarından oluşan örneklemden (n = 205) faydalanılmıştır. Anket tekniği kullanılarak elde edilmiş olan veriler SPSS, AMOS ve Process Macro programlarıyla analiz edilmiştir. Yapılan analizlerde mütevazı liderlik ile beyana dayalı kişisel inisiyatif arasında anlamlı bir ilişkinin olduğu ve mütevazı liderlik ile beyana dayalı kişisel inisiyatif arasındaki ilişkide psikolojik güvenliğin aracı rolünün bulunduğu belirlenmiştir. Mevcut çalışma mütevazı liderlik ile kişisel inisiyatif alma arasındaki ilişkiyi araştırarak, kişisel inisiyatifin öncülleri hakkındaki literatürü zenginleştirmektedir. Ayrıca mütevazı liderlik ve kişisel inisiyatif arasındaki ilişkide psikolojik güvenliğin aracı rolü incelenerek mütevazı liderlik ve kişisel inisiyatif arasındaki ilişkiyi açıklama noktasında bir sosyal değişim mekanizması kurulmaya çalışılmıştır. Araştırmanın literatüre yaptığı teorik ve pratik etkiler detaylı bir şekilde ele alınmıştır. Ayrıca gelecekte yapılacak araştırmalara ve yöneticilere yönelik yol gösterici birtakım önerilerde bulunulmaya çalışılmıştır.

The Mediating Role of Psychological Safety on The Relationship Between Humble Leadership and Self – Reported Personal Initiative

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the mediating role of psychological safety on the relationship between humble leadership and self – reported personal initiative. A sample (n = 205) of employees of a private company operating in the aviation industry in Turkey was used to test the research hypotheses. The data obtained by the survey technique were analyzed with SPSS, AMOS and Process Macro programs. In the analysis, it was determined that there is a significant relationship between humble leadership and self – reported personal initiative and psychological safety has a mediating effect on the relationship between humble leadership and self – reported personal initiative. The present study enriches the literature on the antecedents of personal initiative by exploring the relationship between humble leadership and taking personal initiative. In addition, by examining the mediating role of psychological safety in the relationship between humble leadership and personal initiative, a social change mechanism has been tried to be established in order to explain the relationship between humble leadership and personal initiative. The theoretical and practical effects of the research on the literature are discussed in detail. In addition, it has been tried to make some guiding suggestions for future research and administrators.
