Leadership as a topic holds an important place in literature in the area of organization and management. Despite the research on managerial approaches and practices based on the cultural characteristics of western societies is abundant, the research reflecting cultural characteristics of eastern societies in the same field is scarce. On the other hand, recent research has frequently demonstrated that the leadership model based on paternalism phenomenon which reflects the dominant cultural characteristics of eastern societies is highly effective in those societies (Pellegrini et al., 2010). As substantial amount of studies show paternalistic leadership phenomenon is also a positive cultural value in our country. It is important to investigate the effects of this phenomenon on different affective and cognitive mechanisms that lead to positive employee behaviours. Regarding this, the purpose of this study is to examine the mediating role of trust in the leader on the effect of paternalistic leadership on organizational identification. The data is collected from 148 employees who work in three different industries in İzmir. The path analysis findings indicated that trust in leader mediates the relationship of benevolent leadership and identification. These findings compatible with hypothetical model.

Örgüt ve yönetim araştırmalarının temel çalışma alanlarından birini teşkil eden liderlik araştırmaları alan yazında önemli bir yer tutmaktadır.
Ancak, batı toplumlarının kültürel özelliklerine dayalı etik bağlamdaki yönetsel anlayış ve uygulamalara ilişkin araştırmalar yaygın olmasına
karşın, doğu toplumlarının kültürel özelliklerini yansıtan emik araştırmalar oldukça yetersizdir. Bununla birlikte son yıllardaki araştırmalarda,
doğu toplumlarının baskın kültürel özelliğini yansıtan paternalizm olgusuna dayalı bir liderlik modelinin bu toplumlarda daha etkili olduğu
sıklıkla ifade edilmektedir. Ülkemizde de olumlu bir kültürel değeri yansıttığı bir çok araştırmada ortaya konan paternalist liderlik
olgusunun, işgörenleri olumlu iş davranışları sergilemeye yönlendiren farklı duyuşsal, bilişsel ve tutumsal mekanizmaları ne yönde
etkilediğinin araştırılması bu açıdan önem arz etmektedir. Bu bağlamda çalışma, paternalist liderliğin örgütsel özdeşleşme üzerindeki
etkisinde lidere güvenin aracılık rolünü incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Araştırmada veriler, İzmir ilindeki üç farklı endüstrideki 148 çalışan
üzerinden kolayda örnekleme yöntemi ile toplanmıştır. Araştırma amacı doğrultusunda, path (yol) analizi bulguları, paternalist liderlik
boyutlarından yardımseverlik ile özdeşleşme ilişkisinde varsayımlanan modele uygun olarak lidere güvenin aracılık rolü olduğunu
göstermektedir.
