“…However, the research showed that a leadership style, adopted by an organization, greatly influences workplace performance as well as organizational productivity. In a research on democratic style of leadership by Sharma and Singh (2013), they concluded that in regards to their study sample, a significant factor that makes democratic leadership style effective is that majority of the samples are leaders from the government and public sector organizations, where the final decision is usually made by a higher authority.…”

IntroductionA major role of a leader in an organization is to lead the employees to achieve organizational goals. A leader is an individual who has the capacity to influence the behavior of others and also holds a central position in leadership situations (Genty, 2014). Leadership plays a significant role in an organization by developing a mission, vision and establishing ideas, designing strategies, developing policies and methods so as to achieve the organizational objectives efficiently as well as directing and coordinating efforts and activities of the organization (Xu and Wang, 2008, cited by Ebrahim, 2018). According to Burian, Francis, Burian and Pieffer (2014), 'Leadership is the blending of vision, and contribution to society, turning ideas into reality through others that share the same vision.' An organization needs well competent, capable and skilled workforce in order to achieve the organizations' strategic goals and employees do have the ability to increase or decrease the productivity and profitability of an organization and so in order to achieve their goals leadership style is believed to be a factor that can influence employee's efficiency at work (Muhammad, Qin, Amir and Aruba, 2017).A good leader is able to make a success out of a poor business plan while a poor leader can make a failure of a good business plan, as leadership ability brings valuable asset to an organization which can improve an organization's growth and revenue generation which will result out of the organization spending so much on the subject of leadership training and development (Kemal, 2015). However, good leadership is essential for an organization to attain its mission, goals and objectives as well as manage the changes happening in the external environment. It is believed that a lot of organizations are faced with problems related to unethical practices, high labor turn-over, poor performances amongst others, which may be as a result of poor leadership style (Ebrahim, 2018).'Leadership brings in a required change to influence learning and development of required skills, performance and creates a platform for individual growth in an organization' (Sunil, 2018). This results into a need for effective leaders that are able to recognize the difficulties of the fast-changing global environment and equally know what to do. If a task is well structured and there is a good relationship between the leader and the employees, both the employees will be effective and the organization will be productive (Nanjundeswaraswamy and Swamy, 2014

“…Demokratik liderlik: Demokratik liderler, çalışan üretkenliğinin ve memnuniyetinin artmasına yardımcı olma, çalışanlara rehberlik etme ve çalışanlara yetki devri astların bilgi paylaşımına izin verme gibi çoğu liderlik tarzından daha yüksek çalışan memnuniyeti sağlanır (Sharma, 2013). Ayrıca olumlu bir örgüt ikliminin yaratılmasına yardımcı olan ve astların kararlara katılımlarının sağlanması ile motive edilmelerinden dolayı olumlu bir liderlik tarzı olarak kabul edilirler (Arıkan, 2001).…”

Öz: Günümüz yeni krizleri beklenmedik ölçüde büyük ölçekli, yeni ya da benzeri görülmemiş konularda, kendini belirli bir sektörle sınırlamayan, siyasi, doğal ya da teknolojik nedenlerden kaynaklanan, aynı anda bir toplumu ya da pek çok ülkeyi etkileyen ve nedenlerinin karmaşık ve tanımlanmasının çok zor olması gibi özellikler taşımaktadır. Yaşanan bu küresel sağlık krizi yeni kriz tanımının pek çok özelliğini bünyesinde barındırmaktadır. Bu ortamda liderliğin zorluğu bu ve benzeri riskleri önlemek ya da fırsata dönüştürebilmektir. Üst düzey liderler kriz öncesinde, kriz sırasında ve sonrasında anahtar faktördür. Çünkü liderin kalitesi ve liderlik tarzı krizin uzunluğunu, şiddetini ve nihai sonuçlarını etkilemektedir. Bu çalışmanın temel amacı Fortune 500 Türkiye Listesinde (2020) yer alan şirket üst düzey yöneticilerinin pandemi sürecinde sergiledikleri liderlik tarzlarının belirlenmesidir. Çalışmada işletmelerin kriz ya da belirsizlik durumundan çıkmasına yardımcı olabilecek liderlik tarzlarından dönüşümcü, etkileşimci, demokratik ve otoriter liderlik konu edilmiştir. Nitel araştırma yönteminin kullanıldığı araştırmada veriler, şirket üst düzey yöneticilerine ait kişisel Twitter paylaşımlarından sağlanmıştır. Elde edilen veriler kodlanarak sınıflandırılmış, temalar ve alt temalar elde edilmiştir. Veriler MAXQDA yazılımı kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Yapılan analiz sonucunda üst düzey yöneticilerin dört liderlik tarzından otoriter liderlik dışındaki liderlik tarzlarına uygun söylemlerde bulunduğu tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca, yöneticilerin yaptıkları paylaşımların gelecek odaklılık, örgüt, toplum veya gruba fayda sağlama, izleyicileri motive etme, değer yaratan faaliyetlere odaklanma ve ödüllendirme ile başarıyı pekiştirme gibi büyük çoğunluğu dönüşümcü liderliğe ait özelliklerde yoğunlaştığı görülmüştür.

Previous research on cyber workplace incivility (CWPI) is dependent and severely limited by psychological and social-psychological perspectives. This research builds on the previous studies by applying the Labor Process Theory with its core characteristics of power, control, and exploitation of labor so that further exploration of workplace incivility issues could be carried out. This research also uses Conservation of Resources (COR) Theory to explain the devastating long term negative impact of cyber workplace incivility on employees. The researchers also look at the role of technology due to increased connectivity, such as email, social media, mobile communication, blogs, and internet message boards at the workplace. This article contributes by looking at individual and institutional antecedents of CWPI and provides empirical support using a survey study.
