Exploring the impacts of personal factors on self‐leadership in a hospital setting

Abstract

Self-leadership may be defined as a self-effecting process that individuals experience by maintaining the motivation they require for fulfilling their roles and duties. The self-leadership process comprises three key strategies: behaviour-oriented strategies, natural reward strategies and constructive thought pattern strategies. What is intended herein is to inquire about the implementation of self-leadership within organisations and to examine the effects of such variables as age, gender, total terms of employment, marital status and education on self-leadership strategies. The primary data collection instrument was a survey distributed to 450 personnel working at a state hospital in Kırıkkale, Turkey, and feedback thereto was received from 308 (68.4%) of those surveyed. As a result of the findings taken from the analyses, age, total terms of employment and receipt of education in leadership affect the use of self-leadership strategies. Although age and total terms of employment display a negative-directional correlation with the self-leadership strategies, female employees and those who receive education in leadership are more inclined towards self-leadership strategies.

The mediating effects of self-leadership on perceived entrepreneurial orientation and innovative work behavior in the banking sector

“…However, there is a lack of empirical evidence exploring the relationship between the perceived EO, SL and IWB. Empirical research on these dynamic relationships also needs to be expanded into different cultures, since majority of SL and IWB studies have been examined within the context of developed countries (Alves et al 2006; Chen et al 2012; Ugurluoglu et al 2015). In addition, previous empirical researches on SL have neglected to specify the antecedents of SL and test the possible mediating role of SL, except the studies of Curral and Marques-Quinteiro (2009) and Pratoom and Savatsomboon (2012).…”

A ubiquitous method for street scale spatial data collection and analysis in challenging urban environments: mapping health risks using spatial video in Haiti

“…The challenges of living in underserviced urban environments are well documented: a lack of resources and service provision, little political voice, a high disease burden as a result of poor environmental conditions and high population density, and limited access to health care [24]. Many of these environments are also prone to hazards either due to conditions within (for example the 2013 fires in the informal settlements of Dhaka), proximity to known physical risks (the 2010 earthquake in Haiti) or a combination of both, especially with regard to flooding [25].…”

Sağlık Çalışanlarının Öz Liderlik Düzeylerinin Sosyo-Demografik Değişkenler Açısından İncelenmesi

“…Ulusal literatürde öz liderlik çalışmalarının yetersizliği konunun öneminin tam olarak anlaşılmamasına neden olmaktadır. Özellikle sağlık sektöründe öz liderlikle ilgili yapılan çalışmaların ise (Uğurluoğlu, 2010;Uğurluoğlu, Saygılı, Özer, & Şantaş, 2015;Kayral, 2015) sınırlı olması, sağlık hizmetlerinde öz liderliğin ve öz liderlik ile ilişkilendirilebilecek diğer kavramların (iş doyumu, iş stresi, performans, vb.) araştırılmasını önemli kılmaktadır.…”
