The Effect of Ethical Leadership Behavior on Perceived Organizational Climate: Mediating Role of Work Loneliness

Abstract

Bu çalışmada işletmelerdeki etik liderlik davranışlarının çalışanların algıladıkları örgüt iklimi üzerindeki etkileri ile bu etkileşimde iş yaşamındaki yalnızlık duygusunun aracılık rolü olup olmadığı araştırılmaktadır. Çalışma amaçları doğrultusunda geliştirilen soru formu, İstanbul'da faaliyet gösteren bir tekstil firmasının 166 çalışanına uygulanmıştır. Elde edilen verilerin güvenilirlikleri Cronbach Alfa ve McDonald'ın Omega testleri ile incelenmiş ve ölçeklerin genel olarak güvenilir olduğu görülmüştür. Hipotez testleri için Kısmi En Küçük Kareler Yöntemi (PLS) ile kurulan yapısal eşitlik modellemesi ile Sobel testlerinden yararlanılmış ve yapılan analizler sonucunda etik liderlik davranışlarının çalışanların algıladıkları örgüt iklimi üzerinde pozitif yönlü ve anlamlı etkisinin olduğu ve bu etkide iş yaşamında yalnızlık duygusunun kısmen aracılık rolü oynadığı tespit edilmiştir.
