AN INVESTIGATION ON CREATIVITY PERFORMANCE IN THE CONTEXT OF LEADERSHIP STYLES AND INDIVIDUAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Entrepreneurs are similar to leaders in terms of individual characteristics. At the same time, entrepreneurs who have high creative performance are considered as successful. This study aims to determine the impact of leadership styles (LS); democratic, managerial, and charismatic leadership on individual entrepreneurship perception’s (IEP) dimensions; planning, self-confidence, communication, motivation, and selfdiscipline, and impact of IEP’s dimensions on creativity performance (CP). In this empirical study, the data were collected from 286 entrepreneurs in Turkey. Data were analyzed using SmartPLS software and presented in tables. Internal consistency, composite reliability and convergent validity analyses results are sufficient. The findings showed that most of the LS’s dimensions have positive and significant impact on IEP’s dimensions. However, LSManagerial hasn’t got a significant impact on Self-discipline dimension of IEP. LS’s all dimensions, except Charismatic, also have impact on CP. The other hand IEP’s dimensions have positive and significant impact on CP except Self-discipline.

LİDERLİK TARZLARI VE BİREYSEL GİRİŞİMCİLİK BAĞLAMINDA YARATICILIK PERFORMANSI ÜZERİNE BİR ARAŞTIRMA

Girişimciler bireysel özellikler bakımından liderlere benzerler. Aynı zamanda, yaratıcı performansı yüksek girişimciler başarılı olarak kabul edilir. Bu çalışma liderlik tarzları (LT); demokratik, yönetsel ve karizmatik liderliğin bireysel girişimcilik algısının (BGA) boyutları; planlama, özgüven, iletişim, motivasyon ve öz disiplin üzerindeki etkisini ve BGP’nin boyutlarının da yaratıcılık performansı (YP) üzerindeki etkisini belirlemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu alan çalışmasında, Türkiye'de faaliyette bulunan 286 girişimciden veri toplanmıştır. SmartPLS yazılımı kullanılarak analiz edilen veriler tablolar halinde gösterilmiştir. İç tutarlılık, bileşik güvenilirlik ve yakınsak geçerlilik analiz sonuçları yeterli düzeydedir. Bulgular, LT’nin boyutlarının çoğunun BGP’nin boyutları üzerinde olumlu ve anlamlı bir etkisi olduğunu göstermiştir. Ancak, Yönetsel Liderliğin, BGA'nın Öz disiplin boyutu üzerinde anlamlı bir etkisi bulunmamıştır. Karizmatik liderlik hariç LT’nin tüm boyutlarının YP üzerinde olumlu ve anlamlı etkisi bulunmuştur. Diğer yandan, BGA'nın boyutlarının, Öz disiplin dışında, YP üzerinde olumlu ve anlamlı bir etkisi vardır.
