Kadınlarda Liderlik Kalitesinin Belirleyicisi Olarak Sosyo-Kültürel Faktörler; İnsan Kaynakları Gelişimine Yönelik Etkiler
Bu çalışma örgütlerde erkek ve kadın liderlerin örgütsel etkinliği arttırabilecek olan liderlik kalitesini etkileyen sosyokültürel faktörleri araştırmakta olup çalışmada betimleyici analiz yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Amaca yönelik bir şekilde seçilen 5 örgütün her birinden 30 çalışan olmak üzere 150 kişi örneklem grubu olarak belirlenmiştir. 150 kişiye uygulanan anketlerden tam olarak doldurulmuş 145 tanesi analize tabi tutulmuştur. Veri toplama aracı olarak kullanılan anketin başlığı : “Sosyo-Kültürel Faktörler ve Cinsiyet Liderlik Kalitesi Ölçeği”dir. Toplanan veriler toplam skorlar, frekanslar ve yüzdeler gibi betimleyici istatistiksel teknikler kullanılarak analiz edilmiş ve yorumlanmıştır. Hipotezler 0,05 hata düzeyinde ki-kare analizi ile test edilmiştir. Bulgulara gore anne olan çalışanların içgüdüsü örgütsel etkililiği arttırmakta ve kadın liderlerin personel odaklı olması örgütsel performansı pozitif olarak etkilemektedir. Aynı zamanda çalışanların iş performansı erkek liderlerden de önemli derecede etkilenmektedir. Bu durum bir toplumun kültürünün alt dallarından birisi olabilen doğru liderlik kalitesinin örgütsel etkinliği arttırdığını, sosyo-kültürel faktörlerin liderlik kalitesi ve dolayısıyla örgütsel etkinlik üzerinde önemli bir rol oynadığını göstermektedir. Çalışma ortamında iyi liderlik uygulamalarını önleyebilen sosyo-kültürel inançların, iyi bir liderlik eğitimi ve bütünsel olarak tutumları değiştirme ile etkisinin azaltılması önerilmektedir, böylece etkin bir örgütsel performans için kadın ve erkek liderler işyerinde daha iyi ilişkileri arttırmak üzere maksimum performans göstermeye çalışacaklardır

Socio-Cultural Factor As Determinant of Female Leadership Quality; Implications for Human Resource Development
This study investigates the influence of socio-cultural factors on the leadership quality of male and female leaders in work organisations that could enhance organisational effectiveness. A descriptive survey research design method was adopted for the study. One hundred and fifty respondents from five purposefully selected work organisations were selected for the study, thirty randomly selected respondents from each workplace. 145 well filled questionnaires out of the 150 were used for data analysis. The questionnaire used as the instrument for data collection was titled: ‘Socio-Cultural Factors and Gender Leadership Quality Scale’ (SOCFGLQS). Collected data were analysed and interpreted accordingly with the aid of descriptive statistical techniques such as total scores, frequencies and percentages. The hypotheses were tested using chi-square method of data analysis at 0.05 alpha levels. Findings reveal that female mother’s instinct promotes organisational effectiveness and that female leader’s staffcenteredness positively affects organisational performance. Also, employees’ job performance is significantly influenced by male headship. This shows that right leadership quality which could be an off-shoot of society’s culture could promote organisational effectiveness, and socio-cultural factors play great role in the quality of the leader and by extension the effectiveness of the organisation. It is recommended that the socio-cultural beliefs and practices that inhibit good leadership in workplace should be discarded and with good leadership training and holistic re-orientation, male and female leaders would perform maximally to enhance better relationship in the workplace for effective organisation performance
