Günümüz rekabet ortamında liderlik tarzlarının ve çalışanların tutum ve davranışları şirketlerin performansı açısından fazlasıyla önemli hale gelmiştir. Şirketlerin bulundukları sektörde başarılı olabilmeleri için nasıl yönetildikleri birçok araştırmaya konu olmaktadır. Özellikle çalışanların örgüt içinde yaşadıkları psikolojik etkenler, olumlu yada olumsuz yönde etki etmektedir. Bu olumlu yada olumsuz yöndeki etkiler genellikle çalışanların ve örgütün performansında ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı da üretim sektöründe çalışan mühendisler üzerinde ahlaki liderlik, yaratıcılık, etkili iletişim, duygusal tükenme ve içsel motivasyon değişkenleri arasındaki ilişkilerin analiz edilmesidir. Çalışmada analizler sonucunda, duygusal tükenmenin çalışanlar üzerinde negatif etkisinin olduğu, içsel motivasyonun ise olumlu yönde etkisinin olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır. Araştırma İstanbulda üretim sektöründe bulunan beyaz eşya üretimi yapan firmalarda çalışmakta olan 427 beyaz yakalı çalışandan anketler toplanarak yapılmıştır. Verilerin analiz edilmesinde SPSS 25 programı kullanılmıştır. Araştırma da sorular likert ölçeğinde sorulduğu için öncelikle faktör ve güvenirlilik analizi yapıltıktan sonra korelasyon analizi, regresyon analizi ve aracı değişken etkisinin analizinde sobel testi ve hayes process yapılmıştır.
