Farklılık İkliminin Psikolojik Sermaye Üzerindeki Etkisinde Etik Liderlik ve Psikolojik Güvenliğin Rolü

Amaç – Bu araştırma çalışanların farklılık iklimi algısının pozitif psikolojik sermaye üzerindeki etkisinde psikolojik güvenlik ve etik liderliğin aracılık rollerini incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Yöntem – Bankacılık sektörü çalışanlarından oluşan 1000 kişilik bir örneklemden anket yoluyla toplanan veriler SPSS 23 Amos ve Lisrel 8.80 programları kullanılarak hiyerarşik regresyon analiziyle incelenmiştir. Bulgular – Psikolojik sermayenin farklılık iklimi üzerindeki pozitif ve anlamlı etkisinde etik liderlik davranışları ile psikolojik güvenliğin kısmi olarak aracılık ettiği bulgularına ulaşılmıştır. Ayrıca farklılık ikliminin umut ve öz- yeterlilik alt boyutları üzerindeki etkisinde de etik liderliğin ve psikolojik güvenliğin aracılık rolü bulunmaktadır. Bu ilişkilerde etik liderlik davranışlarının aracılık etkisi psikolojik güvenliğe kıyasla daha yüksektir. Tartışma – Araştırma bulguları çalışanların farklılık iklimi algıları ile pozitif psikolojik sermaye düzeyleri arasında olumlu yönde bir ilişki bulunduğunu ve bu ilişkide etik liderlik davranışları ile psikolojik güvenlik ikliminin aracılık rolleri olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu bağlamda bankacılık sektörü yöneticilerine yönelik öneriler geliştirilmiştir. Ayrıca çalışma literatürde farklılık iklimi kavramına ilişkin oldukça sınırlı sayıda araştırma bulunması sebebiyle literatüre katkı sağlamaktadır.
