Örgütler ve Çalışanlar Üzerinde Psikolojik Güçlendirme ve Katılımcı Liderliğin Etkilerinin İncelenmesi

Şirketler hangi sektörde olursa olsun sürekli değişen ve gelişen rekabet ortamında sürdürülebilirliklerini sağlayabilmeleri için örgüt yapılarının etkililiğini ve çalışanlarının yenilikçi davranışlarını desteklemeleri gerekmektedir. Şirketlerin yenilikçi faaliyetlerde başarılı olması çalışanların yenilikçi davranışlar içinde olmasına bağlıdır. Çalışanların psikolojik açıdan güçlü olmalarıyla birlikte aynı zamanda düşüncelerini ve fikirlerini paylaşabilecekleri katılımcı bir ortamında sağlanabilmesi gerekmektedir. Bu nedenle şirketler insan kaynaklarını iyi kullanabilmelidirler. Çünkü rekabet de başarılı olabilmenin ölçütlerinden biride rakiplerden farklı yenilikçi ürünleri/hizmetleri bulundukları pazarda sunabilmelerine bağlıdır. Örgütlerin sahip oldukları insan kaynakları, örgütlerin farklılaşabilmesinde en önemli faktörlerden biridir. Dolayısıyla insan kaynakları faktörü birçok örgütsel araştırma alanında temel nokta olmaktadır. İnsan kaynağından en verimli bir şekilde yararlanabilmek, çalışanların motivasyonlarının iyi olmasını sağlayabilmek için çalışanların psikolojik açıdan güçlendirilmeleri ve örgüte katılımlarının sağlanabilmesi gerekmektedir. Araştırmanın amacı kapsamında insanların gıda ihtiyacını karşılamak amacıyla gıda sektöründe yer alan firmalarda çalışmakta olan beyaz yakalı çalışanların psikolojik güçlendirme ve katılımcı liderliğin etkisiyle yenilikçi davranışlarının ve örgütsel etkililiğin ne yönde etkilendiğini analiz etmek amaçlanmıştır. Araştırma kapsamında 2019 yılında İstanbul'da üretim sektöründe faaliyet gösteren gıda firmalarında görev yapan 365 personelden anketler toplandı. Verilerin analizinde IBM SPSS 25 ve AMOS programları kullanılmıştır. Sırasıyla korelasyon analizi, regresyon analizi, Sobel testi ve Hayes process yapılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda hem psikolojik güçlendirmenin hem de katılımcı liderliğin yenilikçi davranışı ve örgütsel etkinliği olumlu etkilediği sonucuna varılmıştır.

Examining Psychological Empowerment and Participative Leadership Effects on Employees and Organizations

Regardless of the sector, companies need to be effective in their organizational structures and support the innovative behavior of their employees in order to ensure their sustainability in a constantly changing and developing competitive environment. The success of companies in innovative activities depends on the innovative behavior of the employees. For this reason, employees should be psychologically strong and at the same time share their thoughts and ideas in a participatory environment. Therefore, companies within the organizational structure should be able to use their human resources well because one of the criteria of being successful in competition depends on the ability to offer innovative products/services different from their competitors in the market where they are located. The human resources department is one of the most important factors in differentiating organizations. In order to benefit from human resources in the most efficient way and to ensure their motivation, it is necessary to psychologically strengthen the employees and ensure their participation within an organization. The aim of the study is to analyze the reactions of white-collar employees who work in food companies that have to make continuous production in order to meet the food needs of people, all while working against the leadership’s attitude in the busy pace of work. Within the scope of the research, surveys were collected from 365 personnel working in food companies in Istanbul operating in the production sector in 2019. Analyzes were made by using IBM SPSS 25 and AMOS. Correlation analysis, regression analysis, Sobel test, and Hayes process were performed respectively in order to examine variables and test hypotheses in the research model. As a result of the research, it was concluded that both psychological empowerment and participative leadership positively affect innovative behavior and organizational effectiveness.
