Examination of the Effects of Authoritarian Leadership on Employees in Production Sector

Rapid changes and competitive environment of today's business world cause accelerated implementation of management approaches focused on the employee performances, which affect the attitudes and behaviours of the employees within the organizational structure. The researchers theoretically define the link between personality and work performance and argue that expressions of basic tendencies (i.e. personality traits) represent particular characteristics which directly affect the performance. One of the most important reasons why companies fall back from their competitors in the sector and/or market is the fact that the procedures they determine about process management are not performed correctly by employees or there are problems arising from human resources management. It appears that when the leaders cannot empathize with others, they tend to create an emotionally independent and interpersonal pragmatic style. Therefore, in this study, the relationship between the variables of authoritarian leadership and employees’ tendency to violate rules and work participation has been examined and the effect of strategic human resource management (SHRM) on these variables as an mediation variable has been discussed. The survey of this study was conducted on the 350 white-collar employees of 5 high-performance companies in the production sector in Turkey. The data obtained from the questionnaires were analysed with SPSS 25 statistical software. Firstly, the factor analysis was conducted to check whether the scales represented the variables and then the reliability analysis was performed. Correlation analysis was used to analyze the effects of the relationships between variables and regression analysis was used to test hypotheses. As a result, it was determined that the authoritarian leadership had an effect on the rule violation tendencies of the employees and decreased the level of work participation. It has also been revealed that the mediation variable effect of strategic human resource management increase the level of work participation and decrease the level of rule violation.

Otoriter Liderliğin Üretim Sektöründe Bulunan Çalışanlar Üzerindeki Etkisinin İncelenmesi

Yönetim anlayışında meydana gelen yeni değişim ve gelişimler, rekabet ortamında kurumların çalışan odaklı örgüt yapılarına dönüşümlerinde en önemli faktörlerden biri olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Çalışan odaklı yönetim anlayışı sayesinde, çalışanların performanslarında olumlu yönde gelişmeler olabilmektedir. Araştırmacılar, Kişilik ve iş performansı arasındaki bağlantıyı teorik olarak tanımlarken, temel eğilimlerdeki (ör. Kişilik özelliklerinin) ifadeleri karakteristik uyarlamalar olarak gördüklerini ve bu adaptasyonların performansı doğrudan etkilediğini savunmaktadırlar. Kurumların bulundukları sektörde ve/veya pazarda rakiplerden geriye düşmelerinin en önemli sebeplerden biri, süreç yönetimiyle ilgili belirledikleri prosedürlerin işgörenler tarafından doğru olarak yapılmadığı ya da insan kaynakları yönetiminden kaynaklı problemlerin olduğu gerçeği bulunmaktadır. Sürdürülebilirlilik açısından, rakiplerin karşısında başarılı olmak için kurumların insan kaynakları yönetmi anlayışına önem vermesi gerekmektedir. Özellikle işini bilen çalışanlarla, yaptığı işi tam olarak yerine getiremeyen çalışanların rekabet yarışında kurumları dezavantajlı bir konuma getirmektedirler. Burada devreye lider-çalışan arasındaki iletişimin derecesi girmektedir. Liderler, başkaları ile empati kuramadıklarında, duygusal açıdan birbirlerinden bağımsız ve kişilerarası pragmatik bir stil oluşturmaya eğilimli oldukları ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bu nedenle, Çalışmada, Otoriter liderliğin, iş görenlerin kural çiğneme ve işe katılım değişkenleriyle ilişkisi ve stratejik insan kaynakları yönetiminin (SİKY) bu değişkenlere ara değişken etkisi açısından önemine değinilmektedir. Araştırma modeli kapsamında incelenen değişkenlerin analiz edilmesi amacıyla üretim sektöründe faaliyet gösteren firmalarda çalışan 350 beyaz yakalıdan anketler toplanmıştır. Anketlerde belirtilen değişkenleri temsil eden ölçeklerin analiz edilmesinde SPSS 25 programı kullanılmıştır. Öncelikle faktör analizi yapılarak ölçeklerin değişkenleri temsil edip etmediği kontrol edildikten sonra güvenirlilik analizi yapılmıştır. Değişkenler arasındaki ilişkilerin birebir etkilerinin analiz edilmesinde korelasyon analizi, hipotezlerin test edilmesinde regresyon analizi yapılmıştır. Analizler sonucunda, çalışanların yönetim tarafından belirlenen kuralları çiğnemesinde otoriter liderliğin etkili olduğu ve çalışanları iş’den soğutan bir liderlik tarzı olduğu açıklanabilmektedir. Kural çiğnemenin ortadan kalktığı ve iş’e katılım seviyesinin yükselmesinde stratejik insan kaynakları yönetiminin önemi analizler sonucunda ortaya çıkmaktadır.
