DÖNÜŞÜMCÜ LİDERLİĞİN AR-GE PERFORMANSINA ETKİSİ: TÜRKİYE SAVUNMA SANAYİ SEKTÖRÜNDE BİR ÇALIŞMA

Liderlik, yönetim alanında her zaman çok önemli bir konu olmuştur. Bu konuda sayısız araştırma yapılmış ve liderlik konusu gün geçtikçe önemini arttırmaktadır. Liderlik ile ilgili çalışmalar gün geçtikçe şekil değiştirmiş ve en yaygın olarak kullanılan kavramlar etkileşimci ve dönüşümcü liderlik kavramları olmuştur. Liderlik, bir grubun üyelerini belirlenen amaçlar doğrultusunda istekli ve heyecanlı bir şekilde gerçekleştirebilmek için ikna edebilme kabiliyeti olduğundan dolayı, liderliğin örgüt performansına etkisi, üzerinde durulan konulardan olmuştur. Bu araştırmada, en yaygın kullanılan liderlik kavramlarından olan dönüşümcü liderlik ile Ar-Ge performansı arasındaki ilişki incelenmiştir. Dönüşümcü liderlik olgusunun varlığının ölçülmesi amacıyla Bass ve Avolio'nun Çok Faktörlü Liderlik Ölçeği kullanılmış olup, Ar-Ge performansının ölçülmesi için Hirst'in 2000 yılında geliştirdiği Ar-Ge performansı modelinden yararlanılarak anket hazırlanmıştır. Anket, Türkiye'nin savunma sanayi sektörünün merkezi olan Ankara'da bulunan çeşitli savunma sanayi şirketlerinde ArGe bölümlerinde yönetici ya da yönetici adayı olarak çalışanlar tarafından doldurulmuştur. Elde edilen verilerin istatistiki analizlerinde SPSS for Windows paket programı kullanılmıştır. Program kullanılarak, ortalama (mean), frekans ve frekans yüzdesi dağılımı, güvenilirlik testi, korelasyon analizi ve regresyon analizinden faydalanılmıştır. Sonrasında anket sorularının veri analizleri yapılarak, sonuçlar değerlendirilmiş ve yorumlanmıştır
