Abstract
Leadership charisma, has been emphasized in terms of performance improvement by inspiring organization’s values and norms and making employees spend extra effort for oganization’s objectives especially in hospitals and voluntary organizations (Choi, 2006; Etzioni, 1975; Grojean vd., 2004; Pillai ve Meindl, 1998; Shamir vd., 1993; Sims ve Brinkmann, 2002; Yammarino vd., 1993). In previous studies emphasis was usually on the effects of leadership charisma on work performance. Studies in Turkey have not examined the relationship between work performance, leadership charisma, group belonging and engagement of volunteer employees. The aim of this study is to suggest that; for volunteer employees in normative organizations, group belonging and work engagement is more effective than leadership charisma in terms of work performance. In this respect it might be related to discussions that effective leadership which improves employees’ performance and capabilities (Yukl, 2006). This study has taken place in AKUT search and rescue association which operates totally voluntarily in 32 different regions and the findings of hierarchical regression analysis support the hypotheses put forward.
Özet
Liderlik karizması, özellikle hastaneler ve gönüllü kuruluşlarda, kurumun değer ve normlarını aşılamak, çalışanların kurumun hedeflerine yönelik ekstra çaba sarf etmelerini sağlamak kaydıyla performansı arttırmak açısından önemle üzerinde durulan bir konudur (Choi, 2006; Etzioni, 1975; Grojean vd., 2004; Pillai ve Meindl, 1998; Shamir vd., 1993; Sims ve Brinkmann, 2002; Yammarino vd., 1993). Daha önce yapılan araştırmalarda genellikle liderlik karizmasının çalışma performansına etkileri üzerinde durulmuştur. Türkiye’de yapılan çalışmalarda ise tamamen gönüllü çalışan bireylerin çalışma performansı ile liderlik karizması, gruba aidiyet ve adanmışlık kavramları arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmediği görülmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı; özellikle normatif organizasyonlarda, gruba aidiyet ve işe adanmışlık kavramlarının, gönüllü olarak çalışanların çalışma performansı üzerinde liderlik karizmasından daha etkin olduğunu ortaya koymaktır. Bu çalışma, tamamen gönüllü olarak 32 farklı bölgede faaliyet gösteren ve 1500 gönüllüsü bulunan AKUT Arama Kurtarma Derneği’nde yapılmış ve elde edilen verilere yapılan hiyerarşik regresyon analizinin sonuçları, çalışmada yer alan hipotezleri desteklemiştir.
