Didem YıldızF. Tunç Bozbura

Bu çalışma lider-üye etkileşiminin kariyer sermayesi üzerindeki ilişkisini incelemektedir. Çalışmada lider-üye etkileşiminin boyutları olan etki, vefakarlık, katkı ve profesyonel saygının kariyer sermayesi üzerindeki etkisinin ayrı ayrı incelenmesi amaçlanmış ve bu ilişkiler ile ilgili uygun hipotezler geliştirilmiştir. Araştırma kapsamında farklı örgütlerde ve çeşitli pozisyonlarda çalışan kişilere anket uygulanmış ve toplam 426 adet veriye ulaşılmıştır. Veriler regresyon analizi ile test edilmiştir. Regresyon analizi sonuçlarına göre lider-üye etkileşiminin kariyer sermayesini anlamlı bir şekilde etkilediği görülmüştür. Ayrıca lider-üye etkileşiminin dört alt faktörü olan etki, vefakarlık, katkı ve profesyonel saygının da kariyer sermayesini etkilediği görülmüştür ancak bu etkinin vefakarlık, katkı ve profesyonel saygı boyutlarında oldukça düşük olduğu gözlemlenmiştir. Bu neden ile analiz daha da geliştirilmiş ve Doğrulayıcı Faktör Analizi ve Model Analizi yapılmıştır. Bu analiz sonucunda lider-üye etkileşiminin kariyer sermayesini anlamlı bir şekilde etkilediği ancak dört alt faktörden sadece etki faktörünün lider-üye etkileşiminde kariyer sermayesini anlamlı bir şekilde etkileyen faktör olduğu gözlemlenmiştir.
