Abstract

This study aims to explore the psychological capital factors which may affect self-leadership skills. To this aim, the effects of four sub-constructs of psychological capital (hope, optimism, resilience, self-efficacy) on eight sub-constructs of self-leadership (self-goal setting & visualizing successful performance, focusing thoughts on natural rewards, selfobservation, self-reward, self-punishment, self-cuing, self-talk, evaluating beliefs and assumptions) have been investigated. The research data were obtained from 227 state officials in Ankara through questionnaires and convenience sampling. For the data analysis and model test, the structural equation modeling was utilized. The research findings indicate that different selfleadership behaviors are affected by different psychological factors, particularly hope and optimism. On the other hand, the findings reveal that self-cueing is influenced by each psychological factor except for hope. The results also show that none of the psychological sub-constructs has an effect on self-reward or self-punishment. Within this context, employees’ psychological capital has been found to have a partial impact on their self-leadership skills

Özet

Bu çalışmada çalışanların öz-liderlik becerilerine etki eden psikolojik sermaye faktörlerinin ortaya çıkarılması hedeflenmiştir. Bu amaçla psikolojik sermayenin dört alt boyutunun (umut, iyimserlik, psikolojik dayanıklılık, öz-yeterlilik), özliderlik değişkeninin sekiz alt boyutu (kendine hedef belirleyerek başarılı performans hayal etme, doğal ödüller üzerinde düşünceyi odaklama, kendini gözlemleme, kendini ödüllendirme, kendini cezalandırma, kendine hatırlatıcılar belirleme, kendi kendine konuşma, düşünce ve fikirlerini değerlendirme) üzerindeki etkileri araştırılmıştır. Anket tekniğinin kullanıldığı araştırmada kolayda örnekleme yöntemiyle, Ankara ilinde çalışan 227 kamu çalışanından veri toplanmış, veri analizi ve model testi için yapısal eşitlik modellemesi yaklaşımından faydalanılmıştır. Çalışma sonucu elde edilen bulgulara göre, farklı öz-liderlik davranışları farklı psikolojik sermaye faktörlerinden, özellikle umut ve iyimserlik alt boyutundan, etkilenmektedir. Diğer taraftan umut hariç diğer üç psikolojik sermaye faktörüyle etkileşim içinde olan tek değişkenin kendine hatırlatıcılar belirleme davranışı olduğu; kendini ödüllendirme ve kendini cezalandırma davranışları üzerinde ise psikolojik sermaye yapısının herhangi bir alt boyutunun etkili olmadığı saptanmıştır. Bu çerçevede çalışanların psikolojik sermayesinin öz-liderlik becerileri üzerinde kısmi etki yarattığı belirlenmiştir
