Otantik liderlik, tükenmişlik ve işe bağlılık arasındaki ilişkide, psikolojik sermayenin aracı rolü: Otomotiv sektöründe bir araştırma

Employees in the health industry perform in a vibrant setting that demands a ceaseless ambition to deliver the most productive, dependable, and high-quality care for the health care consumers. The constant demands require a leadership style that acts as guidance for healthcare workers, leading to positive work outcomes. This dissertation aimed to identify the outcomes of Authentic Leadership in the health industry by focusing on three vital work outcomes: Psychological Capital, Work Engagement and Burnout. Moreover, throughout the dissertation, Psychological Capital is assumed to perform a role in developing the other constructs. Consequently, the first objective of this dissertation was to understand the relationship between Authentic Leadership, Work Engagement and Burnout. The second objective was to investigate the mediating effect of Psychological Capital on the relationship between Authentic Leadership, Work Engagement and Burnout. The data was collected from the public and private healthcare sectors in the Anatolian Side of İstanbul by utilising an online survey to explore the relationship. 371 responses were received and examined in the analyses. The results were analysed through statistical tools: SPSS and AMOS, and statistical methods: reliability and factor analysis, validity tests, regression analysis, and structural equational modelling. The findings showed that Authentic Leadership is a leadership type that directly affects employees' Work Engagement and Burnout levels in the healthcare sector. Moreover, Psychological Capital is positively affected by Authentic Leadership and thus leads to developing positive (work engagement) and reducing negative (Burnout) outcomes.
