Özet:

 The rate of turnover in the healthcare sector, as in many other industries, is a crucial problem. Job embeddedness is one of the most important elements in reducing turnover and keeping employees in their jobs. Known about the antecedents of the concept of job embeddedness is not much. Many studies have revealed that leadership styles have a substantial impact on followers behavior. The number of studies examining the relationship between leadership behavior and job embeddedness, on the other hand, is limited. From this viewpoint, the purpose of this study is determined to analyze the impact of a managers authentic leadership behavior on the level of job embeddedness of employees in the healthcare sector. In this study, the effect of authentic leadership behavior on the dimensions of fit, sacrifice, and clinks, which constitute job embeddedness, was analyzed. A questionnaire was used to collect data from 240 healthcare employees in Mersin. According to the findings,authentic leadership behavior has a positive effect on the fit dimension. In addition, authentic leadership behavior also has an positive effect on the sacrifice dimension. However, contrary to opinion, authentic leadership behavior seemed to have no effect on the links. It is expected that the research will contribute to the studies that determine the antecedents of the concept of job embeddedness. Furthermore, it is hoped to contribute to the limited number of studies that investigate authentic leadership behavior and job embeddedness at the same time, and thus direct future studies.

 Pek çok sektörde olduğu gibi sağlık sektöründe işten ayrılma oranı önemli bir sorun teşkil etmektedir. İş devir hızını azaltan, çalışanların işlerinde kalmalarını sağlayan en önemli unsurlardan birinin işe gömülmüşlük olduğu söylenebilir. İşe gömülmüşlük kavramının öncülleri hakkında çok az şey bilinmektedir. Liderlik tarzlarının takipçilerin davranışları üzerinde önemli bir etkiye sahip olduğunu ortaya koyan pek çok çalışma mevcuttur. Ancak liderlik davranışı ile işe gömülmüşlük arasındaki ilişkiyi inceleyen araştırma sayısının sınırlı olduğu söylenebilir. Buradan hareketle bu araştırmanın amacı sağlık sektöründe yöneticinin otantik liderlik davranışının çalışanlarının işe gömülmüşlük düzeyleri üzerindeki etkisini ortaya koymak olarak belirlenmiştir. Araştırmada otantik liderlik davranışının çalışanların işe gömülmüşlüğünü oluşturan uyum, fedakârlık ve bağlantılar boyutları üzerindeki etkisi analiz edilmiştir. Bu amaçla Mersin ilinde faaliyet gösteren 240 sağlık çalışanından anket formu aracılığı ile veri toplanmıştır. Veri çözümlenmesinde SPSS programı ve AMOS kullanılmıştır. Analiz sonuçları otantik liderlik davranışının işe gömülmüşlük boyutlarından uyum boyutu üzerinde olumlu bir etkisi olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Bununla birlikte otantik liderlik davranışının işe gömülmüşlük boyutlarından fedakârlık boyutu üzerinde de bir etkisi bulunmaktadır. Ancak düşünülenin aksine otantik liderlik davranışının işe gömülmüşlük boyutlarından bağlantılar boyutu üzerinde de herhangi bir etkisi tespit edilememiştir. Araştırmanın işe gömülmüşlük kavramının öncüllerini belirleyen çalışmalara bir katkı sağlaması beklenmektedir. Bunun yanı sıra otantik liderlik davranışı ile işe gömülmüşlüğü aynı anda inceleyen sınırlı sayıda araştırmaya sağlık sektörü perspektifinden katkı sağlaması ve bu sayede diğer araştırmalara yol gösterici nitelikte olması hedeflenmektedir.
