Liderlik Stilleri ile Örgütsel Sinizm Arasındaki İlişkinin İncelenmesi: Türkiye ve Uluslararası Örneklemler Üzerine Bir Meta-Analiz

Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: This study aims to examine the relationship between leadership styles and organizational cynicism through a meta-analysis approach. Within the scope of the research, a total of 30 empirical studies published between 2005 and 2024 were included in the analysis. The data obtained from these studies were evaluated based on the Pearson correlation coefficient, and the analyses were conducted using the random-effects model. The findings revealed a statistically significant, negative, and moderate relationship between leadership styles and organizational cynicism (r = -0.41, p < 0.001). This result indicates that an increase in positive leadership behaviors is associated with a decrease in organizational cynicism levels among employees. Heterogeneity analysis showed a high level of variability among the studies (I² > 95%), suggesting that the results differ depending on contextual and methodological factors. Moderator analyses indicated that publication type had a significant effect on the relationship, whereas sample type (education vs. other sectors) did not create a significant difference. In addition, publication bias analyses demonstrated that there was no significant publication bias in the included studies. Overall, the findings highlight the critical role of leadership behaviors in shaping employee attitudes and emphasize that constructive leadership approaches, such as ethical, transformational, and authentic leadership, are effective in reducing organizational cynicism. This study contributes to the leadership and organizational behavior literature by providing a comprehensive and systematic evaluation of empirical findings.
