dc.description.abstract With regard to the ongoing socio-economic hardship in Ukraine, among the many difficulties faced there is also a problem of effective leadership. Many organizational leaders are acting as managers only and are not able to demonstrate the transformational vision necessary for effective leadership. One of the outcomes of ineffective leadership is a critical lack of trust in leaders, which affects not only job satisfaction, but also overall satisfaction among the population. These make the topic of leadership and trust important issues that should be investigated. The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of transactional, transformational and passive-avoidant leadership styles on employee’s job satisfaction. The study also uses the trust in leader as a mediator of the relationship between leadership style and job satisfaction. Ukrainian Railways has been chosen as a case study due to its representative role as a Ukrainian institution with problems such as ineffective usage of personnel management methods, distrust in certain situations to the company’s management and insufficient level of job satisfaction. In order to conduct the research, 845 employees have been surveyed to obtain more extensive results and determine the exact causes of the problems of interest. In the leadership literature, leadership styles and trust in leader, as well as trust in leader and job satisfaction, have been studied. However, the direct relationships and indirect relationships between leadership behaviors and job satisfaction have not iv been studied as extensively as the other relationships. The study contributes to this gap in the literature, as well as provides substantial assistance for company executives to achieve desired results. Keywords: transactional leadership; transformational leadership; passive-avoidant leadership; trust in leader; job satisfaction. en_US
dc.description.abstract ÖZ : Ukrayna’da yaşanmakta olan sosyal ve ekonomik sorunlar kapsamında etkin liderlik sorunu da sıralanabilir. Bir çok kurum lideri sadece yönetici rolünü yerine getirmekte ve etkin liderlik için gerekli olan dönüştürücü vizyonu ortaya koyamamaktadır. Etkin liderliğin olmadığı durumlarda liderliğe olan güven ortadan kalkmaktadır ve bu da kurumlarda iş tatmininin yanında toplumsal tatminin de erimesine yol açmaktadır. Tüm bunlar liderlik ve güven konularının incelenmesinin önemini vurgulamaktadır. Mevcut çalışmanın amacı dönüştürücü, etkileşimsel ve pasif liderlik tarzlarının çalışanların iş tatmini ile ilişkisini incelemek ve lidere olan güvenin bu ilişkiyi nasıl etkilediğini araştırmaktır. Ukrayna Demiryolları personel yönetimi metotlarının etkin kullanılamadığı, yönetime güven eksikliği, ve düşük iş tatmini olan örnek bir Ukrayna kurumu olarak incelenmiştir. Araştırma kapsamında 845 çalışandan anket formları toplanmıştır. Liderlik literatüründe liderlik tarzı ve lidere güven arasındaki ilişki incelenmiş bunun yanında lidere güven ile iş tatmini de incelenmiştir. Ancak liderlik tarzı ile iş tatmini arasında doğrudan ve dolaylı ilişkiler yeterince incelenmemiştir. Bu çalışma literatürde bu boşluğu doldurarak yöneticilere daha etkin liderlik için öneriler getirmektedir. Anahtar kelimeler: dönüştürücü liderlik, etkileşimsel liderlik, pasif liderlik, lidere güven, iş tatmini en_US
