dc.description.abstract The fundamental objectives of this study are twofold. First, to investigate the influence of employee’s perception of their supervisor transformational leadership on his/her job satisfaction. Second to evaluate a potential mediating role of trust in the leader, in the relationship between transformational leadership and job satisfaction. The study has been undertaken using a sample of 140 public sector employees in Macedonia. Data were collected using self-administered questionnaires. The results obtained from correlation and hierarchical regression analyses have disclosed that transformational leadership positively influences job satisfaction and trust in leader. However, they have failed to evidence the influence of trust in leader on job satisfaction, and thus any mediating role. The outcome of this thesis adds a modest contribution to the literature, but sufficiently to managers and policy makers in the public administration in general, and in the context of Macedonia in particular. Limitations and suggestions are further discussed. Keywords: Transformational leadership, Job satisfaction, Trust in leader, Public sector, Macedonia. en_US
dc.description.abstract ÖZ: Bu çalışmanın iki ana hedefinden birincisi, yöneticilerin dönüştürsel liderlik özelliği hakkında çalışanların oluşturduğu algıların, onların iş memnuniyeti üzerindeki etkisini araştırmak, ikincisi ise, dönüştürsel liderlik ile iş memnuniyeti arasındaki ilişkide ‘lidere olan güven’ faktörünün ne kadar aracı rol oynadığını değerlendirmektir. Çalışmada kullanılan veriler, Makedonya kamu sektörü çalışanları arasından örneklenen 140 kişinin her birinin kendi kendine doldurduğu anketlerle toplanmıştır. Korolasyon ve hiyerarşik regresyon analiz sonuçları göstermiştir ki dönüştürsel liderlik, iş memnuniyetini ve lidere olan güveni olumlu etkilemektedir. Ancak, ‘lidere olan güven’in iş memnuniyetine herhangi bir aracı etkisi görülmemiştir. Bu çalışma, literatüre mütevazi bir katkı yapmakla birlikte, genelde kamu yönetimindeki idareci ve kural koyucular açısından ve özellikle Makedonya bağlamında, yeterli bir katkı koymuştur.
