Editorial The Bright and Dark Sides of Work Life" Tpd Work and Organizational Psychology Special Issue(Turkish Psychologists Assoc, 2019) Sumer, H. Canan; Goncu-Kose, Asli; Toker, Yonca; Ok, A. Basak; Gokalp, Aysu; Mete, Ipek; Demircioglu, Zeynep IsilArticle Citation - WoS: 3The Relationship Among Leadership Style, Sex of Leader, and Sex of Evaluator in the Evaluation of Leadership Behavior(Turkish Psychologists Assoc, 2011) Ugurlu, Ozanser; Uğurlu, Ozanser; Hovardaoglu, Selim; PsikolojiThe purpose of the article was to investigate the relationships among leadership style, sex of leader, and sex of evaluator in the evaluation of leadership behavior in a student sample from Turkey. In order to reach the goal, leadership style and sex of leader were manipulated to prepare four vignettes as autocratic female leader, democrat female leader, autocratic male leader, and democrat male leader. The participants were 386 university students from Middle East Technical University (199 males and 187 females; M=21.74; SD=1.56). After reading one of the vignettes, the participants evaluated the leader by filling out the Evaluation of Leadership Behavior Scale. A 2 (sex of leader: female - male) X 2 (leadership style: autocratic - democrat) X 2 (sex of evaluator: female - male) ANOVA was performed on the evaluation of leadership behavior. Results demonstrated that there was a significant main effect of leadership style. As expected, participants evaluated democratic leader more positively than autocratic leader. In addition, there was a significant two-way interaction between leadership style and sex of evaluator, suggesting that male participants evaluated democratic leader less positively than female participants and that male participants evaluated autocratic leader more positively than female participants. Finally, there was a significant three-way interaction. Both male and female participants evaluated autocratic female leader more negatively than democratic female leader. Further, as compared to male participants, female participants evaluated both democratic male leader and democratic female leader more positively.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 3Bullying as a Group Process: Investigation of Participant Roles in Terms of Social Status and Gender(Turkish Psychologists Assoc, 2015) Topcu, Aysun Ergul; Donmez, AliThis study mainly aims to test the participant roles approach on Turkish sample suggesting that bullying is a group process. In this regard, students' ways of involving in bullying and the extent to which children are aware of their participant roles and whether these participant roles differentiate in terms of gender and social status was investigated. A total of 774 students (384 females and 390 males), from 6(th), 7(th) and 8(th) grades of 11 different primary schools in Ankara participated in the study. The results showed that 74% of all children involved in one of the participant roles as bully (11.5%), assistant-reinforcer (10.9%), defender (21.1%), outsider (20.9%) and victim (9.7%). The examinations of the relations between self-reported and peer-reported scores of participant roles revealed that children were aware of their roles in the bullying situations, however, they significantly underestimated their roles in bully and assistant-reinforcer scales while overestimated their roles in the defender and outsider scales. Boys are more actively involved in bullying process than girls; boys participated most frequently in the roles of bully, assistant-reinforcer and victim while girls participated most frequently in the defender and outsider roles. In terms of the findings related to social status, victims were the least accepted and most rejected group among their peers although they did not differentiate from bullies and assistant-reinforcer in this sense. Besides, the victims wereArticle Citation - WoS: 2Which Leader Makes Us Stay and How? the Mediating Role of Multidimensional Work Motivation(Turkish Psychologists Assoc, 2019) Goncu-Kose, Asli; Metin, U. BaranSupervisors' leadership styles are among the most important variables that influence employees' work motivation. However, in Turkey, only a limited number of studies examined the effects of leadership styles on employee motivations and on distal work-related outcomes via their influences on these motivations. The present study aimed to examine the links of paternalistic and transformational leadership with employees' work motivations by using a valid and reliable work motivation measure and to test the mediating roles of motivations in the relationships between leadership styles and employees' turnover intentions. In Study 1, data were collected from 456 employees and the Multidimensional Work Motivation Scale (MWMS; Gagne et al., 2014), which was developed within the framework of Self-Determination Theory (Deci & Ryan, 1985), was adapted to Turkish. In Study 2, data were collected from 388 employees and the proposed model was tested using structural equation modeling. Study 1 revealed that the factor structure and the predictive validity results of the adapted MWMS were consistent with those of its versions in other languages. Study 2 showed that both leadership styles were associated with motivation dimensions in the proposed directions; however, motivations partially mediated only the link between transformational leadership and turnover intentions.
