Abstract:

The importance of the human factor, which has an indispensable character in the lives of organizations, in today’s conditions is increasing every day. The management understanding that business managers have applied determines the relationship with the institution by influencing the attitude and behavior of employees in the enterprise. The positive or negative direction of this relationship is of great importance in today’s economy where competition is intense. While employees who have established affiliate links and identified employees share their intellectual capital with their organizations, those who cannot provide this affiliate make them silent and routine behavior. In this case, the most important part that will also affect the internal entrepreneurial characteristic of employees is their relationships with the followers of the leader. The relationships of the leader with his astes and the fair or different attitudes he has shown in these relationships are the foundation of this process. The study, which is handled by this thought, aims to explore whether the lead member interaction applied in organizations is a mediation role of positive psychological capital in the organizational identity relationship. The scope of the research is 326 employees in an enterprise that continues to operate in the iron and steel sector. In the study, the data was obtained using the survey technique and was subjected to analyses for the main problem solving of the study. For the scale of the direct and indirect effects between the variables, the correlation and multiple regression analyses, the mediation effect is determined by the Sobel test. According to the results obtained, the lead-member interaction and the positive psychological capital have been found to have a meaningful and positive impact on the organizational identities of employees. It is also concluded that lead-member interaction in relation to organizational identification is a partial instrumental effect of positive psychological capital.
