Abstract:

In the research, it is aimed to test the effect of the spiritual leadership behaviors perceived by white-collar employees from their managers on their perceptions of corporate reputation. The data obtained from 236 participants using the quantitative research method were analyzed in the SPSS 22.0 package program. In this context, firstly, the distribution of the demographic characteristics of the participants was examined, explanatory factor analysis was performed to test the validity of the scales used in the research, and reliability analysis was performed to test scale’s reliability. Pearson correlation analysis was conducted to examine the relationship between the research variables, spiritual leadership and corporate reputation. Finally, in order to test the research hypothesis, linear regression was applied to test the effect of spiritual leadership, which is the independent variable of the research, on the dependent variable, corporate reputation. According to the results of the research, there is a significant and positive relationship between the perceived spiritual leadership behaviors and the perceived corporate reputation of white-collar employees. In addition, the perceived spiritual leadership behaviors of white-collar employees enable them to perceive their institutions as more reputable.
