Özet:

Purpose - This study aims to develop a valid and reliable scale with the qualities to measure the practices of paradoxal leadership behavior at the national scale, explaining the paradoxal leadership behavior, which is a relatively new concept. Method - Research is a quantum research. The data was obtained from 424 participants working in four and five-star hotel companies operating in Ankara and Bursa province. In addition to detective statistical analyses, the Detective Factor Analysis (KFA) for the structural validity of the scale and the Verifiant Factor Analysis for internal consistency analyses for the whole and lower dimensions of the scale, the total correlation value of the substance and the Cronbach Alpha reliability test were used. Results - According to the analysis results, a five-dimensional structure consisting of eighteen expressions provided validity and reliability has been obtained. These dimensions are defined as the size of equal behavior (pld1), the size of associating self-centralism with others-centralism (pld2), the size of holding control of decision-making while allowing autonomy (pld3), the size of allowing flexibility while also the size of implementing business requirements (pld4), the size of being able to maintain distance and close to employees (pld5). Discussions - A new concept of national literature leadership has been gained within the framework of the research. The results of the analysis show that the paradoxical leadership behavior scale is a scale of validity and reliability.
