Abstract:

The importance of the concept of leadership is great because it is not only limited to working and organizing, but ultimately sees reflections in society. A possible dark side that occurs in each leader will begin with the lead-working relationship and eventually pursue the negatives in a way that will spread throughout the organization. It is understood that in the dark leadership and under-dimensional studies of the leadership types, the leadership of the subject is understood that the employees see them as a robotic object rather than a social being, and this understanding shapes the behavior of the leaders. This threatens the continuity of the workers in the organization. This threat is not limited to employees, but the dark leadership and sub-dimensional leadership types can become a threat element when organizations can continue to exist. This negative situation on the organizations of leaders makes it inevitable to investigate the dark side of leadership. It is important for the leaders to investigate their dark leadership and subdimensions in terms of the damage they will cause. In this study under the title of dark leadership, the subdimensions of compulsory leadership, narcissistic leadership, paranoid leadership, emotional-dependent leadership, passive-aggressive leadership, small tyrannism, abuse management, poisoning (toxic) leadership, devastating leadership, bad leadership, unethical leadership have been demonstrated by the literary scan method. During the study, dark leadership and subdimensional attitudes and behaviors that they show to the employees and the leaders around them may be harmful in the organization were studied.
