Abstract:

This research was conducted with the aim of exploring the mediation role of psychological strengthening in the influence of serviced leadership on organizational commitment. The sample of the study consists of 222 health workers working in a private hospital operating in the province of Istanbul. The survey was used as a data collection tool. The data analysis is based on the IBM SPSS 25.0 program. The study of the relationship between the variables used the Pearson Correlation Analysis and the Simple Real Regression Analysis. In the analysis of the mediation test, the application Process Makro v3.4 developed by Hayes (2018) used the IBM SPSS program. The participants' serviced leadership perception score average is 3,70±0,87, the organizational commitment score average is 3,04±0,54, the psychological strengthening score average is 3,95±0,65. The analysis found that serviced leadership had a positive impact on psychological strengthening and organizational commitment. Furthermore, according to the results of the regression analysis, it has been determined that psychological strengthening has a positive and meaningful effect on organizational commitment. However, it has been found that the influence of serviced leadership on organizational commitment does not have the mediation effect of psychological strengthening. In Turkey, no other study has been found to investigate the instrumental effect of psychological strengthening on the influence of servant leadership on organizational commitment. This is why it is thought to be appropriate to do new research in the health sector.
