Kişilik, yüzyıllardan beri psikoloji ve sosyoloji gibi birçok disiplinin ilgisini çeken, tanımı, içeriği ve etkileri üzerinde çeşitli tartışmalara sahip bir kavramdır. Tıpkı kişilik gibi, liderlik kavramı da özellikle geçen yüzyılda popüler bir bilimsel konu haline gelmiştir. Liderlik, bir organizasyonda ve/veya bir toplumda diğerleri üzerindeki etkileri ve nesiller arası geçiş gücünden dolayı kişilikten daha etkili ve daha geniş bir kavram olarak düşünülebilir. Hem kuşaklar arasındaki geçiş kapasitesi hem de sosyal yapıları etkileme yeteneği nedeniyle, liderlik kavramını kişilik ve nesil açısından değerlendirmek yararlı olacaktır. Bu çerçevede çalışmamız ülkenin ve dünyanın gelecek elli yılına yön verecek olan Y-Kuşağı bireylerinin kişilik özellikleri ve liderlik algıları arasında ilişki olup olmadığını, üniversite öğrencilerinden oluşan çalışma grubuyla ortaya koymayı hedeflemektedir. Bu amaçla, çalışmanın ölçme araçları Mersin ili sınırları içerisinde bulunan devlet ve özel üniversitelere devam etmekte olan son sınıf öğrencilerine uygulanmıştır. Elde edilen verilerle yapılan analizlerde, özel veya kamu üniversitesi öğrencisi olma durumuna göre dışadönüklük ve sorumluluk kişilik alt boyutlarında istatistiki olarak anlamlı farklılık ortaya çıkarken, aynı değişkenin liderlik uygulamaları alt boyutlarında farklık yaratmadığı görülmüştür. Kişilik ile liderlik özellikleri arasındaki ilişkinin değerlendirmesinde duygusal denge kişilik alt boyutu ile hiçbir liderlik alt boyutu arasında istatistiki bir ilişki olmadığı belirlenmiştir. Sorumluluk kişilik alt boyutunun ise vizyon oluşturma ve risk alma liderlik alt boyutlarıyla ilişkili değilken diğer üç alt boyutla korelasyonu olduğu bulunmuştur. Uyumluluk, dışadönüklük ve deneyime açıklık kişilik özelliklerinin ise tüm kişilik alt boyutlarıyla negatif yönlü ilişkiye sahip oldukları belirlenmiştir.
Personality is a concept, which has been attracted of many disciplines such as psychology and sociology since centuries, which has various discussions on its definition, content and impacts. Similar to personality concept, leadership has begun to be a popular scientific subject especially in the last century. On the other hand, leadership may be thought to be an effective and wider concept than the personality, due to impact on others in an organization and/or a society for generations. Because of both the capacity of transition between generations and the ability to influence social structures, it would be useful to evaluate the concept of leadership in terms of personality and generation. In this framework, our study aims to whether there are relationships or not, between the personality traits and preferences of leadership applications of individuals of Y Generation, who will give direction to the next fifty years of our country and world, with a sample is composed of university students. With that aim, the Quick Great Five Personality Test (QGFPT) and Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI) were applied to the students who were members of Y Generation, in the last degrees of two universities in Mersin (one was private, and another was public university). The analysis of collected data reveals that the status of the attended institution (public or private) made some differences in terms of their personality traits. But, there has been no statistical significances on the preferences of leadership practices. A meaningful relationship was determined among most sub-dimensions of personality traits and LPI. The findings are evaluated in the light of related literature.
