Özet:

Organizations need to be able to gain superiority over their competitors and to be stable for a long time in the sector in which they work. There are many factors that influence the performance levels of employees. The interaction with the employers is one of these. With lead-member interaction, both managers and employers can make each other interact and improve their individual performance. Therefore, it is thought that it is beneficial for both the private sector and public organizations to increase lead-member interaction. The purpose of this research is to identify the relationship between the lead-member interaction and the employer performance and to show how the lead-member interaction affects the employer performance. In this context, data have been collected through the survey of the staff of five public institutions operating in the province of Ankara (Ankara Provincial Health Directorate, Ankara Youth and Sports Directorate, Ankara Culture and Tourism Directorate, Ankara Provincial Employment Directorate, Ankara Environment and Urban Development Directorate). The study found that there was a meaningful and positive relationship between lead-member interaction and employer performance.
