The Effect Of Leadership Behaviors On Jobsatisfaction: A Research On Four And Fivestars Hotels Employees In Alanya

Bu çalışmada konaklama işletmelerinde çalışan personelin iş tatmin düzeylerinin yöneticilerin sergiledikleri liderlik özelliklerinden nasıl etkilendiği araştırılmıştır. Bu amaçla Alanya'da faaliyet gösteren 4 ve 5 yıldızlı konaklama işletmelerinin personeli ile 400 adet anket uygulaması gerçekleştirilmiş, 370 adedi analizlerde kullanılmıştır. Yöneticilerin liderlik özelliklerinin ve çalışanların iş tatminini ölçen 40 değişkenden az sayıda ve tanımlanabilir nitelikte değişkenler elde etmek amacıyla yapılan faktör analizi sonucunda 4 boyut elde edilmiştir. Bunlar; "vizyoner liderlik", etkileşimci liderlik", "dönüşümcü liderlik" ve "iş tatmini" olarak adlandırılmıştır. Korelasyon analizi neticesinde çalışanların vizyoner ve dönüşümcü liderlik algılarının yüksek olduğu durumda iş tatmin seviyelerinin de yüksek olduğu görülmüştür. Ancak, olumsuz özellikleri ön planda olan bir etkileşimci liderin, çalışanların iş tatminini düşürdüğü saptanmıştır. Regresyon analizi sonuçlarına göre ise çalışanların iş tatminini etkileyen en önemli liderlik özelliğinin etkileşimci liderlik olduğu, onu vizyoner liderlik ve dönüşümcü liderliğin takip ettiği belirlenmiştir. Üç liderlik boyutunun da yer aldığı regresyon modelinin istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı olduğu tespit edilmiş ve çalışanların iş tatmini üzerinde %58'lik bir etkiye sahip olduğu belirlenmiştir.In this study, the levels of job satisfaction of personnel working in hospitality enterprises how affected leadership characteristics that the managers exhibit are investigated.

The cost of care of rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis patients in tertiary care rheumatology units in Turkey

Objectives: To determine the direct and indirect costs due to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients in Turkey. Methods: An expert panel was convened to estimate the direct and indirect costs of care of patients with RA and AS in Turkey. The panel was composed of 22 experts chosen from all national tertiary care rheumatology units (n=53). To calculate direct costs, the medical management of RA and AS patients was estimated using "cost-of-illness" methodology. To measure indirect costs, the number of days of sick leave, the extent of disability, and the levels of early retirement and early death were also evaluated. Lost productivity costs were calculated using the "human capital approach", based on the minimum wage. Results: The total annual direct costs were 2,917.03 Euros per RA patient and 3,565.9 Euros for each AS patient. The direct costs were thus substantial, but the indirect costs were much higher because of extensive morbidity and mortality rates. The total annual indirect costs were 7,058.99 Euros per RA patient and 6,989.81 for each AS patient. Thus, the total cost for each RA patient was 9,976.01 Euros and that for an AS patient 10,555.72 Euros, in Turkey. Conclusion: From the societal perspective, both RA and AS have become burden in Turkey. The cost of lost productivity is higher than the medical cost. Another important conclusion is that indirect costs constitute 70% and 66% of total costs in patients with RA and AS, respectively.Abbott Compan
