Öz

Bu araştırma, Türkiye sigorta sektöründe çalışanların sorumlu liderlik algıları ile duygusal zekâ, motivasyon, iş stresi ve performans arasındaki ilişkileri incelemektedir. Çalışmada nicel ve nitel veri toplama tekniklerinin birlikte kullanıldığı "sıralı açıklayıcı karma desen" tercih edilmiştir. Araştırmanın nicel aşamasında, G*Power analizi ile belirlenen minimum sayının üzerine çıkılarak 299 katılımcıdan anket yoluyla veri toplanmıştır. Nitel aşamada ise nicel bulguları derinlemesine açıklamak amacıyla 10 katılımcı ile yarı yapılandırılmış mülakatlar gerçekleştirilmiştir. Nicel bulgular, sorumlu liderliğin çalışan performansını ve duygusal zekâyı anlamlı ölçüde artırdığını; duygusal zekânın ise bu ilişkide kısmi aracı rol oynadığını ortaya koymuştur. Buna karşılık motivasyonun aracılık etkisi istatistiksel olarak doğrulanmamıştır. Nitel bulgular, çalışanların adil ve şeffaf liderleri daha güvenilir bulduğunu vurgulayarak nicel sonuçları desteklemiştir. Bulgular, sigorta sektöründe etik değerlere dayalı liderlik yaklaşımlarının sürdürülebilir performans ve bağlılık için kritik öneme sahip olduğunu göstermektedir.
