The Effect of Resonant Leadership on Happiness at Workplace

Abstract

The aim of the research is to determine the existence, direction and level of the relationship between resonant leadership and happiness at workplace. The relationship between resonant leadership and happiness at work has been examined for the first time in this study in a national and international context. Simple linear regression analysis, ANOVA, descriptive statistics, second level confirmatory factor analysis, independent samples t-test and Pearson correlation analysis were applied to analyze the data obtained using the questionnaire. The results of the analysis revealed that there were significant differences among the participants in different groups according to their demographic characteristics. As a result of the regression analysis, it was determined that resonant leadership was a significant predictor of all sub-dimensions of happiness at work at the p <.05 level. Correlation analysis showed that there is a significant relationship at p<.01 level between resonant leadership and all sub-dimensions of happiness at work separately. Organizations that evaluate the importance of leadership types during the strategic plan creation phase and scientists who carry out supportive or developmental studies on the relevant subject are expected to benefit from the outputs.
