A Study on the Impact of Agile Leadership and Innovative Behaviors on Psychological Empowerment

Abstract

This study focuses on the impact of agile leadership and innovative behaviours on psychological empowerment and its dimensions via a questionnaire form based on the "Agile Leadership Scale", "Innovative Behaviours Scale", and "Psychological Empowerment Scale". The study sample comprises 410 people in the Turkish information and communication industry. The data obtained were analysed with SPSS 21.0 with %95 credibility. Parametric test techniques were used, and the relationship between the scale scores was analysed by Pearson correlation, and regression analysis was used to analyse its effect. The analysis showed that agile leadership and innovative behaviours affect psychological empowerment and the dimensions of competence, autonomy and impact. However, no effect on the meaning dimension can be found. The study highlights the importance of agile leadership and innovative behaviour in encouraging psychological empowerment. The conclusion emphasises that agile improvement is essential to success and how to boost innovative behaviour and psychological empowerment in business. Organisations should take action to improve agile leaders, encourage innovative behaviour and boost psychological empowerment among employees. One of the limitations of the study is that it was conducted in only one sector. The results can be compared by conducting research in different sectors. Further studies can be carried out at regular intervals to obtain more comprehensive findings. In the study, 410 samples were reached. By reaching a larger sample, the results can be compared. New models can be created with different variables that affect psychological empowerment. In addition, different quantitative and qualitative methods can be used.
