Abstract

In this study, it has been investigated whether the perception of job insecurity is affected by the leadership behaviors of the managers to which the employees are connected to the organization, and whether this effect is altered through the locus of control. It was also a matter of curiosity whether leadership styles would be affected by the employee’s perception of power distance. The study includes public and private bank employees living in Antalya, Burdur and Isparta provinces. For this purpose, the data obtained by a survey method from 383 bankers were quantitatively analyzed. Analyses completed with IBM SPSS 23 and AMOS 17. Factor analysis, structural equation modeling were used as methods. As a result of the study, it has been observed that employees’ perception of job insecurity is directly affected by their leadership style and perception of power distance, but the focus of control does not play an mediator role in these relationships.
