Abstract
The purpose of the study is to examine the relationship between paternalism, delegation collective organizational engagement and performance. The performance concept in this study consists of individual and organizational performance. Using quantitative analysis methods a study is conducted on the North Marmara Region of Turkey with a sample of 175 employees in different sectors. The result of the study show that there is a positive correlation between paternalism, delegation, collective organizational engagement, individual and organizational performance. Findings also show that paternalism and delegation has a positive direct effect on collective organizational engagement. Even though delegation and collective organizational engagement has a direct positive effect on individual performance paternalism only impacts performance indirectly trough collective engagement. On the other hand results show that delegation and individual performance has a direct positive effect on organizational performance but collective organizational engagement and paternalism dont have a direct impact on organizational performance.
