Abstract
Aim: The aim of this study is to examine and analyze the interaction between leadership theory models and self-assessment systems.
Methodology: The research is based on a qualitative, comparative analysis that explores the interrelations between leadership theory models and self-assessment frameworks.
Findings: While leadership theories generally aim to enhance efficiency and effectiveness, self-assessment systems decompose these objectives into specific measurable areas (e.g., process quality, stakeholder satisfaction, employee performance). Through this process, theoretical leadership aspirations are transformed into tangible, measurable indicators.
Value: The value of the research lies in bridging leadership theory approaches and self-assessment systems, thereby contributing both to theoretical understanding and practical applicability. It provides a new conceptual perspective on the triadic relationship between leadership, self-assessment, and integrity — an area that has been rarely analyzed from a systemic standpoint.
