Abstract

Objective: Artistic activities emerge with effects that increase the motivation of individuals in the
organizational field. The objective of this research is to reveal the contribution of artistic activities
created through servant leaders in the organizational field.
Method: Chef, composer and artist Cavit Ersoy and Huseyin Erbay, who have made their names
known through their work in the field of Turkish Art Music, are the sample of the research. Semistructured open-ended interview questions were prepared and directed to both artists.
Content analysis was performed on the collected data by using the phenomenological method,
NVIVO 12 program.
Findings: According to the first finding, both artists perform their activities with their own servant
leadership characteristics. It was revealed that both had all the characteristics of servant leadership.
The other result of the research is that both artists, who are busy with Turkish art music, are happy
with their activities and reflect this situation in their organizational fields during their long
professional lives.
Discussion: According to the research findings, individuals with different professions participating
in artistic activities are stripped of their own identity and come together with the unifying power of
music. It is observed that the employees participating in artistic activities receive strong support
from leading artists and use this power with a synergy in their organizational lives. This synergy
reflected in the organizational field causes positive outcomes for businesses. For this reason, it is
important to support the employees' participation in artistic activities.
