 Yönetim ve kültür bağlantısından hareket eden bu çalışma, Türk toplumunun yönetici kavramına bakış açısını dil üzerinden çözümlemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Yönetim, öz itibarıyla iletişimsel bir süreçtir. Yönetim sürecinin temel öznesi olan yönetici ise, iletişimi kullanarak yönetsel işlevleri uygulayan kişidir. Bu anlamıyla yönetici, insanların iş yapmalarını ve amaca ulaşmalarını iletişim aracılığıyla sağlamaktadır. Çalışma kapsamında yönetici kavramı, Türkçede bulunan atasözleri ve deyimler üzerinden incelenmektedir. Atasözleri ve deyimler, bir toplumun geçmişten günümüze uzanan kültürel sürekliliğini, değerlerini ve yönelimlerini ortaya koyan dilsel öğelerdir. Nitel araştırma yaklaşımı doğrultusunda tasarlanan araştırma kapsamında, Türk Dil Kurumu -TDK- Atasözleri ve Deyimler Sözlüğü taranarak yönetici kavramıyla ilgili atasözleri ile deyimler tespit edilmiş ve içerik analizi yöntemiyle analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma bulguları, araştırmacılar tarafından alanyazından hareketle oluşturulan kategoriler uyarınca değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırmanın geçerlik ve güvenirliliğini sağlamak amacıyla birden fazla araştırmacının sürece dahil edilmesi ve uzman görüşü alınması gibi yöntemlere başvurulmuştur. Çalışmanın sonuç kısmında elde edilen bulgular tartışılmış ve gelecek araştırmalara yönelik öneriler sunulmuştur. Çalışmada ulaşılan en temel sonuç, yönetici kavramının Türkçede bulunan atasözü ve deyimlerde oldukça önemli bir yer arz etmesidir. Bu bağlamda araştırma bulgularının alanyazın ile koşutluk içinde olduğunu, Türk dilinde yöneticinin işlevine ve iletişimsel rolüne dikkat çeken birçok atasözü ile deyimin bulunduğunu ifade etmek mümkündür.
