Abstract :In this study, discrimination in organizations and its relationship with some types of leadership were investigated. In this context, the studies in the literature were examined and articles that studied the issue of discrimination with some types of leadership were discussed. As a result, it was noticed that the results in the mentioned studies were quite similar. According to the findings of field research, discrimination in organizations; it does not differ according to variables such as culture, company size, gender, belief and education. In other words, it is possible to see discrimination and its destructive effects in almost every organization (regardless of whether it is small or large or located in Asia, Europe or America). For this reason, it is extremely important to prevent discriminatory behaviour in organizations in a timely manner before it becomes widespread. If it is not possible to do this, discrimination can spread throughout organizations like a cancer, and as a result, organizations may face dangerous consequences such as entropy. Researchers have defined the most competent people responsible for preventing discrimination in organizations as leaders. As a summary of the mentioned studies, a negative and significant relationship was found between servant, ethical, paternalistic and positive leadership types and the ability of these leaders to stop or reduce discrimination and discrimination. Since this study was prepared as a compilation of independent field research, no comparison was made between the mentioned leadership types and the research results were interpreted independently of each other.
