İşe Bağlılık ve Adil Dünya İnancı: Kamu Çalışanları Üzerine Bir Araştırma

Year 2020, Volume: 11 Issue: Ek, 104 - 109, 31.12.2020

Abstract

Günümüzde çalışma ortamının fiziksel koşulları, özlük hakları, kariyer olanakları, maaş gibi dışsal faktörlerin yanı sıra iş tatmini, motivasyon, değerler sistemi gibi kişisel/içsel faktörlerin de işyerindeki verimliliği etkilediği göze çarpmaktadır. Bu nedenle araştırmada kamu çalışanlarının işe bağlılık düzeyleri ile adil dünya inançları arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemek amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubu farklı devlet kurum ve kuruluşlarında memuriyetini sürdüren 164 kamu çalışanından oluşmaktadır. Verilerin toplanmasında kişisel bilgi formu, Utrecht İşe Bağlılık Ölçeği, Kişisel ve Genel Adil Dünya İnancı Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Katılımcıların işe bağlılık puanları ile adil dünya inancı puanları arasında negatif yönde anlamlı bir ilişki tespit edilmiştir (r = -.20, p<.01). Araştırma sonuçlarına göre; katılımcıların adil dünya inancı düzeyleri çalışanların işe ait hissedip hissetmediklerine veya kamu görevinden ayrılma niyetlerine göre farklılık göstermemektedir. Araştırma sonuçları alan yazındaki diğer çalışmalar ışığında tartışılmış ve araştırmacılara yönelik birtakım öneriler sunulmuştur.

Work Engagement and Belief in a Just World: A Research on Public Employees

Year 2020, Volume: 11 Issue: Ek, 104 - 109, 31.12.2020

Abstract

Today, it is striking that besides external factors such as physical conditions of the working environment, personal rights, career opportunities and salary, personal/internal factors such as job satisfaction, motivation, and value system also affect productivity in the workplace. Therefore, it was aimed in this research to determine the relationship between the work engagement levels of public employees and their just world beliefs. The study group consists of 164 public employees who work in different state institutions and organizations. Personal information form, Utrecht Work Engagement Scale, Personal and General Belief in a Just World Scale were used in data collection. A significant negative relationship was found between the work engagement scores and the just world belief scores of the participants (r = -.20, p<.01). Levels of just world belief do not differ according to whether employees' feeling of belonging to the workplace or their intention to leave the public service. The results were discussed in the light of other studies in the literature and some suggestions for the researchers were presented.
