İşkolikliğin Örgütsel Bağlılık ve Performans Arasındaki İlişkide Aracı Rolü

Abstract

Örgütsel bağlılığın işletmelerin sürdürülebilir rekabet avantajına olan olumlu etkisi iş hayatında her geçen gün daha fazla kabul edilen bir gerçeklik olmaktadır. Örgütsel bağlılığın olumlu sonuçlarının gözlemlendiği araştırmaların yanında bazı araştırmalarda olumsuz sonuçları da gözlenmektedir. Örgütsel bağlılığın olumsuz sonuçlarından bir tanesi olarak gözlenen işkoliklik davranışlar çalışanların kendilerini sürekli çalışmaktan alıkoyamamasını ifade etmektedir. Performans çalışanların örgütlerin amaçları doğrultusundaki olumlu çıktılarını ifade etmektedir. İşkolikliğin performans üzerinde örgütsel davranışın olumlu etkisinin azaltacağının öngörüldüğü araştırma modelinde veriler SPSS 21 ve Process 3.0 kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Sinop ilinde faaliyet gösteren bir işletmenin 155 çalışanı araştırma örneklemini oluşturmaktadır. Verilerin analiz sonuçlarına göre işkolikliğin örgütsel davranış ve performans arasında kısmi aracılık etkisi gözlenmiştir.
