Satisfaction or Commitment, Why Do They Quit? A Meta-Analysis in Africa

Abstract

The purpose of this research is surveying the interrelationships between job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and turnover intention in Africa by using meta-analysis technique. Studies are searched on GoogleScholar, Scopus, and ProQuest databases. 3,844 studies are reviewed and 10 suitable studies are chosen. Three different data sets are used to survey three different relationships. All the data sets are heterogeneous. Therefore the meta-analysis is conducted by using random effects model. The findings indicated that the effects sizes of the relationship of turnover intention with job satisfaction and with organizational commitment are small. The effect size of the relationship between job satisfaction and organizational commitment is medium.

Abstract

Bu çalışma iş tatmini, örgütsel bağlılık ve işten ayrılma niyeti arasındaki ilişkileri meta-analiz tekniği kullanarak incelemeyi hedeflemektedir. Çalışmalar GoogleScholar, Scopus ve Proquest veri tabanları üzerinde arama yapılarak görüntülenmiştir. 3.844 özet gözden geçrildi ve 10 uygun çalışma seçildi. İş tatmini ve işten ayrılma niyeti arasındaki ilişkiye dair oluşturulan ilk veri seti 7 çalışma içermektedir, örgütsel bağlılık ve işten ayrılma niyeti arasındaki ilişkiye dair olan ikinci veri seti 5 çalışma ve iş tatmini ile örgütsel bağlılık arasındaki ilişkiye dair olarak oluşturulmuş olan üçüncü veri seti 4 çalışma içermektedir. Heterojenlik analizi sonuçlarına göre rassal etki modeli kullanıldı. Analiz sonuçları gösterdi ki iş tatmini ve örgütsel bağlılığın işten ayrılma niyeti üzerindeki etkisi küçüktür. İş tatmini ile örgütsel bağlılık arasındaki ilişkinin etki büyüklüğü ise orta seviyededir.
