Abstract

In today's contemporary landscape characterized by increasing diversity and complexity within organizations, communication, support and opposition has been given great importance. Considering the importance of these concepts, this study aims to examine the relationship between managerial support and organizational opposition, and also to consider the mediating role of organizational attractiveness. To achieve this aim, the survey method was used to collect data from a sample of 323 public officials in the study. The collected data were then analyzed using the statistical software package SPSS 24. According to the results of the analysis, it was determined that managerial support had a positive effect on both organizational opposition and organizational attractiveness. In addition, the analysis showed that there is a positive relationship between organizational attractiveness and organizational opposition. The study also determined the mediating effect of organizational attractiveness in the relationship between managerial support and organizational opposition. The fact that the relationship between manager support, organizational attractiveness, and organizational opposition in the public sector has not been mentioned before fills a gap in the literature. The findings contribute to the literature by illuminating the complex dynamics among managerial support, organizational attractiveness, and organizational opposition in contemporary organizations, particularly within public institutions.

YÖNETİCİ DESTEĞİ İLE ÖRGÜTSEL MUHALEFET ARASINDAKİ İLİŞKİ: BU İLİŞKİDE ÖRGÜTSEL ÇEKİCİLİĞİN ARACILIK ROLÜ

Abstract

Organizasyonlar, içinde artan çeşitlilik ve karmaşıklığın karakterize edildiği günümüzün çağdaş manzarasında, iletişim, destek ve muhalefet konularına büyük önem verilmektedir. Bu kavramların önemi göz önüne alındığında, bu çalışma, yönetsel destek ile örgütsel muhalefet arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemeyi ve aynı zamanda örgütsel çekiciliğin aracı rolünü de göz önünde bulundurmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu amaca ulaşmak için, çalışmada 323 kamu görevlisinden oluşan bir örneklemden veri toplamak için anket yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Toplanan veriler daha sonra istatistiksel yazılım paketi SPSS 24 kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Analizin sonuçlarına göre ilk olarak yönetici desteğinin hem örgütsel muhalefet hem de örgütsel çekicilik üzerinde olumlu bir etki gösterdiği belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca analiz, örgütsel çekicilik ve örgütsel muhalefet arasındaki ilişkinin pozitif olduğunu göstermiştir. Çalışma ek olarak yönetici desteği ve örgütsel muhalefet arasındaki ilişkide örgütsel çekiciliğin aracılık etkisini de tespit etmiştir. Kamu sektöründe yönetici desteği, örgütsel çekicilik ve örgütsel muhalefet arasındaki ilişkiye daha önce değinilmemiş olması literatürdeki boşluğu dolduracaktır. Elde edilen bulgular başta kamu kurumları olmak üzere çağdaş organizasyonlarda yönetici desteği, örgütsel çekicilik ve örgütsel muhalefet arasındaki karmaşık dinamiklere ışık tutarak literatüre katkı sunmaktadır.
