Abstract

In this study, the relationship between employees' self-efficacy
perceptions and organizational cynicism was investigated. Moreover, the
mediating relationship of perceived manager support on this relationship is
examined. Within the scope of the study, 150 people working in different public
institutions were surveyed. Correlation analysis, linear regression analysis
and hierarchical regression analysis were applied to test the research model.
Results showed that self-efficacy perception is positively related to
employees’ cynical attitudes toward the organization. It was also found that
perceived supervisor support has mediated effect on this relationship.

Öz-Yeterlik Algısı ve Örgütsel Sinizm İlişkisi: Algılanan Yönetici Desteğinin Aracılık Rolü

Abstract

Bu
çalışmada, çalışanların öz-yeterlik algıları ve örgütsel sinizm arasındaki
ilişki araştırılmıştır. Ayrıca bu ilişki üzerinde algılanan yönetici desteğinin
aracılık etkisi incelenmiştir. Çalışma kapsamında farklı kamu kuruluşlarında
görev yapan 150 kişiyle anket yapılmıştır. Araştırma modelini test etmek için
korelasyon analizi, doğrusal regresyon analizi ve hiyerarşik regresyon analizi
uygulanmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda, öz-yeterlilik algısı ile çalışanların
örgüte karşı sinik tutumları arasında aynı yönde ilişki olduğu ve bu ilişki
üzerinde algılanan yönetici desteğinin tam aracılık etkisine sahip olduğu
bulunmuştur.
