The Relationship of Academicians' Levels of Crabs In a Barrel Syndrome and Their Organizational Justice

Abstract

This study, which aims to examine the relationship between the level of crabs in a barrel syndrome and organizational justice perceptions of academicians at the faculty of sports sciences in a university working environment with a superior-superior balance, is a descriptive study conducted with the survey model, one of the quantitative research methods. The population of the research consists of academicians working in the faculties of sports sciences. The research group was determined by the convenient sampling method, which is one of the non-random sampling methods. The study was based on volunteerism, and a total of 207 academicians, 58 women and 149 men, participated. In the study, Organizational Justice Scale adapted to Turkish by Yıldırım (2002), Crabs in a barrel syndrome scale developed by Fettahlioğlu and Dedeoglu (2021), and demographic information questionnaire were used as data collection tools. The data were obtained by e-form method. At the stage of statistical analysis, first of all, the normality assumptions of the scales and their sub-dimensions were examined with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. For the scale and its sub-dimensions with normal distribution, independent samples t-test was used for those with 2 levels of parametric tests, and ANOVA F test for those with 3 or more, and for non-normally distributed variables, the Mann-Whitney U test was used for non-parametric tests with 2 levels, and the Kruskal-Wallis-H test for those with 3 or more levels. In addition, Pearson Correlation analysis was performed to determine the relationship between the scales. The findings of the study show that there is no significant difference between the total scales and sub-dimensions and demographic characteristics, among variables such as gender and marital status, while there is a significant difference between variables such as title and age and various sub-dimensions. An important finding of the study is that the increase in the level of crabs in a barrel syndrome decreased the organizational commitment levels of academicians.
