Abstract

In today's demanding working conditions, it is of considerable importance for employees to feel safe and happy in their workplaces in terms of their performance. Since employees spend a significant portion of their time in the workplace, the encouragement and development of personal relationships among colleagues and the establishment of communication related to work contribute to the emergence of workplace friendships. These friendships also lead to employees receiving support, feeling relaxed, and experiencing a sense of security. Employees who freely express their ideas in the workplace are more comfortable in implementing their creative ideas. This sense of confidence they feel is also reflected in their psychology as "safety." Therefore, through the workplace friendships they establish, employees can feel psychologically secure. As a result, their performance, especially in terms of creativity, improves. The aim of this study is to determine the mediating role of psychological comfort in the impact of workplace friendships on employee creativity in organizations. To achieve this goal, data was collected through a survey technique from 500 full-time white-collar employees working in companies operating in the furniture sector in Kayseri. The surveys were conducted through face-to-face interviews, and incomplete responses were eliminated, resulting in a total of 428 valid survey responses. Firstly, Cronbach Alpha values were calculated and confirmatory factor analysis was applied to assess the validity and reliability of the collected data. Additionally, skewness and kurtosis values were examined to determine whether the data followed a normal distribution. IBM SPSS, IBM AMOS, and PROCESS 3.2 software programs were utilized for data analysis. NBased on the findings, it has been revealed that psychological comfort plays a partial mediating role in the impact of workplace friendships on creativity. In this context, it has been concluded that workplace friendships not only support creativity but also serve as a mediator in enhancing psychological comfort.

İŞ YERİ ARKADAŞLIĞININ YARATICILIĞA ETKİSİNDE PSİKOLOJİK RAHATLIĞIN ARACI ROLÜ

Abstract

Günümüz yoğun çalışma koşullarında çalışanların işyerlerinde güvende ve mutlu hissetmeleri performansları açısından oldukça önemlidir. Çalışanların zamanlarının büyük bir kısmını çalıştıkları yerde geçirmeleri ve iş arkadaşları arasındaki kişisel ilişkilerin teşvik edilip geliştirilmesi ve işle ilgili kurulan iletişim arkadaşlıkların ortaya çıkmasını sağlamaktadır. Kurulan arkadaşlıklar da çalışanların destek görmelerine, rahatlamalarına, güvende hissetmelerine yol açar. Iş yerinde fikirlerini özgürce eden çalışanlar da yaratıcı fikirlerini hayata geçirmek konusunda daha konforludur. Duydukları bu güven psikolojilerine de “safety” olarak yansır. Dolayısıyla çalışanlar kurdukları iş yeri arkadaşlıkları sayesinde psikolojik olarak güvende hissedebilirler. Bunun sonucunda da yaratıcılık başta olmak üzere performansları da artar. Bu çalışmanın amacı örgütlerde iş yeri arkadaşlığının çalışanların yaratıcılığa etkisinde psikolojik rahatlıklarının aracı rolünü tespit etmektir. Bu amaçla Kayseri’de mobilya sektöründe faaliyet göstermekte olan işletmelerde çalışmakta olan 500 tam zamanlı beyaz yakalı çalışan üzerinde anket tekniğiyle veri toplanmıştır. Anketler yüz yüze görüşerek toplanmış ve eksik değerlendirilenler elenerek toplam 428 anket değerlendirmeye tabi tutulmuştur. Öncelikle elde edilen verilerin geçerli ve güvenilir olup olmadıklarını ortaya koyabilmek amacıyla Cronbach Alpha değerleri hesaplanmış ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizi uygulanmıştır. Ayrıca verilerin normal dağılıp dağılmadıklarını belirleyebilmek için çarpıklık ve basıklık değerleri incelenmiştir. Analizlerin yapılmasında IBM SPSS, IBM AMOS ve PROCESS 3.2. programlarından faydalanılmıştır. Bulgulardan yola çıkarak iş yeri arkadaşlığının yaratıcılık üzerine etkisinde psikolojik rahatlığın kısmi aracı rol oynadığı ortaya koyulmuştur. Bu bağlamda iş yeri arkadaşlığının yaratıcılığı desteklerken psikolojik rahatlığın da aracı rolü olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
