Etik İklim, İşe Yabancılaşma ve Örgütsel Özdeşleşmenin İşten Ayrılma Niyeti Üzerindeki Etkisi: Otel İşletmelerinde Bir Araştırma

Öz

Etik iklim, işlerin örgüt içinde etik temelli olarak nasıl yürütüldüğünü ifade eden bir kavram olarak değerlendirilmektedir. Örgütlerde etik iklim, bireyin benliği ve sahip olduğu değerler ile uyumlu olmaması durumunda, birçok psikolojik temelli sonuca yol açabilmektedir. Bu çalışmada; etik iklim, işe yabancılaşma ve örgütsel özdeşleşmenin işten ayrılma niyeti üzerindeki etkisi araştırılmıştır. Araştırma, Ankara ve Antalya illerindeki beş yıldızlı otel işletmelerinde çalışan 385 işgörenle yürütülmüştür. Çalışmada, değişkenler arasındaki etkileri ölçmek amacıyla yapısal eşitlik modelinden yararlanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda, etik iklim türleri olan kişisel ahlak ve kişisel çıkarın yabancılaşma üzerinde, kişisel çıkarın örgütsel özdeşleşme üzerinde, özdeşleşmenin ve yabancılaşmanın işten ayrılma niyeti üzerinde etkisi olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bununla birlikte, diğer etik iklim türlerinin özdeşleşme ve yabancılaşma üzerinde etkisinin olmadığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
