Abstract

Problem: Temel bir insan duygusu olarak kıskançlık, insan hayatının büyük bir
kısmını etkiler. Bu bağlamda, kıskançlığın iş hayatında da muhtemel etkilere sahip
olacağı söylenebilir. Ne var ki, Türkiye’de kıskançlığın bu muhtemel etkilerini ve
bu etkilerin sonuçlarını belirlemeye yönelik akademik bir çalışma mevcut değildir.
Amaç: Bu araştırmanın amacı sağlık çalışanlarının kıskançlık duyguları ile
işten ayrılma eğilimleri arasındaki muhtemel ilişkinin ve bu ilişki üzerinde örgütsel
imajın aracı etkisinin ortaya çıkarılmasıdır. İlgili literatür gözden geçirildiğinde,
çalışan kıskançlığı ile işten ayrılma eğilimi arasında pozitif bir ilişki olduğu görülmektedir.
Ayrıca, literatür taraması sonucunda örgütsel imaj ile işten ayrılma eğilimi
arasında negatif bir ilişki olduğu görülmektedir. Kıskançlık ile örgütsel imaj
arasındaki ilişkiye bakıldığında, literatürde bu iki değişken arasındaki ilişkiyi araştıran
bir çalışma görülmemektedir. Literatürde örgütsel imaj değişkeninin aracı değişken
(örneğin stres ile işten ayrılma eğilimi arasında) olarak kullanıldığı görülmektedir,
fakat bu değişkenin kıskançlık ile işten ayrılma eğilimi arasında aracı
değişken olarak kullanıldığı bir çalışma mevcut gözükmemektedir.
Yöntem: Bu çalışma, Türkiye’nin Balıkesir ili merkezi ve diğer ilçelerinde faaliyet
gösteren özel hastanelerde çalışmakta olan hemşire ve diğer yardımcı sağlık
personeli arasından kolayda örneklem yöntemiyle belirlenmiş olan 340 sağlık çalışanına
yüz yüze anket yöntemi uygulanarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Elde edilen veriler,
yapısal eşitli modeline uygun istatistik programları kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir.
Bulgular: Aracı değişken analizi gerçekleştirebilmek için değişkenler arasında
bulunması gereken ve Baron ve Kenny (1986) tarafından önerilmiş olan ilişki şartları
karşılanmıştır. Analiz sonuçları, kıskançlık ile işten ayrılma niyeti arasında pozitif
bir ilişki olduğunu ve örgütsel imaj değişkeninin bu ilişki üzerinde kısmi aracı
etkiye sahip olduğunu göstermiştir.
Özgün Değer: Bu çalışma, ilk olarak, araştırmanın yürütüldüğü ülke ve bölge
açısından orijinaldir. İkinci olarak, bir değişken olarak kıskançlığı araştırma konusu
yapan bir çok çalışma olmasına rağmen, Türkiye’de bu değişkenin örgütsel
araştırmalarda kullanılmadığı görülmektedir. Bu açıdan da çalışma bir ilk olma
özelliği taşımaktadır.

THE MEDIATOR ROLE OF ORGANIZATIONAL IMAGE ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN JEALOUSY AND TURNOVER INTENTION: A STUDY ON HEALTH WORKERS

Abstract

Problem: As a basic human emotion, jealousy affects most of the parts of
people’s life. Therefore, it is quite possible that jealousy has some effects in work
life. However, there is not any study in Turkey aimed to determine these effects
and their results in workplace.
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore possible relationship between
employee jealousy and turnover intentions of employees’ and mediator role of organizational
image perception on this relationship. A review of related literature
shows that employee jealousy has a positive relationship with turnover intention.
Also, literature review shows that organizational image has a negative association
with turnover intention. As to relationship between jealousy and organizational
image, there is not any study examining the relationship between these variables
in the literature. Additionally, according to literature review, it is seen that researchers
used organizational image in their studies as a mediator variable (e.g. between
stress and turnover intention) but, again, there is not any study used organizational
image as a mediator between jealousy and turnover intention.
Methodology: In this study, face-to-face survey method was conducted to
340 health workers chosen through convenient sampling method among nurses
and other allied health personnel working at four private hospitals in Balıkesir and
its towns in Turkey. Data was analyzed by using structural equation modeling.
Findings: Relationships between three variables match the conditions to implement
a mediator analysis that are purposed by Baron and Kenny (1986). The
results of the study show that employee jealousy has a positive relationship with turnover intention, and organizational image perceptions of employees’ have a mediator
effect on this relationship.
Originality: This study is original in terms of country and region that it was
implemented. Although there are many studies dealing with jealousy as a variable,
this variable is not used in organizational researches in Turkey.
