Abstract

Bireyler arası
rekabet ve iş güvencesizliği, günümüz çalışma hayatının temel dinamikleri olup işgören
tutum ile davranışlarını önemli ölçüde etkilemektedir. Bu çalışmada, algılanan
rekabetçi iş ortamı ve nicel iş güvencesizliğinin çalışanlarda işe bağlı
gerginliği tetikleyip tetiklemediği incelenmiş; çalışanların benimsemiş olduğu başarı
amaç yönelimlerinin, algılanan rekabetçi iş ortamı-işe bağlı gerginlik ve
algılanan nicel iş güvencesizliği-işe bağlı gerginlik ilişkisinde anlamlı bir
farklılaşmaya yol açıp açmadığı test edilmiştir. Saha araştırması, Adana ilinde
görev yapmakta olan tıbbi satış mümessilleri üzerinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Yürütülen
anket çalışması sonucunda 226 katılımcıdan elde edilen veriler; güvenilirlik,
doğrulayıcı faktör analizi, korelasyon ve hiyerarşik regresyon analizi yapılarak
incelenmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlar, çalışanların algıladıkları rekabet
arttıkça yaşadıkları işe bağlı gerginliğin arttığını; başarı amaç
yönelimlerinin ise düzenleyici bir rol oynamadığını göstermiştir. Bununla
birlikte; algılanan nicel iş güvencesizliğinin işe bağlı gerginliği pozitif
yönde etkilediği; katılımcıların sahip olduğu ustalaşma ve ispatlama yönelimi
düzeylerine bağlı olarak işe bağlı gerginlik düzeylerinin farklılaştığı tespit
edilmiştir.

The Effect of Perceived Competitive Work Environment and Quantitative Job Insecurity on Job Strain

Abstract

Interpersonal competition and job
insecurity are the main characteristics of today’s working life and affect
employee attitudes and behaviors to a considerable extent. In this study, the effect
of perceived competitive work environment and job insecurity on job strain was
examined; and the moderating role of achievement goal orientations on perceived
competitive work environment-job strain and perceived quantitative job
insecurity-job strain relationship was tested. Field study was conducted on
medical sales representatives working in Adana. Research data was obtained from
226 participants via survey method and analyzed by reliability, confirmatory
factor analysis, correlation and hierarchical regression analysis. Study
findings demonstrated that perceived work environment is related to job strain
positively and the moderating role of achievement goal orientations is not significant.
 Besides, the relationship of perceived
quantitative job insecurity with job strain was found to be positive and
moderated by mastery and proving achievement goal orientations.
