THE MEDIATING ROLE OF PROSOCIAL MOTIVATION IN THE EFFECT OF REMOTE WORKING METHOD ON MENTAL WELL-BEING

Abstract

The concept of remote working, which emerged during the 1970s oil crisis and was subsequently endorsed by the Bangemann Report (1994) for the European Union, has evolved into an imperative of global proportions, superseding its original status as a mere recommendation in the wake of the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic. With the lifting of the isolation and distancing requirements imposed by the pandemic, the obligation to work remotely has likewise come to an end. In the post-pandemic era, remote working has evolved from a necessity to a preference for businesses, entrepreneurs and some employees with the autonomy to make their own decisions. This paradigm shift signifies that remote working remains a prevalent and valid working method. The primary focus of the research is on employees’ perceptions of remote working method following the challenging pandemic period, and how this shift has affected their lives. While the notion of quarantine engendering individualism may appear intuitive, it can be hypothesised that the concept of collectively surviving the arduous conditions of the pandemic through mutual assistance and contribution fosters prosocial motivation. The present study, which was conducted with 224 participants who were primarily employed (85%) in service-producing enterprises and (15%) in production-based sectors, aims to reveal the effect of telecommuting on mental well-being and the mediating role of prosocial motivation on this effect. To summarise, the objective of the present study is twofold. Firstly, it seeks to ascertain the extent to which remote working is adopted, and secondly, to determine its impact on social life, including the mental health of employees and their motivation to assist others. In accordance with the scales employed in the survey, it was determined that prosocial motivation exerts an influence on the mental well-being of the individual, and that, in general, remote working has a positive impact on the lives of the employees participating in the study. A study was conducted on remote workers and their perceptions of self-efficacy and social support, within the crisis environment created by the outbreak of the novel Covid-19.

UZAKTAN ÇALIŞMA YÖNTEMİNİN MENTAL İYİ OLUŞ ÜZERİNDEKİ ETKİSİNDE PROSOSYAL MOTİVASYONUN ARACI ROLÜ

Abstract

1970’lerdeki petrol krizi ile konuşulmaya, Bangemann Raporu’nun (1994) Avrupa Birliği’ne tavsiye etmesiyle uygulanmaya başlanan uzaktan çalışma, Covid-19 salgınıyla birlikte tavsiyeden çok, küresel boyutta kaçınılmaz bir zorunluluğa dönüşmüştür. Salgın koşullarının beraberinde getirdiği izolasyon ve mesafe zorunluluğunun ortadan kalkmasıyla birlikte uzaktan çalışma zorunluluğu da ortadan kalkmıştır. Salgının sona ermesiyle birlikte işletmeler, girişimciler ve kendi kararını verebilen kimi çalışanlar için zorunluluktan tercihe dönüşen uzaktan çalışma halen yaygın ve geçerli olan bir çalışma yöntemidir. Zorlu salgın deneyiminden sonraki dönemde çalışanların uzaktan çalışma yöntemiyle ilgili düşünceleri ve bu olgunun yaşamlarını nasıl etkilediği araştırmanın ana konusunu oluşturmaktadır. Karantina sürecinin bireyselliği beraberinde getirmesi doğalmış gibi görünse de salgının çetin koşullarından yardımlaşarak, başkalarına katkı sağlayarak birlikte kurtulmak düşüncesinin prososyal motivasyonu geliştirdiği düşünülebilir. %85’i hizmet, %15’i üretime dayalı sektörlerde istihdam edilen 224 katılımcı ile gerçekleştirilen bu araştırma uzaktan çalışma yönteminin mental iyi oluş üzerindeki etkisini ve bu etki üzerinde prososyal motivasyonun aracı rolünü ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır. Bir başka deyişle çalışma, uzaktan çalışma yönteminin ne kadar benimsendiğini ve çalışanın ruh sağlığı ve başkalarına yardım etme motivasyonu da dahil olmak üzere toplumsal yaşam üzerindeki izdüşümünün belirlenmesine katkı sağlamayı hedeflemektedir. Yapılan anket çalışmasıyla birlikte, kullanılan ölçeklerle de uyumlu olarak, prososyal motivasyonun kişinin mental iyi oluş durumu üzerinde etkili olduğu ve genel olarak uzaktan çalışmanın araştırmaya katılan çalışanların yaşamını olumlu yönde etkilediğine ilişkin bulgulara ulaşılmıştır.
