Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı akademisyenlerin güçlendirme algıları ve onların performansları arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir. Araştırmanın verileri 13 kamu üniversitesinde görev yapan 403 akademisyenden toplanmış ve bu akademisyenler tesadüfi olarak belirlenmiştir. Yapılan faktör analizi sonuçları güçlendirmenin anlam-yetkinlik, özerklik ve etki olmak üzere üç faktörde toplandığını göstermektedir. İkinci aşamada ise güçlendirme algıları ve performans arasındaki ilişkilerin incelenmesinde çoklu regresyon analizi kullanılmış ve anlam-yetkinlik boyutunun, performansın en önemli belirleyicisi olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
