Abstract

The research was conducted to investigate the relationship between work passion, perception of organizational support and sustainable competitive advantage. Internet interviews were conducted with 406 academics from 18 foundation universities in Turkey. Based on these interviews, the effects of academics' work passion on sustainability and Perceived organizational support were analyzed. Passion for work is closely related to the performance of academics. This research focuses specifically on the concept of passion for work in academics. Harmonious passion, one of the sub-dimensions of this concept, positively affects perceived organizational support and sustainable competitive advantage. Obsessive passion, another sub-dimension of work passion, has negative effects on these two variables. Furthermore, the study also explores the mediating role of perceived organizational support to help increase sustainable competitive advantage. The aim is to reveal the extent to which work passion affects sustainability. In addition, it is another aim to reveal whether this situation increases the impact on sustainability when added to the model as a perceived organizational support tool. As an important point, it has been seen that perceived organizational support does not have a mediating role in the effect of obsessive passion on sustainable competitive advantage.

İŞ TUTKUSUNUN SÜRDÜRÜLEBİLİR REKABET AVANTAJINA ETKİSİNDE ALGILANABİLİR ÖRGÜTSEL DESTEĞİN ARACI ROLÜ

Abstract

Araştırma, iş tutkusu, örgütsel destek algısı ve sürdürülebilir rekabet avantajı arasındaki ilişkiyi araştırmak amacıyla yapılmıştır. Türkiye'deki 18 vakıf üniversitesinden 406 akademisyen ile internet üzerinden görüşme yapılmıştır. Bu görüşmelerden yola çıkarak akademisyenlerin iş tutkularının algılanan örgütsel destek ve sürdürülebilirlik üzerindeki etkileri analiz edilmiştir. Çalışma tutkusu akademisyenlerin performansı ile yakından ilişkilidir. Bu araştırma, özellikle akademisyenlerde çalışma tutkusu kavramına odaklanmaktadır. Bu kavramın alt boyutlarından biri olan uyumlu tutku, algılanan örgütsel destek ve sürdürülebilir rekabet avantajını olumlu yönde etkilemektedir. İş tutkusunun bir diğer alt boyutu olan saplantılı tutku ise bu iki değişken üzerinde olumsuz etkilere sahiptir. Ayrıca, çalışma, sürdürülebilir rekabet avantajını artırmaya yardımcı olmak için algılanan örgütsel desteğin aracı rolünü de araştırmaktadır. Amaç, iş tutkusunun sürdürülebilirliği ne ölçüde etkilediğini ortaya çıkarmaktır. Ayrıca algılanan örgütsel destek aracı olarak modele eklendiğinde bu durumun sürdürülebilirlik üzerindeki etkiyi artırıp artırmadığını ortaya koymak bir diğer amaçtır. Bu aracı değişken ile oluşturulan araştırma modellerinde de benzer sonuçlar görülmektedir. Önemli bir nokta olarak saplantılı tutkunun sürdürülebilir rekabet avantajı üzerindeki etkisinde algılanan örgütsel desteğin aracı rolünün olmadığı görülmüştür.
