Abstract

Today’s modern organizations tend to benefit from creative capacity of their employees thus they investigate the factors that increase or decrease individual creative performance. In this study, the relationships between organizational silence, organizational identification and perceived individual creativity performance were analyzed and the mediator role of organizational identification on the relationship between organizational silence and individual creativity was investigated. For these purposes, the research was conducted on 24 manufacturing and sales companies operating in Marmara Region and the data gathered through questionnaires was based upon the responses of 174 employees. These data were analyzed via reliability analysis, exploratory factor analysis, correlation analysis and regression analysis. According to the results, prosocial silence, one of the dimensions of organizational silence, has a positive effect on individual creativity. Likewise prosocial silence and defensive silence, other dimensions of organizational silence, positively affects organizational identification. Finally, the last experimental result shows that organizational identification has a mediating role on the relationship between organizational silence and individual creativity

21.ÖRGÜTSEL SESSİZLİK VE BİREYSEL YARATICILIK PERFORMANSI İLİŞKİSİ: ÖRGÜTSEL ÖZDEŞLEŞMENİN ARACILIK ROLÜ

Abstract

Günümüz modern işletmeleri, çalışanlarının yaratıcılık kapasitelerinden faydalanmanın yollarını araştırmakta ve bireysel yaratıcılık performansını arttıran ve azaltan unsurların tespitine yönelik faaliyetlerde bulunmaktadırlar. Bu amaçla bu çalışmada, örgütsel sessizlik, örgütsel özdeşleşme ve çalışanların bireysel yaratıcılık performansı algıları arasındaki ilişkiler incelenmiş ve örgütsel sessizliğin bireysel yaratıcılık üzerindeki etkisinde örgütsel özdeşleşmenin aracılık rolüne bakılmıştır. Araştırmanın amacı doğrultusunda Marmara Bölgesi’nde faaliyet gösteren 24 farklı imalat ve satış firması çalışanlarından anket tekniği ile veriler toplanmıştır. Toplamda 176 kişiden elde edilen anket verileri ile çalışmanın değişkenleri arasındaki ilişkilerin incelenmesi hedeflenmiştir. Elde edilen veriler açıklayıcı faktör analizi, güvenirlik analizi, korelasyon analizi ve regresyon analizleri aracılığıyla değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırma bulgularına göre, örgütsel sessizlik alt boyutlarından prososyal sessizlik, bireysel yaratıcılığı olumlu yönde etkilemektedir. Aynı şekilde prososyal sessizlik, bir diğer sessizlik türü olan savunmacı sessizlik ile örgütsel özdeşleşmeyi olumlu yönde etkilemektedir. Çalışmadan elde edilen son deneysel sonuç ise örgütsel özdeşleşmenin örgütsel sessizlik ve bireysel yaratıcılık ilişkisinde tam aracı olduğudur
