Abstract

In recent years, increasing motivation studies in organizational behavior studies reveal that how important the concept of motivation is for organizations. Particularly, the positive effect of intrinsic motivation on the attitudes and behaviors of employees draws attention from researchers and organizations. This research examines to explore this importance comprehensively the potential effect of intrinsic motivation on work engagement and the mediating effect of job resourcefulness in the relationship between intrinsic motivation and work engagement. Based on this importance, the data obtained from 283 participants were analyzed. Analyzes were made through SPSS and AMOS package programs, and Process Macro analysis developed by Hayes (2018) was used for the mediation test. The results revealed that intrinsic motivation has a positive effect on work engagement and that job crafting has a mediating role in the relationship between intrinsic motivation and work engagement.

İçsel Motivastonun İşe Adamışlık Üzerindeki Etkisinde İş Becerikliliğinin Aracı Rolü

Abstract

Son yıllarda örgütsel davranış çalışmalarında artan motivasyon çalışmaları örgütler açısından motivasyon kavramının ne denli önemli olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Özellikle de içsel motivasyonun çalışanların tutum ve davranışları üzerindeki olumlu etkisi araştırmacılar ve uygulayıcılar açısından dikkat çekmektedir. Bu araştırma bu önemin kapsamlı bir şekilde araştırılması için içsel motivasyonun işe adanmışlık üzerindeki potansiyel etkisini ve iş becerikliliğin içsel motivasyon ile işe adanmışlık arasındaki ilişkideki aracılık etkisini incelemektedir. Bu önemden hareketle 283 katılımcıdan elde edilen veriler analiz edilmiştir. Analizler SPSS ve AMOS paket programları aracılığıyla yapılmış ve aracılık testi için ise Hayes (2018) tarafından geliştirilen Process Makro analiz yönetimi kullanılmıştır. Analiz sonuçlarına göre içsel motivasyonun işe adanmışlığı pozitif yönde etkilediği ve içsel motivasyon ile işe adanmışlık arasındaki ilişkide iş becerikliliğinin aracı rolü olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
