Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Pozitif Sapma Davranışları ölçeğinin devamlılığını Hirschi’nin Sosyal
Bağ Teorisi’nden hareketle oluşturulan bir araştırma modeli ile test etmektir. Bu doğrultuda araştırma
kapsamı örgütsel bağlılığın, pozitif sapma üzerindeki etkileri ile sınırlandırılmıştır. Araştırmada nicel
araştırma yöntemlerinden anket tekniği kullanılmıştır. Araştırma Bursa, Türkiye’de yürütülmüştür.
Araştırma örneklemi 314 üniversite mezunu özel sektör çalışanından oluşmaktadır. Araştırma
sonucunda geliştirilen ölçeğin orijinal faktör yapısı bu araştırmada da elde edilmiştir. Bulgular her ne
kadar ölçeğin devamlılığını destekler nitelikte ise de pozitif sapma ölçeğinin örgüt dışı aidiyetler
boyutunun faktör analizi sürecinde çok sayıda ifade kaybetmesi, ilgili boyut üzerine daha fazla
araştırma yapılarak geliştirilmesi gerekliliğini ön plana çıkarmaktadır. Ayrıca elde edilen bulgular
Sosyal Bağ Teorisi’ni destekler niteliktedir. Bu kapsamda, örgütsel bağlılığın alt boyutu olan
duygusal bağlılığın tüm pozitif sapma alt boyutları üzerinde negatif etkileri olduğu sonucu ile;
normatif bağlılığın bireysel verimlilik ve örgüt dışı aidiyetler temelinde pozitif sapma üzerinde yine
negatif etkili olduğu; devam bağlılığının ise örgütün sürdürülebilir başarısı temelinde pozitif sapma
üzerinde pozitif etkili olduğu sonuçlarına ulaşılmıştır. Bu sonuçlar çalışanın örgütü ile güçlü
bağlarının örneğin bireysel verimliliği arttırmak gerekçesiyle bile olsa örgüt normlarından
uzaklaşmasını engellerken; diğer taraftan zayıf bağların çalışanların sürdürülebilir başarı elde
edilmesi için örgüt normlarından uzaklaşmasına vesile olabilir şeklinde yorumlanabilir.

IN THE FRAME OF THE SOCIAL BOND THEORY, TESTING THE CONTINUITY OF POSİTİVE DEVIANCE BEHAVIOR SCALE

Abstract

The aim of this study, is to test the continuity of newly developed scale of Positive
Deviance. In this regard, scope of the research determined in the frame of the relations among
organizational commitment, tenure and positive deviance. Hirschi’s Social Bond Theory constitutes
theoretical background of the research model. One of quantitative methods, survey technique has
been used. The research conducted at Bursa, TURKEY. Sample consist of 314 private sector
employees. According to the findings, factor structure which is obtained by exploratory factor
analysis (EFA) is consistent with original scale. Although the findings are supportive for the
continuity of the positive deviance scale; it nevertheless also highlights that one of the sub dimensions
of the scale; social ties had lost so many items during EFA. So according to the findings number of
items of social ties dimension need to be revised. Furthermore, findings mainly support the Theory.
As one of sub dimension of organizational commitment, affective commitment has negative effects
on all positive deviance sub dimensions. Besides normative commitment to the organization has also
negative effects on PD’s social ties and work-related pride. On the contrary, continuity commitment
has positive effect on PD’s sub-dimension of higher loyalties to the organization and/or society.
