Banka Çalışanlarında İşkolikliğin İş-Yaşam Dengesi Üzerindeki Etkisinde Örgütsel Sinizmin Aracılık Rolü

Öz

Bu çalışma, Türkiye’deki banka çalışanlarının işkoliklik, örgütsel sinizm ve iş-yaşam dengesi kavramları arasındaki ilişkileri tespit etmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmanın evrenini, Türkiye’deki farklı bankalarda görev yapan 500 banka çalışanı oluşturmakta olup, veriler SPSS-26 ve AMOS-21 yazılımları kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda, işkoliklik, örgütsel sinizm ve iş-yaşam dengesi arasındaki ilişkiler incelenmiş ve bu kavramların birbirleri üzerindeki etkileri değerlendirilmektedir. İşkolikliğin, çalışanların iş-yaşam dengesi üzerindeki etkisinde örgütsel sinizmin aracılık rolü araştırılmıştır. Ancak elde edilen bulgular, işkoliklik ve örgütsel sinizmin iş-yaşam dengesi ile arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmadığını göstermiştir. Dolayısıyla, herhangi bir aracı etki de tespit edilememiştir. Sonuç olarak, Türkiye’deki banka çalışanları arasında işkoliklik, örgütsel sinizm ve iş-yaşam dengesi arasında beklenen ilişkilerin varlığı doğrulanmamıştır. Bu durum, iş-yaşam dengesi konusunda örgütsel yapılar ve bireysel farklılıkların daha derinlemesine incelenmesi gerektiğini ortaya koymaktadır. Çalışma, alanında yeni perspektifler sunmakla birlikte, ilerleyen araştırmalar için önemli bir temel teşkil etmektedir.

The Mediating Role of Organizational Cynicism in The Effect of Workaholism on Work-Life Balance Among Bank Employees

Abstract

This study aims to identify the relationships between the concepts of workaholism, organizational cynicism, and work-life balance among bank employees in Turkey. The study population consists of 500 bank employees working in various banks across Turkey, and the data were analyzed using SPSS-26 and AMOS-21 software. As a result of the research, the relationships among workaholism, organizational cynicism, and work-life balance were examined, and the effects of these concepts on each other were evaluated. The mediating role of organizational cynicism in the effect of workaholism on employees' work-life balance was investigated. However, the findings indicated that there is no statistically significant relationship between workaholism and organizational cynicism with work-life balance. Therefore, no mediating effect could be identified. Consequently, the anticipated relationships between workaholism, organizational cynicism, and work-life balance among bank employees in Turkey were not confirmed. This situation highlights the necessity for a more in-depth examination of organizational structures and individual differences concerning work-life balance. The study, while offering new perspectives in the field, provides an important foundation for future research.
