Abstract

Aim: The study examines nurses' perceptions of organizational justice and structural and psychological empowerment and their relationship.
Material and Methods: The study's sample, carried out as a descriptive and relation-seeking study, consisted of 271 nurses working in a public hospital. "Individual Introduction Form", "Perception of Organizational Justice Scale", "Structural Empowerment Scale" and "Psychological Empowerment Scale" were used in data collection. The study's data were evaluated with a number, percentage, mean, standard deviation, median, Cronbach's Alpha internal consistency coefficient, Mann Whitney U, Kruskal Wallis, and Spearman correlation analysis. The significance level for the results was taken as p<0.05.
Results: The mean organizational justice score of the nurses was 2.87±0.59, the mean score of structural empowerment was 2.88 ±0.67, and the mean score of psychological empowerment was 3.74±0.82. It was determined that the mean scores of organizational justice, procedural and interactional justice differed according to age, professional experience, and the unit of work, while the scores of perception of distributive justice and psychological empowerment differed statistically according to the unit they worked in (p<0.05). A significant relationship was found between the perception of organizational justice and its sub-dimensions and the perception of structural and psychological empowerment (p<0.05).
Conclusion: It was determined that the nurses' perceptions of justice and structural empowerment score averages were moderately positive, and their psychological empowerment score averages were above-moderately positive. A positive and moderate relationship was found between the perception of organizational justice and structural empowerment and a positive and weak relationship with psychological empowerment. It is understood that it is important for employees to be strengthened structurally in perceiving their organizations as fairer.

Abstract

Amaç: Hemşirelerin örgütsel adalet ile yapısal ve psikolojik güçlendirme algıları ve aralarındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı ve ilişki arayıcı bir çalışma olarak gerçekleştirilen araştırmanın örneklemini bir kamu hastanesinde çalışan 271 hemşire oluşturdu. Veri toplamada “Bireysel Tanıtım Formu”, “Örgütsel Adalet Algısı Ölçeği”, “Yapısal Güçlendirme Ölçeği” ve “Psikolojik Güçlendirme Ölçeği” kullanıldı. Araştırmanın verileri sayı, yüzde, ortalama, standart sapma, medyan, Cronbach’s Alfa iç tutarlılık katsayısı, Mann Whitney U, Kruskal Wallis, Spearman korelasyon analizleri ile değerlendirildi. Sonuçlar için anlamlılık düzeyi p<0.05 alındı.
Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan hemşirelerin puan ortalamaları örgütsel adalet 2.87±0.59, yapısal güçlendirme 2.88 ±0.67 ve psikolojik güçlendirme 3.74±0.82 olarak bulundu. Örgütsel adalet, işlemsel ve etkileşim adaleti puan ortalamalarının yaşa, mesleki deneyime ve çalışılan birime göre, dağıtım adaleti ve psikolojik güçlendirme algısı puanlarının ise çalışılan birime göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık gösterdiği tespit edildi (p<0.05). Örgütsel adalet algısı ve alt boyutları ile yapısal ve psikolojik güçlendirme algısı arasında anlamlı ilişki bulundu (p<0.05).
Sonuç: Hemşirelerin adalet algıları ve yapısal güçlendirme puan ortalamalarının orta düzeyde olumlu, psikolojik güçlendirme puan ortalamalarının ise orta üstü düzeyde olumlu olduğu değerlendirildi. Örgütsel adalet algısı ile yapısal güçlendirme arasında pozitif yönde ve orta, psikolojik güçlendirme ile ise pozitif yönlü ve zayıf ilişki bulundu. Çalışanların örgütlerini daha adil olarak algılamalarında yapısal olarak güçlendirilmelerinin önemli olduğu anlaşılmaktadır.
