Abstract

 Amaç : Bu
çalışmada, kişilik faktörleri, değerler ve kariyer hedefleri değişkenleri ele
alınarak işkolikliğin bu bireysel öncellerle ilişkisinin incelenmesi
amaçlanmıştır.

Tasarım/Yöntem: Araştırmaya
ait veriler niceliksel araştırma yöntemleriyle ve kolayda örneklem yoluyla
İstanbul'da farklı sektörlerde faaliyet gösteren işletmelerin 294 beyaz yakalı
çalışanından elde edilmiştir. Toplanan anketlere tanımlayıcı istatistik,
korelasyon,  regresyon  ve aracı değişken analizleri ile Sobel testi
uygulanmıştır.

Sonuçlar: ‘Nevrotiklik’  kişilik faktörünün işkolikliğin iki boyutu
olan aşırı ve kompulsif çalışmayı yordadığı ve ayrıca, ‘güvenlik’ değerinin
işkolikliğin kompulsif çalışma boyutu üzerinde anlamlı bir etkisi olduğu
bulunmuştur. Kariyer hedeflerinin ise işkoliklik boyutları üzerinde beklenen
etkisi doğrulanmadığı için ara değişken etkisi olmadığı ortaya konmuştur.

Özgün Değer: İşkoliğin kişisel ve motivasyonel öncelleri üzerine   araştırmalar sınırlıdır. Bu çalışma, bu
eksikliği hedef alarak, işkolikliğin bireysel (beş faktör kişilik özellikleri) ve
motivasyonel (kariyer hedefleri ve değerler) öncelleriyle ilişkisini
inceleyerek güncel literatüre katkıda bulunmayı amaçlamıştır.

Personality, Values and Career Concerns as the Possible Antecedents of Workaholism

Abstract

Objective of the study: The aim
of this study is to analyze personality factors, values and career concerns as
individual antecedents of workaholism.

Design and Methodolgy: Data were collected through a survey with a
cross-sectional design. Based on convenience sampling, 294 white-collar employees
working in different companies that belong to different sectors completed the
questionnaire. To analyze the data; descriptive statistics, Pearson
coefficient, regression and mediation analyses as well as the Sobel test were
applied.

Findings: Analyses showed that, there is a positive
relationship between the ‘neuroticism’ personality factor and the two factors
of workaholism which are working excessively and working compulsively.
Moreover, the ‘security’ value also had a positive relationship with working
compulsively.  However, despite what was
expected, career concerns didn’t have a mediating effect between personality
factors, values and workaholism.

Originality: Research regarding the personal and motivational  antecedents 
of workaholism is scarce. This study aims to fulfill this gap by
analyzing both individual (personality factors) and motivational (career concerns
and   values) antecedents of this
concept.
