Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı, Türkiye’de kamu üniversitelerde görev yapan akademisyenlerin psikolojik güvenliğin ve akademik tükenmişliğin işe angaje olma üzerine etkilerini ortaya koymaktır. Araştırmanın evreni, Türkiye’deki kamu üniversitesinde görev yapan öğretim elemanlarıdır. Örneklem, kolayda örnekleme yöntemi ile bu üniversite ve akademisyenlerden ulaşılabilmiş ve anketi yanıtlamış olan 424 akademisyendir. Araştırmada elde edilen verilerin analizleri için SPSS 22.0 programı kullanılmıştır. Araştırma neticesinde psikolojik güvenlik ile işe angaje olma puanları arasında düşük düzeyde pozitif bir ilişki olduğu görülmektedir. Psikolojik güvenlik ile akademik tükenmişlik arasında ise, düşük düzeyde negatif yönlü ilişki olduğu anlaşılmaktadır. Akademik tükenmişlik ile işe angaje olma değişkenleri arasında ise, anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Regresyon analizi sonucuna göre, psikolojik güvenlik işe angaje olmanın anlamlı bir yordayıcısıdır. Bununla birlikte akademik tükenmişlik ise, işe angaje olmanın anlamlı bir yordayıcısı değildir.
