Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, işyeri arkadaşlığı ile örgütsel özdeşleşme arasındaki ilişkide olumlu duyguların aracı etkisinin genişleme ve inşa kuramı çerçevesinde araştırılmasıdır. Bu kapsamda eğitim, sağlık ve bilgi teknolojileri gibi farklı sektörlerde çalışan 205 kişiden veri toplanarak araştırmanın hipotezleri test edilmiştir. Değişkenler arasındaki ilişkiler korelasyon ve hiyerarşik regresyon analizi ile incelenmiştir. Araştırmada aracılık testi için Hayes'in (2013) PROCESS makro programı kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular, işyeri arkadaşlığının örgütsel özdeşleşmeyi anlamlı ve olumlu bir şekilde yordadığını göstermektedir. Buna ek olarak, olumlu duygular ile işyeri arkadaşlığı ve örgütsel özdeşleşme arasında olumlu bir ilişki olduğu bulunmuştur. Son olarak, işyeri arkadaşlığı ile örgütsel özdeşleşme arasındaki ilişkide olumlu duyguların kısmi aracı etkisi bulunmuştur.

Does Workplace Friendship Influence Organizational Identification? The Mediator Role of Positive Affectivity

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the mediator effect of positive affectivity on the relationship between workplace friendship and organizational identification within the framework of the broaden-and-built theory. In this context, data were collected from 205 people working in different sectors such as education, health, and information technologies, and the hypotheses of the research were tested. The relationships between the variables were examined by correlation and hierarchical regression analysis. Hayes's (2013) PROCESS macro program was used for the mediation test in the research. The findings showed that workplace friendship significantly and positively predicts organizational identification. In addition, a positive relationship has been found between positive affectivity and workplace friendship and organizational identification. Finally, positive affectivity was found to partially mediate the relationship between workplace friendship and organizational identification.
