İşe tutkunluğun, yapısal güçlendirme, örgütsel özdeşleşme ve hedeflerin içselleştirilmesi yoluyla geliştirilmesi

Abstract

Amacımız, araştırmamızın odak noktası olan işe tutkunluk  pozitif ruh halinin güdüsel bir süreç olarak gelişmesinde etkili olan faktörleri incelemektir. Çalışmamızda işe tutkunluk düzeyini yordayacağını düşündüğümüz yapısal güçlendirme, örgütle özdeşleşme ve hedefi içselleştirme arasındaki ilişkileri incelemeyi amaçladık. 260 MBA öğrencisinden elde edilen verilerin analizi yapısal güçlendirme olarak kavramsallaştırılan fırsat, destek, bilgi, kaynaklara ulaşım, biçimsel ve biçimsel olmayan güç yönetsel uygulamalarının, örgüte yönelik birlik ve aidiyet algılarını arttırdığını göstermiştir.  Kendilerini örgütleriyle sosyal anlamda özdeşleştiren çalışanlar örgütün hedeflerini içselleştirmekte yani enerjilerini örgütün amaçlarına ulaşması yönünde yoğunlaştırma istekleri artmaktadır. Örgütsel ve bireysel hedeflerin uyumlu hale gelmesi sonucunda ise, çalışanların işe tutkunluk düzeyleri artmaktadır. Araştırmamızın sonuçları, örgütlerin çalışanlarına etkin çalışma koşulları sunmasının önemine dikkat çekmektedir.

Enhancing job engagement through structural empowerment, organizational identification and goal internalization

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine those factors which lead to job engagement- a positive mood- to emerge as a motivational process. We aimed to investigate the relationships among structural empowerment, organizational identification and goal internalization which, we assumed, would predict job engagement. Data were collected from a sample of 260 MBA students. The provision of structural empowerment practices, namely opportunity, support, information, having access to resources, formal and informal power were shown to increase the employees’ sense of belongingness to and identifying with their organizations, which, in turn, led to increased levels of goal internalization and a high desire to focus their energies to reach the goals. As a result of compatible organizational and individual goals, employees’ job engagement increased. The overall results of our study emphasizes the importance of providing effective work conditions.
