Perakende Sektöründe Sendikalı ve Sendikasız İşçilerin Adalet(Sizlik) Algıları ve Sendikacılık Bağlamında Bir Tartışma

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, perakende sektöründe faaliyet gösteren sendikalı ve sendikasız iki işletmede çalışan toplam 226 işçinin adalet algısı düzeyini göstermek ve sendikalı-sendikasız olma durumuna göre adalet algısı düzeylerinin değişip değişmediğini tespit etmektir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda geliştirilen adalet algısı ölçeğinin gayet güvenilir ve geçerli bir ölçek olduğu yapılan faktör analizi ve güvenirlik analizi sonrası ortaya çıkmıştır. Bulgular işçilerin yüksek bir adaletsizlik düzeyinde olduklarını ve bu düzeyin sendikalı ve sendikasız olma durumuna göre değişmediğini ortaya çıkarmıştır. Çalışmanın sonunda, yüksek adaletsizlik düzeyinin sendikasız işçilerin örgütlenmesi için sendikalara bazı fırsatlar sunduğu iddia edilmekte fakat sendikalı olan işçilerin çalışma koşullarının iyileştirilmesi ile ilgili de sendikaların alması gereken ciddi önlemler olduğu vurgulanmaktadır.
