Abstract

Nowadays, enterprises state that one of the most important factors in creating a competitive advantage is qualified human resources; they aim to bring their employees, who care about their job satisfaction and happiness, in their institutions for long years. The fact that employees are highly satisfied with their jobs depends on their ability to identify their expectations and needs, their behavioral and cognitive characteristics. An individual's behavioral and cognitive characteristics as well as one of the important factors affecting the expectations and needs are individual's values. Therefore, the correct determination of the values depends on the positive contribution of the employees to their interaction, choices and work outcomes. In this study, by determining the business values of clinical and laboratory workers in the field of assisted reproductive techniques in the health sector, the mediation effect of leader-member interaction is questioned in relation to job values and job satisfaction. The relationships between the variables were analyzed by establishing two different serial mediation models and as a result of the relationship between business values and job satisfaction, it was seen that the mediator variables affecting the leader-member interaction were also related to each other.

İŞ DEĞERLERİ VE İŞ TATMİNİ İLİŞKİSİNDE LİDER ÜYE ETKİLEŞİMİNİN ARDIŞIK ARACILIK MODELİ

Abstract

Günümüzde işletmeler, rekabet avantajı yaratmada en önemli etkenlerden birini nitelikli insan kaynağı olarak ifade ederken; iş tatmini ve mutluluklarını önemsedikleri çalışanlarını, uzun yıllar kurumlarında bağlılıkla tutundurmayı hedeflerler. Çalışanların işlerinden yüksek seviyede tatmin olmaları ise, onların beklenti ve ihtiyaçlarını, davranışsal ve bilişsel özelliklerini doğru tespit edebilmelerine bağlıdır. Bir bireyin davranışsal ve bilişsel özelliklerinin yanı sıra beklenti ve ihtiyaçlarını etkileyen önemli unsurlardan biri ise bireyin değerleridir. Bu sebeple, değerlerin doğru biçimde tespiti çalışanların karşılıklı etkileşimine, seçimlerine ve iş çıktılarına olumlu olarak katkıda bulunabilmelerine bağlıdır. Bu çalışmada sağlık sektöründe yardımcı üreme teknikleri alanında hizmet veren klinik ve laboratuvar çalışanlarının sahip oldukları iş değerlerini belirleyerek, iş değerleri ve iş tatmini ilişkisinde lider-üye etkileşiminin aracılık etkisini sorgulanmaktadır. Değişkenler arasındaki ilişkiler iki farklı ardışık aracılık modeli kurularak analiz edilmiş ve bunun bir sonucu olarak iş değerleri ve iş tatmini arasındaki ilişki açısından değerlendirildiğinde, lider-üye etkileşimine etki eden aracı değişkenlerin de kendi aralarında ilişkili olduğu görülmüştür.
