Abstract

The term psychological contract could
be referred to as tacit anticipation, pledges, and responsibilities between employees
and employers in the organization whereas, innovative work behavior is the
creation and implementation of new ideas consciously in order to benefit from a
business role, group or organization. This study aims to investigate the
perception of psychological contract and how it relates to innovative work
behavior in diverse organizations. A qualitative method of content analysis and
quantitative method of structural equation modelling were utilized. Data was
collected through sampling of 122 employees using questionnaire and additional
6 who were interviewed. The results demonstrated that even though as a term
psychological contract has not been known by respondents, they all agree about
the presence of a psychological contract in their organization. On the other hand,
positive impact of relational contract on innovative work behaviour was
supported by results of this study.

Abstract

Psikolojik sözleşme terimi, kurumdaki
çalışanlar ve işverenler arasındaki zımni beklenti, taahhüt ve sorumluluklar
olarak adlandırılabilir, yenilikçi iş davranışı ise, ticari rol, grup veya
kuruluştan yararlanmak için bilinçli olarak yeni fikirlerin yaratılması ve
uygulanmasıdır. Bu çalışma psikolojik sözleşme algısını ve bunun farklı
organizasyonel ortamlarda yenilikçi iş davranışı ile ilişkisini incelemeyi
amaçlamaktadır. Nitel bir içerik analizi yöntemi ve kantitatif yapısal eşitlik
modelleme yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Veriler anket kullanılarak ve ankete katılan
6 kişiden oluşan bir örnekleme ile toplanmıştır. Sonuçlar, çalışanlar
psikolojik sözleşme kavramını bilmemelerine rağmen, örgütlerinde psikolojik bir
sözleşmenin var olduğu konusunda hemfikir olduklarını belirtmişlerdir. Diğer
taraftan, sonuçlar ilişkisel sözleşmenin yenilikçi iş davranışı üzerindeki
olumlu etkisini desteklemiştir.
