The Effect of Organizational Cynicism Perception on Organizational Trust

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of organizational cynicism (OC) on organizational trust (OT) among healthcare workers. In addition, differences in OC and OT levels according to demographic variables (gender, age, profession, and marital status) were analyzed. This study was conducted using a quantitative research designThe sample of the study consisted of 347 healthcare workers. SPSS 25 and SmartPLS software programs were used for data analysis. Descriptive statistics, independent samples t-tests, ANOVA, and structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) analyses were performed. Normality assumptions were tested using skewness and kurtosis values. The effect of OC on OT was examined through path analysis. The structural equation modeling results revealed that OC had a strong and significant negative effect on OT (β = -0.895, p < 0.001). This finding indicates that as OC increases, OT decreases.

Örgütsel Sinizim Algısının Örgütsel Güvene Etkisi

Abstract

Bu çalışma, sağlık çalışanları örnekleminde örgütsel sinizmin örgütsel güven üzerindeki etkisini incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Araştırmada ayrıca demografik değişkenler (cinsiyet, yaş, meslek ve medeni durum) açısından örgütsel sinizm ve örgütsel güven düzeylerindeki farklılıklar da analiz edilmiştir. Bu çalışma nicel araştırma deseniyle yürütülmüştür. Araştırmanın örneklemini toplam 347 sağlık çalışanı oluşturmaktadır. Verilerin analizinde SPSS 25 ve SmartPLS paket programı kullanılmış; betimleyici istatistikler, t-testi, ANOVA ve yapısal eşitlik modeli (PLS-SEM) analizleri gerçekleştirilmiştir. Normallik varsayımları çarpıklık ve basıklık değerleri ile test edilmiştir. Örgütsel sinizmin örgütsel güven üzerindeki etkisi yol analizi ile incelenmiştir. Yapısal eşitlik modeli sonuçları, örgütsel sinizmin örgütsel güven üzerinde güçlü ve anlamlı bir negatif etkiye sahip olduğunu göstermektedir (β = -0,895; p < 0,001). Bu bulgu, örgütsel sinizm arttıkça örgütsel güvenin azaldığını ortaya koymaktadır.
