İş karakteristiklerinin bireysel iş performansı üzerindeki etkisini belirlemeye yönelik sağlık çalışanları üzerinde bir araştırma

Öz

Bu araştırmanın amacı, iş karakteristiklerinin bireysel iş performansı üzerindeki etkisini özellikle sağlık çalışanları açısından belirlemektir. Zor şartlar altında çalışan sağlık personelinin hangi performans türü üzerinde hangi iş karakteristiğinin etkili olduğu önemli bir bilgidir. Araştırmada veri toplama yöntemi olarak anket tekniğinden yararlanılmıştır. Araştırma, kamu ve özel hastanelerden tesadüfi olarak seçilen 527 katılımcı ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Açıklayıcı faktör analizi ve çoklu doğrusal regresyon analizi sonuçlarına göre; iş karakteristiklerinin alt boyutlarından işin kimliği ve arkadaşlığın bireysel iş performansının tüm alt boyutlarını pozitif yönde etkilediği görülmüştür. Ayrıca özerkliğin zarar verici iş davranışını negatif yönde etkilediği, geri bildirimin görev performansını pozitif yönde etkilediği, beceri çeşitliliğinin ise görev ve içerik performansını pozitif yönde etkilediği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
