rekabet koşulları içerisinde örgütlerin faaliyetlerine devam edebilmesi önemli
bir başarı olarak görülmektedir. Bu başarıyı devam ettirebilmek için örgütlerin
proaktif, işlerine öncelik tanıyan ve kendilerini işlerine adayan yüksek
performanslı çalışanlara ihtiyacı vardır. İşe adanmışlık çalışanların
enerjilerini işlerine vermesi ve işlerini tutkuyla yapmalarıdır. Örgütlerde yer
alan iş özellikleri işe adanmışlığı sağlayacak uygulamalar gerektirmektedir.
Örgütlerde yapılan işlerin özellikleri çalışanların işe adanmışlıklarını ve
işten ayrılma niyetlerini etkileyebilmektedir. Bu çalışma, iş özellikleri, işe
adanmışlık ve işten ayrılma niyeti ilişkilerini inceleyecektir. Bu amaca göre
değişkenlerle ilgili ifadeler ankete dönüştürülerek bir imalat işletmesinde
uygulanmıştır. Geliştirilen model SEM-PLS metodu ile test edilmiştir.
Geliştirilen modelde geçerlilik ve güvenirlik analizleri yapılmıştır. Yapılan
analiz sonucunda iş özelliklerinin işe adanmışlığa olan etkisi ve işe
adanmışlığın ise işten ayrılma niyeti üzerine etkisi anlamlı bulunmuştur.

Mediation role of work engagement on the impact of job characteristics on intention to leave

Abstract

The ability of
organizations to continue their activities in today's economic competition
conditions is seen as an important achievement. In order to sustain this
success, organizations need proactive, high-performance employees who
prioritize and devote themselves to their jobs. Work engagement is that
employees give their energy to their work and do their work passionately. Job
characteristics in organizations require practices that will ensure engagement in
the job. The characteristics of the job done in organizations can affect the
employees' dedication and intention to leave. This study will examine the
relationship between job characteristics, commitment to work, and intention to
leave. For this purpose, the expressions about the variables were converted
into a questionnaire and applied in a manufacturing firm. The developed model
was tested with the SEM-PLS method. In the developed model, validity and
reliability analyses were performed. As a result of the analysis, the effect of
job characteristics on the engagement to the job and the effect of the
commitment on the intention to leave were significant.
