Abstract

Bu çalışmada Psikososyal Güvenlik İklimi kavramı bibliyometrik analiz kullanılarak incelenmektedir. Psikososyal güvenlik iklimi kavramı, çalışanların psikolojik yönden desteklendiği, düşüncelerini özgürce ifade ettikleri örgüt iklimi olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Bu çalışma ortamında çalışanların psikolojik yönleri desteklenerek olumlu örgütsel davranış sergilemeleri beklenmektedir. Günümüz çalışma koşullarında gerek örgüt gerekse de örgüt dışı unsurlardan kaynaklı olan sebeplerle çalışanlardan hem fiziksel hem de psikolojik açıdan fazla çaba göstermeleri talep edilmektedir. Bu fazla talep konusunda çalışanların psikolojik dayanıklılıklarının artırılması oldukça önemli olduğundan, örgütün psikososyal güvenlik iklimine sahip olması zorunlu hale gelmektedir. Bu önem doğrultusunda araştırmada, Web of Science veri tabanı kullanılarak işletme, ekonomi, yönetim ve sosyal bilimler kategorilerinde yayınlanan 404 yayın incelenmiştir. Analizde öğeler veya kavramlar arasındaki ilişkiyi aralarındaki mesafe ile açıklayan bir analiz olanağı sunan VOSviewer yazılımı (sürüm 1.6.18) kullanılmıştır. Yazılım ile araştırma kavramı konusunda ağ haritaları elde edilmiş ve yayınlar arasındaki ilişkiler ortaya konulmuştur. Psikososyal güvenlik iklimi kavramı üzerine yapılan ve bibliyometrik veri analizine dayanan bu araştırmada elde edilen sonuçların, gelecekte yapılacak çalışmalara yön vermesi beklenmektedir.

Bibliometric analysis of the concept of psychosocial safety climate

Abstract

In this study, the concept of Psychosocial Safety Climate is examined using bibliometric analysis. The psychosocial safety climate is defined as an organizational climate in which employees are psychologically supported and express their thoughts freely. In this working environment, employees are required to exhibit positive organizational behavior by supporting their psychological aspects. In today's working conditions, employees are demanded to make more effort both physically and psychologically due to reasons arising from both organizational and non-organizational factors. Since it is very important to increase the psychological resilience of employees in the face of this excessive demand, it becomes essential for the organization to foster a psychosocial safety climate. In line with this importance, 404 publications published in the categories of business, economics, management and social sciences were analyzed using the Web of Science database. VOSviewer software (version 1.6.18), which provides an analysis that explains the relationship between items or concepts based on the distance between them, was used in the analysis. With the software, network maps were obtained regarding the research concept and the relationships between publications were revealed. The results obtained in this research on the psychosocial safety climate based on bibliometric data analysis are expected to guide future studies.
