Abstract

Bu araştırmanın hedefi, muhasebeciler arasındaki personel devir hızı fenomenini anlamak ve ortaya koymak için, muhasebe firmalarında bağımlı olarak çalışan muhasebe meslek mensuplarının (mesleki stajyer, SM ve SMMM) örgütsel adalete ilişkin algılamalarının, iş memnuniyeti ve işten ayrılma niyetinin oluşumundaki rolünü araştırmaktır. Örgütsel adalet, dağıtımsal ve prosedürel adalet alt boyutları ile incelenmiştir. Bu araştırma için Türkiye’nin çeşitli coğrafi bölgelerinde çalışan ve rassal olarak seçilmiş 240 muhasebeciden anket yolu ile elde edilen verinin analizi sonucunda ulaşılan bulgulara göre; 1) prosedürel adalet algısı arttıkça, muhasebecilerin iş memnuniyetleri artmakta, buna karşın işten ayrılma eğilimleri azalmaktadır ve 2) iş memnuniyeti arttıkça, muhasebecilerin işten ayrılma eğilimleri azalmaktadır
