Abstract

Bu çalışmada istismar edici yönetici davranışının mental ve fiziksel sağlık problemlerine etkisinde iş stresinin aracılık rolü araştırılmıştır. Kaynakların Korunması Teorisinin dayanak oluşturduğu araştırmamız, ast ve üst arasındaki güç mesafesinin yüksek olduğu Türkiye’nin 56 ilinde çalışan 401 emniyet teşkilatı personelinden elde edilen bulgular ışığında değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırmamızın bulgularında, üstler tarafından uygulanan istismar edici davranışlarının astların iş stresi ve fiziksel sağlık ve mental sağlık sorunları arasında aracılık etkisine sahip olduğu bulunmuştur. Bu doğrultuda, çalışmamız istismar edici davranışa sürekli maruz kalmanın çalışanlarda yarattığı sağlık problemleri noktasında literatüre katkıda bulunmaktadır.

CAN MY SUPERVISOR MAKE ME ILL? THE EFFECTS OF ABUSIVE SUPERVISION ON THE HEALTH OF THE EMPLOYEES

Abstract

In this study, the mediating role of job stress in the effect of abusive managerial behavior on mental and physical health problems was investigated. Our research, on which the Conservation of Resources Theory (COR) is based, has been evaluated in the light of the findings obtained from 401 law enforcement personnel working in 56 provinces of Turkey where the power distance between subordinates and superiors is high. In the findings of our study, it was found that abusive behaviors by superiors had a mediating effect between subordinates' job stress and physical and mental health problems. In this direction, our study contributes to the literature on the health problems caused by continuous exposure to abusive behavior in employees.
