THE MEDIATING ROLE OF JOB CRAFTING BETWEEN WORK ENGAGEMENT AND JOB PERFORMANCE: A RESEARCH ON CRAFTERS

Abstract

Crafts such as jewelry and silver design have been drawn attention as the sectors that have been identified as precious and developing components of art and craft via combining creativity and manual labor. In this regard, it has been seen that there are a limited number of studies examining the mediating role of job crafting between job performance and level of work engagement of crafters who shape the work’s extent, content and structure by their own ways, and execute a job that requires handicraft and craftsmanship, based on skilled labor. From this point of view, the questionnaire has been applied to 129 crafters who are predetermined by convenience sampling method in Mersin within the purpose of contributing practices for the sector and scientific studies in the related field; the data obtained has been analyzed by the quantitative research programme “SPSS 22.0”. As a result of the analysis, it has been identified that the dimensions of work engagement and job crafting have a significant effect on job performance and job crafting has a mediating role between work engagement and job performance.

İŞE BAĞLILIK İLE İŞ PERFORMANSI ARASINDAKİ İLİŞKİDE İŞ ZANAATKÂRLIĞININ ARACILIK ROLÜ: ZANAATKÂRLAR ÜZERİNE BİR ARAŞTIRMA

Abstract

Kuyumculuk, gümüş ve takı tasarımcılığı gibi zanaat alanları, sanat ve zanaat unsurlarını, yaratıcılık ile el emeğini bir araya getirmesiyle gelişim kaydeden ve değerli olarak nitelendirilen sektörler olarak dikkat çekmektedir. Bu anlamda, nitelikli emeğe dayalı, el becerisi ve ustalık gerektiren bir mesleği icra eden; işin kapsamını, içeriğini ve yapısını, kendisine göre şekillendiren zanaatkârların, işe bağlılık düzeyinin, iş performansları ile arasındaki ilişkisinde iş zanaatkârlığının aracılık rolüne ilişkin kısıtlı çalışmanın var olduğu görülmektedir. Buradan hareketle, ilgili alandaki bilimsel çalışmalara ve sektördeki uygulamalara katkı sağlaması amacıyla, Mersin ilinde, kolayda örneklem yoluyla belirlenen 129 zanaatkâr üzerinde anket uygulaması gerçekleştirilmiş olup; elde edilen veriler, “SPSS 22.0” nicel analiz programı vasıtasıyla analiz edilmiştir. Analiz sonucunda ise, işe bağlılığın ve iş zanaatkârlığının alt boyutlarının iş performansı ile arasında anlamlı bir ilişkinin var olduğu ve iş zanaatkârlığının; işe bağlılık ve iş performansı arasındaki ilişkide aracılık rolüne sahip olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
