Abstract

Amaç: Bu araştırma, bir kamu hastanesinde çalışan sağlık personelinin algılanan aşırı vasıflılık düzeylerinin işten ayrılma niyetlerine etkisinin incelenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Yöntem: Niceliksel olarak tasarlanan bu araştırma için örneklem Afyonkarahisar ilinde bir kamu hastanesinde aktif olarak görev yapmakta olan sağlık çalışanlarından seçilmiştir. İlgili örnekleme ulaşmak ve araştırmaya veri sağlamak amacıyla kolayda örnekleme yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın verileri, “Kişisel Bilgi Formu”, “Algılanan Aşırı Vasıflılık Ölçeği” ve “İşten Ayrılma Niyeti Ölçeği” kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde betimleyici istatistiklerle birlikte Pearson korelasyon ve regresyon analizi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Araştırma bulgularında, katılımcıların işten ayrılma niyeti düzeylerinin düşük olduğu (2.02±1.03) ve algılanan aşırı vasıflılık düzeylerinin ise orta düzeyde olduğu (3.27±0.74) belirlenmiştir. Sağlık çalışanlarının algılanan aşırı vasıflılık düzeylerinin işten ayrılma niyetleri üzerinde anlamlı bir etkisinin bulunmadığı saptanmıştır. Sonuç: Sağlık çalışanın kendisini vasıflı olarak algılamasının işinden ayrılmaya niyetlenmesi bakımından yeterli olmadığı söylenebilir. Araştırma, incelenen sorunsal ve ulaşılan sonuçlar bakımından özgün bir nitelik taşımaktadır. Farklı örneklemlerle konunun yeniden ele alınması ve farklı değişkenlerle incelenmesi önerilmektedir.

Abstract

Aim: This study was conducted to examine the effect of perceived overqualification levels on turnover intentions among healthcare personnel working in a public hospital. Method: For this quantitatively designed research, the sample was selected from health care professionals actively working in a public hospital in Afyonkarahisar province. The convenience sampling method was used to reach the relevant sample and to provide data for the research. The data of the study were collected by using ‘Personal Information Form’, ‘Perceived Overqualification Scale’ and ‘Turnover Intention Scale’. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse the data, along with Pearson correlation and regression analysis. Results: In the research findings, it was determined that participants’ intention to to leave their jobs was was low (2.02±1.03) and their perceived overqualification level was moderate (3.27±0.74). Perceived overqualification levels of health care workers were found to have no significant effect on their turnover intentions. Conclusion: It can be concluded that healthcare workers' self-perception of themselves as qualified is not sufficient to determine their intention to leave their jobs.The research is unique in terms of the problematic analysed and the results obtained. It is suggested that the issue should be re-examined with different samples and examined with different variables.
