Öğrenme Odaklılığın Yaşam Tatmini Üzerindeki Etkisinde İş Zanaatkârlığının Aracılık Rolü: Banka Yöneticileri Üzerinde Bir Araştırma

Abstract

Günümüzün yoğun rekabetçi iş ortamında yenilikçilik ve öğrenme odaklılık sürdürülebilirlik açısından önemli olabilmektedir. Ayrıca, yaşam tatmini düzeyleri yüksek olan bireyler hem kendilerini hem de çevrelerini daha olumlu değerlendirebilmektedirler. İş zanaatkârlığı ise işgörenlerin yaptıkları değişiklikler aracılığıyla hem bireye hem de örgüte yönelik olumlu sonuçlar elde etmek amacıyla sergilenebilmektedir. Bu doğrultuda çalışmada, öğrenme odaklılığın yaşam tatmini üzerindeki etkisinin incelenmesi ve bu etki üzerinde iş zanaatkârlığının rolünün incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırma amacı çerçevesinde kolayda örnekleme yoluyla, Güney Marmara bölgesindeki Balıkesir, Bilecik, Bursa, Çanakkale ve Yalova illerinde kamu ve özel sektörde çalışan 480 banka yöneticisine anket uygulanarak veriler toplanmıştır. Elde edilen veriler açıklayıcı ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizleri, korelasyon analizi ve yapısal eşitlik modeli aracılığıyla değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışma bulguları kapsamında, öğrenme odaklılığın yaşam tatminini pozitif yönde ve anlamlı olarak etkilediği ve bu etkide iş zanaatkârlığının da kısmi aracılık etkisi tespit edilmiştir.

The Mediation Effect of Job Crafting on the Effect of Learning Orientation on Life Satisfaction: A Research on Bank Managers

Abstract

In today's intensely competitive business environment, innovation and learning orientation can be important for sustainability. In addition, individuals with high levels of life satisfaction can evaluate both themselves and their environment more positively. Job crafting, on the other hand, can be exhibited in order to obtain positive results for both individual and the organization through the changes made by the employees. In this direction, it is aimed to examine the effect of learning orientation on life satisfaction and to examine the role of job crafting on this effect. Within the framework of the research purpose, data were collected by applying a questionnaire to 480 bank managers working in the public and private sectors in Balıkesir, Bilecik, Bursa, Çanakkale and Yalova provinces in the Southern Marmara region by means of convenience sampling. The data obtained were evaluated through explanatory and confirmatory factor analyses, correlation analysis and structural equation modeling. Within the scope of the study findings, it was determined that learning orientation affects life satisfaction positively and significantly, and there is a partial mediation role of job crafting in this effect.
