KURUMSAL AMAÇLI PSİKOSOSYAL RİSK YÖNETİMİ ÖLÇEĞİ

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, kurumlarda verimliliğin temel belirleyicisi olan performans
ve motivasyonu bireysel özellikler olan problem çözme ve iyilik hali ile birlikte
ölçmeye yarayan bir ölçek geliştirmektir. Bu sorunsalın çözümü için işletmenin temel fonksiyonları olan yönetim organizasyon, insan kaynakları dallarında ve psikoloji bilim dalında çözümler geliştirilmiştir. Ancak burada hedeflenen kurum ve pozisyonları hedef göstermeyen maddelerden oluşacak, böylece yanlı cevaplardan mümkün olduğunca kaçınılacak bir ölçek geliştirmektir. Bu nedenle psikolojinin konusu olan bireye yönelik olgular temel alınmıştır. Bu amaçla, “performans”, “motivasyon”, “problem çözme” ve “iyilik hali” olmak üzere dört boyuttan oluşan bir ölçek oluşturulmuştur. Tekrarlanan geçerlik ve güvenirlik analizleri sonuçları, bu çalışma ile oluşturulan Psikososyal Risk ölçeğinin, yeterli düzeyde psikometrik ve puanlama ile bireyleri ayırım özelliklerine sahip olduğu gösterilmiştir.
