Abstract

Personnel empowerment and organizational commitment have received significant attention as a management strategy critical to improving organizational effectiveness. This study aims to reveal the effects of personnel empowerment on organizational commitment in the case of Somali commercial banks. In line with the established research objectives, a cross-sectional research design was used to collect data through a quantitative survey. The study targeted employees in managerial positions at 13 commercial banks in Somalia and collected data from 264 managers working at headquarters and branches of the selected banks. Following the reliability analysis, the research employed linear and multiple regression analyses to examine the relationships among the research variables. The study found that personnel empowerment has significant positive effects on organizational commitment. Based on the result of personnel empowerment dimensions the findings reveal that meaning, autonomy, and impact dimensions have a significant positive on affective commitment, and conversely the competence dimension shows a negative effect. Likewise, meaning and autonomy demonstrate a statistically significant positive relationship with continuance commitment. However, competence and impact dimensions show a positive effect that is not statistically significant. the study found that none of the dimensions of personnel empowerment showed significant effects on normative commitment.

Personel güçlendirmenin örgütsel bağlılık üzerindeki etkisi: Somali ticari bankaları örneği

Abstract

Personel güçlendirme ve örgütsel bağlılık, örgütsel etkinliğin artırılmasında kritik öneme sahip bir yönetim stratejisi olarak önemli ilgi görmüştür. Bu çalışma, Somali ticari bankaları örneğinde personel güçlendirmenin örgütsel bağlılık üzerindeki etkisini ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır. Tanımlanan araştırma hedefleri doğrultusunda, nicel bir yaklaşım kullanılarak anket yoluyla toplanan veri kesitsel bir araştırma tasarımı kullanılmıştır. Çalışma, Somali'deki 13 ticari bankada yönetici pozisyonundaki bireylere odaklanmış ve bankaların hem genel merkezinde hem de şubelerinde çalışan 264 yöneticiden veri toplamıştır. Araştırma değişkenleri arasındaki ilişkileri incelemek için doğrusal ve çoklu regresyon analizleri kullanılmıştır. Çalışma, personel güçlendirmenin örgütsel bağlılık üzerinde anlamlı pozitif etkileri olduğunu ortaya koymştur. Elde edilen bulgular personel güçlendirme boyutlarıdan, anlamlılık, özerklik ve etki boyutunun duygusal bağlılık üzerinde anlamlı pozitif etkiye sahip olduğunu ve tersine yeterlilik boyutunun negatif bir etki gösterdiğini ortaya koymaktadır. Benzer şekilde; anlamlılık ve özerklik, devam bağlılığı ile istatistiksel olarak anlamlı pozitif bir ilişki göstermektedir. Ancak, yeterlilik ve etki boyutu, istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olmayan pozitif bir etki göstermektedir. Çalışmada, personel güçlendirmenin hiçbir boyutu normatif bağlılık üzerinde anlamlı etki ortaya koymamaktadır.
