organizational identification of employees’ bring back various positive

behavior variables in the organization. Organizational cynicism and
Organizational dissent are located in these attitudes and behaviors.

identification with other organizational negative behavioral varibles.

standard deviation and correlation. As a result of analysis, between
organizational identification and both organizational cynicism and
organizational dissent, there is a correlation which is established as
moderately and reverse direction.

ÖRGÜTSEL ÖZDEŞLEŞMENİN ÖRGÜTSEL SİNİZM VE ÖRGÜTSEL MUHALEFET İLE İLİŞKİSİ: GÖRGÜL BİR ARAŞTIRMA

Abstract

Örgütsel özdeşleşme, çalışanın örgütüne karşı hissettiği aidiyet
duygusunun bir ifadesidir. Çalışanların örgütsel özdeşleşme düzeylerinin
yüksek olması birçok olumlu tutum ve davranışlar üzerinde etkili
olurken düşük olması ise istenmeyen davranışların gelişmesine sebep
olmaktadır. Örgütsel sinizm ve örgütsel muhalefet bu tutum ve
davranışlar içerisinde yer almaktadır. Bu çalışma örgütsel özdeşleşmenin
diğer olumsuz davranış değişkenler ile ilişkisini ölçmeyi
amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmanın örneklemi, Ankara’da bulunan bir kurumda
memur kadrosu ile çalışan 161 kişiden meydana gelmektedir. Ölçme
teknikleri olarak daha önce başka türkçe çalışmalarda kullanılmış olan
ölçekler kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada veriler yüz yüze anket tekniği ile
toplanmış ve bu veriler SPSS 22 programına girilmiştir. Veriler;
ortalama, standart sapma, korelasyon vb. istatistiki teknikler ile
çözümlenmiştir. Analiz sonucunda ise örgütsel özdeşleşme ile hem
örgütsel sinizm hem örgütsel muhalefet ile arasında ortalama derecede ve
negatif taraflı korelasyon bulunmuştur.
