Abstract

Örgütlerde kararsızlık üzerine yapılmış çalışma sayısı son yıllarda gittikçe artmaya başlamış olmakla birlikte, özdeşleşme kararsızlığına odaklanan araştırmaların halen sınırlı sayıda olduğu görülmektedir. Literatürdeki bu boşluğu doldurmak amacıyla, bu çalışmada kararsız özdeşleşmenin proaktif iş davranışlarına etkisi ve psikolojik rahatlığın bu ilişkideki aracı rolü incelenmiştir. Araştırma hipotezlerini test etmek amacıyla, Türkiye’de çalışmakta olan 452 akademisyenden anket yöntemi ile veri toplanmış olup, analiz sonuçları kararsız özdeşleşmenin proaktif iş davranışlarını negatif etkilediğini ve psikolojik rahatlığın iki değişken arasındaki ilişkide aracılık rolü oynadığını göstermiştir.

What if I Feel Ambivalent? The Role of Psychological Safety on the Relationship between Ambivalent Identification and Proactive Work Behaviors

Abstract

Although the concept of organizational ambivalence has recently attracted considerable interest, there is still limited research focusing on ambivalence in organizational identification. In order to fill this gap in the literature, this study examined the impact of ambivalent identification on proactive work behaviors and the intervening role of psychological safety in this relationship. The study hypotheses were tested using data collected from 452 academicians working in Turkey. The results revealed that ambivalent identification negatively influenced proactive work behaviors and that the relationship between the two constructs was mediated by psychological safety.
