Algılanan Dışsal Prestijin Duygusal Emek Üzerindeki Etkisinde Örgütsel Özdeşleşmenin Aracılık Rolü: Konaklama İşletmelerinde Bir Araştırma

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, konaklama işletmelerindeki işgörenlerin dışsal prestij algılarının sergiledikleri duygusal emek üzerindeki etkisinde örgütsel özdeşleşmenin aracılık rolünü ortaya koymaktır. Nevşehir ilinde bulunan turizm işletme belgeli dört ve beş yıldızlı konaklama işletmelerinde çalışan 506 işgören alan araştırmasına dâhil edilmiştir. Araştırmada kullanılan veriler, işgörenlere uygulanan anket yöntemi ile toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizi için merkezi eğilim ölçüleri, doğrulayıcı faktör analizi, korelasyon analizi ve yapısal eşitlik modellemesi gibi istatistiksel analiz yöntemleri kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgulara göre, grup içi özdeşleşmenin duygusal çelişki üzerinde tam aracılık, duygusal çaba üzerinde ise kısmi aracılık etkisi bulunmaktadır. Son olarak, ulaşılan bulguların örgütsel ortamlarda doğurabileceği sonuçlar değerlendirilerek, gerek araştırmacılara gerekse yöneticilere birtakım önerilerde bulunulmuştur.
