Abstract

İş hayatı başladıktan sonra çocukluktan erişkinliğe kadar kişisel ve sosyal olarak kazanılan yetkinliklerin önemli olduğu görülmektedir. Örgütler sahip olduğu insan kaynağının yetkinlikleriyle açık sistem yapılarında kaliteli bir örgütsel iletişim ağı elde ederek rekabet üstünlüğü elde edebilir. Bireylerin sosyal ve duygusal yetkinliklerini ifade eden duygusal zekâ temelli duygusal sermaye, örgütlerin varlığını devam ettirebilmesi için örgütlerde geliştirilmesi, ağlarını genişletebilmesi ve insan gücü yeteneğinin kullanılabilmesi açısından dikkate alınmalıdır. Çalışanların yetkinliklerini ifade eden duygusal sermayenin araştırılmasının ve geliştirilmesinin kurumlar açısından önemli olduğu düşünülmektedir. Bu çalışmada çalışanların cinsiyet değişkeni açısından duygusal sermayelerinde farklılaşma olup olmadığı araştırılmıştır. Veriler kamu, özel ve sağlık sektörü çalışanlarından elde edilmek üzere anket yöntemi ile toplanmıştır. 619 çalışandan toplanan veriler araştırmaya dahil edilmiştir. Çalışanların duygusal sermaye seviyelerini belirlemek amacıyla Newman, Purse,, Smith & Broderick (2015) tarafından geliştirilen 30 maddeli ölçek kullanılmıştır. Likert tipi ölçekle toplanan veriler SPSS ve Amos paket programları ile analiz edilmiştir. Yapılan T-testi sonucu cinsiyet değişkeni açısından araştırma grubunun duygusal sermayesinde anlamlı farklılaşma tespit edilmiştir. Araştırma kapsamında belirlenen hipotez yeterli kanıtla doğrulanmıştır. Duygusal sermaye ile ilgili ulusal ve uluslararası yazında sınırlı bilgiye ulaşılmıştır. Araştırmanın literatürdeki boşluğa katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.
