Three hundered-twenty academic staff participated in the study, on a voluntary basis (250 male and 70 female). In this study, the organizational commitment questionnaire developed by Allen and Meyer (1991) and run through for validity and reliability in a study by Wasti (2001) was used for data collection. Along with this, an organizational justice questionnaire which was developed by Niehoff ve Moorman (1993) and run through for validity and reliability in a study by Gürbüz and Mert (2009) was also used. In order to analyze the data, both One- Way ANOVA and the Independent t-test were used for determining significant difference between dependent and indepentent variables. Pearson correlation analyze was also used to determine the relationship among dependent variables. The results show that there were significant differences between organizational commitment and perceived organizational justice in terms of age and position rather than gender, marital status and tenure. It also found there to be a relationship between organizational commitment and organizational justice as a result of correlation analyze.

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı Türkiye’nin çeşitli üniversitelerin beden eğitimi ve spor yüksekokulları ile spor bilimleri fakültelerinde görev yapan akademik personelin kurumlarına olan bağlılıklarını ve kurum içerisinde algıladıkları adaletin incelenmesi ile örgütsel bağlılık ve algılanan örgütsel adalet arasındaki ilişkinin belirlenmesidir. Çalışmaya toplam 320 akademisyen gönüllü olarak katılmıştır (250 Erkek- 70 Kadın). Çalışmada veri toplama aracı olarak, Allen ve Meyer (1991) tarafından geliştirilen ve Wasti (2001) tarafından geçerlilik güvenirlilik çalışması yapılan örgütsel bağlılık envanteri ile Niehoff ve Moorman (1993) tarafından geliştirilen ve Gürbüz ile Mert (2009) tarafından geçerlilik güvenirlilik analizi yapılan örgütsel adalet envanteri kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizi aşamasında bağımlı değişkenler ile bağımsız değişkenler arasındaki ilişkiye bakmak için tek yönlü varyans analizi (ANOVA) ve bağımsız değişkenler t-testi ve bağımlı değişkenler arasındaki ilişki belirlemek için ise Pearson momentler çarpımı korelasyon analizi uygulanmıştır. Analiz sonuçlarına göre akademik personelin örgütsel bağlılık ve örgütsel adalet algıları yaş ve unvan değişkenine göre istatiksel olarak farklılaşırken, cinsiyet, medeni hal ve çalışma süresi değişkenlerine göre ise farklılık göstertmemektedir. Ayrıca korelasyon analizi sonucuna göre de örgütsel bağlılık ile örgütsel adalet arasında pozitif ilişki olduğu belirlenmiştir.
