Abstract

A number of innovative human resource management practices aimed at increasing organizational performance through employee performance are called high performance work systems (HPWS). HPWS is an increasingly important issue, especially since it has an impact on organizational financial performance. Organizational commitment is a concept for businesses considering the retention of qualified workforce. In this respect, the purpose of this research is to determine whether HPWS has an effect on organizational commitment. The sample of this study consists of 155 white-collar workers. Correlation and simple linear regression analyzes were used to reveal the relationships between the study variables. As a result, it has been determined that the employee perceptions related to HPWS’ selection of recruitment, training-performance and performance-based wage dimensions statistically meaningful and positively effetcts on organizational commitment.

YÜKSEK PERFORMANSLI İŞ SİSTEMLERİNİN ÖRGÜTE BAĞLILIK ÜZERİNDEKİ ETKİSİNE İLİŞKİN BİR ARAŞTIRMA

Abstract

Örgüt performansını çalışanların performansı aracılığıyla arttırmayı amaçlayan bir dizi yenilikçi İnsan Kaynakları Yönetimi uygulamaları, Yüksek Performanslı İş Sistemleri (YPİS) olarak adlandırılmaktadır. Özellikle örgütsel finansal performans üzerinde etkili olması nedeniyle YPİS, gün geçtikçe önemi artan bir konu olmaktadır. Örgüte bağlılık, nitelikli işgücünün örgütte tutulması bakımından işletmelerin göz ardı etmemesi gereken bir kavramdır. Bu doğrultuda, araştırmanın amacı, YPİS’nin örgüte bağlılık üzerinde etkili olup olmadığını belirlemektir. Araştırmanın örneklemini 155 beyaz yakalı çalışan oluşturmaktadır. Değişkenler arasındaki ilişkileri ortaya çıkarmak için korelasyon ve basit doğrusal regresyon analizlerinden yararlanılmıştır. Yapılan analizler sonucu, çalışanların kurumlarındaki YPİS’ye ilişkin algılarının kapsamlı işe alım, eğitim-geliştirme ve performansa dayalı ücret boyutlarında örgüte bağlılık üzerinde anlamlı ve pozitif yönde etkileri olduğu saptanmıştır.
