PSİKOLOJİK YILDIRMANIN ÖRGÜTSEL STRESE VE ÇALIŞAN DAVRANIŞINA ETKİSİ: ANTALYA ALAN ARAŞTIRMASI

Abstract

Çalışma yaşamında çalışma koşullarını etkileyen birçok faktör bulunmaktadır. Psikolojik yıldırma da günümüz çalışma koşullarını doğrudan etkileyen bir yapıya sahiptir. Psikolojik yıldırmanın örgütsel strese ve çalışan davranışlarına etki ettiği düşünülmektedir. Bu nedenle bu araştırmada psikolojik yıldırmanın örgütsel strese ve çalışan davranışına etkisinin ölçülmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu temel ama- cın yanında örgütsel stresin de çalışan davranışına etkisi araştırılmıştır. Araştırmada ölçüm aracı olarak Qureshi vd. (2015) tarafından test edilen 28 maddelik psikolojik yıldırma, 25 maddelik örgüt- sel stres ve 25 maddelik çalışan davranışı ölçekleri kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın veri setini Antalya’da bir devlet hastanesinde görev yapan sağlık çalışanlarından elde edilen veriler oluşturmuştur. Araş- tırmanın amacına göre üç temel hipotez önerilmiş ve bir model oluşturulmuştur. Oluşturulan model LISREL aracılığı ile test edilmiştir. Test edilen model anlamlı sonuç vermiş ve araştırmada önerilen hipotezler desteklenmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda psikolojik yıldırmanın örgütsel stresi etkilediği, psikolojik yıldırmanın çalışan davranışını etkilediği, örgütsel stresin de çalışan davranışını etkilediği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
