Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı, kurumsal itibarın güvenlik iklimi üzerindeki etkisini ve bu ilişkide algılanan etik iklimin aracı rolünü belirlemektir. Bu kapsamda Karaman ili Ermenek ilçesinde faaliyet gösteren bir yer altı kömür madeninin çalışanları üzerinde saha çalışması gerçekleştirilmiştir. Anket tekniği ve kolayda örnekleme yöntemi kullanılarak toplam 163 geçerli anket verisi elde edilmiştir. Toplanan veriler SPSS 23.0 istatistik programı kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Özet olarak, regresyon testi sonucunda çalışanlar tarafından algılanan kurumsal itibarın, güvenlik iklimi ve algılanan etik iklimi pozitif etkilediği, ayrıca algılanan etik iklimin de güvenlik iklimini pozitif etkilediği tespit edilmiştir. Öte yandan, hiyerarşik regresyon analizi ve Sobel testi sonucunda algılanan etik iklimin kurumsal itibar ve güvenlik iklimi arasında anlamlı düzeyde kısmi aracılık etkisinin olduğu izlenmiştir. Nitekim elde edilen sonuçlar teorik ve pratik katkılar bağlamında irdelenmiş ve sonraki sektörel araştırmalara yönelik kimi önerilerde bulunulmuştur.

Abstract

The purpose of the research is to determine the effect of corporate reputation on safety climate, and the mediating role of perceived ethical climate in this relationship. In this context, a field study was conducted on the employees of a subsurface coal mine operating in the Ermenek District of Karaman Province. A total of 163 questionnaires were collected by using the questionnaire technique and convenience sampling method. The collected data were analyzed with the SPSS 23.0 analysis program. Consequently, the regression test revealed that corporate reputation perceived by employees positively affects safety climate and perceived ethical climate, while perceived ethical climate positively affects safety climate. In addition, hierarchical regression analysis and the Sobel test revealed that perceived ethical climate has a significant partial mediation effect between perceived corporate reputation and safety climate. Finally, the conclusions were handled within the scope of theoretical and practical contributions and some suggestions were made for future researchers and the sector.
