SENDİKALARIN EMEK PİYASASI ÜZERİNDEKİ ETKİLERİ: OECD ÜLKELERİ ÜZERİNE BİR İNCELEME

Abstract

Araştırma, 2017 OECD ülkeleri için sendikal kurumsallaşmanın (sendikal yoğunluk ve toplu pazarlık kapsamı) emek piyasası göstergeleri (uzun dönemli işsizlik oranı, emek piyasasına olan güvensizlik, istihdam oranı ve işe bağlı kazançlar) üzerindeki etkisini belirlemeyi hedeflemektedir. Verilerin analizinde SmartPLS programı ve yapısal eşitlik modellemesi tekniği kullanılmıştır. Güvenirlik analizi sonuçlarına göre; değişkenlerin harici yüklerinin 0.8018 ile 0.9304 arasında değiştiği; faktörlerin yapı güvenirlik değerlerinin 0.8593 ve 0.8937 olduğu, içsel tutarlık değerlerinin de 0.6902 ve 0.7634 olduğu görülmüştür. Geçerlik analizi sonuçlarına göre ise çıkarılan ortak varyans değerlerinin 0.50’den ve çıkarılan ortak varyans değerinin karekökünün ilgili sütundaki korelasyon değerlerinden yüksek olduğu görülmüştür. Bulgular, sendikaların kurumsallaşmasının 2017 yılında OECD ülkelerinde negatif istihdam göstergeleri üzerinde (uzun dönemli işsizlik oranı ve emek piyasasına olan güvensizlik) bir etkisi bulunmadığını (t<1.96), ancak pozitif istihdam göstergelerinin (istihdam oranı ve işe bağlı kazançlar) iyileşmesine katkıda bulunduğunu (t: 4.52; r: 0.50) ve pozitif istihdam göstergelerinde meydana gelen değişmenin %25’inin sendikal kurumsallaşma tarafından açıklandığını göstermiştir.

THE IMPACTS OF TRADE UNION ON LABOR MARKET: A RESEARCH ON OECD COUNTRIES

Abstract

The present research aims to determine the impact of trade union institutionalization (trade union density and collective bargaining coverage) on labor market indicators (longterm unemployment, labor market insecurity, employment rate, and personal earnings) for 2017 OECD countries. In the analysis of the data, SmartPLS Structural Equation Modeling program was conducted. According to reliability analysis results; outer loadings of the items vary from 0.8018 to 0.9304, the structure reliability values of the factors are 0.8593 and 0.8937, and internal consistency values are 0.6902 and 0.7634. Validity analysis results show that AVE values of variables are over 0.50 and the “square root” of AVE of each latent variable is greater than the correlations among the latent variables. The findings showed that in 2017 in OECD countries, trade union institutionalization does not have an impact on (t<1.96) negative employment indicators (long-term unemployment and labor market insecurity), whereas it contributes to the recovery (t: 4.52; r: 0.50) of the positive employment indicators (employment rate and personal earnings) and 25% of the change in positive employment indicators is explained by trade union institutionalization.
