Abstract

Bu çalışmada, yöneticilerin yüksek performans beklentilerinin çalışanların öz yeterlilik algıları üzerinden işe bağlılıklarını nasıl şekillendirdiği ve bu etkileşimde iş güvencesizliğinin düzenleyici rolü incelenmektedir. Çalışma kapsamında, kolayda örnekleme yöntemiyle çevrim içi anket uygulanarak Trabzon’daki özel sektörde çalışan öğretmenler ve satış elemanlarından oluşan iki farklı meslek grubundan 2024 yılının Ocak-Mart aylarında veriler toplanmış ve toplam 670 kişilik bir örneklem incelenmiştir. Toplanan veriler doğrultusunda, öz yeterliliğin aracılık rolünü analiz etmek için Hayes Process Model 4, iş güvencesizliğinin düzenleyici rolünü incelemek içinse Hayes Process Model 7 kullanılmıştır. Sonuçlar, yöneticilerin yüksek performans beklentilerinin çalışanların işe bağlılığıyla pozitif bir ilişki içinde olduğunu, bu ilişkide öz yeterliliğin aracı bir rol oynadığını ve iş güvencesizliğinin de bu etkiyi düzenleyici bir unsur olarak etkilediğini göstermiştir. Öz yeterliliğin işe bağlılık üzerindeki aracılık etkisinin öğretmenlerde %14.7, satış elemanlarında ise %47.6 olması, bu ilişkinin meslek gruplarına göre anlamlı farklılık gösterdiğini ortaya koyan önemli bir bulgudur.

Linking Performance Expectations to Work Engagement: Roles of Self-Efficacy and Job Insecurity

Abstract

This study examines how managers' high performance expectations influence employees' work engagement through their self-efficacy perceptions, and explores the moderating role of job insecurity in this relationship. Within the scope of the study, data were collected between January and March 2024 from two distinct occupational groups private-sector teachers and sales representatives in Trabzon, through an online questionnaire administered using convenience sampling. A total sample of 670 participants was analyzed. Based on the collected data, Hayes Process Model 4 was used to analyze the mediating role of self-efficacy, while Hayes Process Model 7 was employed to examine the moderating role of job insecurity. The results indicated that managers' high performance expectations are positively associated with employees' work engagement, with self-efficacy serving as a mediating variable and job insecurity acting as a moderator in this relationship. The mediating effect of self-efficacy on job engagement was 14.7% for teachers and 47.6% for sales representatives, indicating a meaningful difference across occupational groups.
