The Relationship Between Organizational Commitment and Work Alienation: A Study on the Health Sector

Abstract

Alienation, which is built on Hegel’s social psychology studies and Karl Marx’s philosophical studies, is considered to be an increasingly important problem as an interdisciplinary subject. Work alienation is a state of incompatibility that occurs as a result of the individual’s getting distanced from himself/herself and society. It is important to handle this state of incompatibility, which is affected by external and internal factors, from an administrative point of view. In this connection, the purpose of the current study is to determine the level of work alienation of employees and the effect of alienation on the level of organizational commitment. The study employed the questionnaire method to collect data. The population of the study consists of health sector workers in the city of İstanbul. The sample of the study is comprised of 322 people selected from the population by using the random sampling method. Correlation and regression analysis methods were used to determine the interaction between the perceptions of organizational commitment and work alienation. As a result of the analysis, it was determined that there is a negative and significant correlation between work alienation and organizational commitment.
