Abstract

Öz şefkat kavramı; “kişinin ıstırap, acı, yetersizlik ve başarısızlık hislerine kapıldığı kötü zamanlarında kendisine karşı nazik ve sevecen olması, negatif duygularının farkında olarak bunları kabul edebilmesi ve yaşanabilecek zorlukların insan yaşamının bir parçası olduğunu bilmesi” olarak tanımlamaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı; işyerinde çalışanların öz şefkat duyguları içinde olmalarına etki edebilecek bireysel ve örgütsel özelliklerin tespit edilmesi ve diğer çalışanların olası tepkilerini ortaya koymaktır. Nitel araştırma yönteminin tercih edildiği bu çalışmada, çalışma grubuyla derinlemesine mülakatlar gerçekleştirilmiş ve öz şefkat duygularına zemin oluşturan birtakım bireysel/örgütsel öncüllerin yanı sıra, çalışma ortamındaki diğer kişilerin tepkileri değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırma bulgularının, örgütsel davranış alanında az sayıda çalışmaya konu olan öz şefkat kavramının kuramsal yapısını zenginleştireceğine ve çalışma hayatındaki kişilerin öz şefkat duygularını araştıran ilk nitel çalışma olması nedeniyle de ulusal yazına katkıda bulunacağına inanılmaktadır.

A Qualitative Research on Self-Compassion at Work

Abstract

Self-compassion entails being warm and having an understanding toward ourselves when we suffer or feel inadequate, rather than ignoring our pain or flagellating ourselves with self-criticism. The study aims to determine the individual and organizational antecedents that may affect the employees' self-compassion in the workplace and reveal other employees' possible reactions. In the study, in which the qualitative research method is preferred, in-depth interviews are conducted with the study group, and the reactions of other people in the work environment are evaluated, as well as some individual/organizational antecedents that formed the basis for self-compassion. It is believed that the research findings would enrich the theoretical framework of self-compassion, which is the subject of few studies in the field of organizational behavior and contribute to the national literature as it is the first qualitative study investigating self-compassion feelings of people in the workplace.
