PSİKOLOJİK GÜÇLENDİRMENİN ÇALIŞMAYA TUTKUNLUK ÜZERİNDEKİ ETKİSİ: SAĞLIK SEKTÖRÜ ÇALIŞANLARINA YÖNELİK BİR ARAŞTIRMA

Abstract

Akademisyen ve uygulayıcıların psikolojik güçlendirme ve çalışmaya tutkunluk konularına olan ilgisi son yıllarda önemli ölçüde artmıştır. Bununla birlikte, birbirinden bağımsız olarak ortaya çıkan bu kavramların boyutlarının nasıl ilişkili oldukları konusunda yapılan çalışma sayısı oldukça yetersizdir. Bu çalışmanın amacı psikolojik güçlendirmenin boyutlarının çalışmaya tutkunluğun boyutları üzerindeki etkisini analiz etmektir. Çalışma kapsamındaki veriler Bursa’da bulunan sağlık kurumlardaki 146 katılımcıdan anket yöntemi ile elde edilmiştir. Verilerin analizinde korelasyon ve çoklu doğrusal regresyon istatistik teknikleri kullanılmıştır. Analiz sonuçlarına göre, psikolojik güçlendirmenin anlamlılık alt boyutu tüm çalışmaya tutkunluk alt boyutlarını açıklamada istatistiksel olarak anlamlıdır. Etki alt boyutu ise hiç bir çalışmaya tutkunluk alt boyutunu açıklamada istatistiksel olarak anlamlı değildir. Ayrıca, yeterlilik alt boyutu çalışmaya tutkunluğun dinçlik ve yoğunlaşma alt boyutlarını açıklamada istatistiksel olarak anlamlıyken, özerklik alt boyutu çalışmaya tutkunluğun dinçlik ve adanmışlık alt boyutlarını açıklamada istatistiksel olarak anlamlıdır sonuçlarına ulaşılmıştır.

The sample includes 146 employees who work in health sector in Bursa. Correlation and multiple linear regression were used in the analysis of data. According to analysis results, meaning sub-dimention of psychological empowerment is statistically significant in explaining all the sub-dimentions of work engagement. Besides, impact sub-dimention is not significant in explaining any sub-dimention.
