AB  - Amaç: Bu araştırmanın temel amacı, entropik örgüt ikliminin sessiz istifa ve sosyal kaytarma davranışları üzerindeki etkilerini incelemektir. Çalışmada, entropik örgüt iklimi kavramı ile sessiz istifa ve sosyal kaytarma arasındaki ilişkiyi anlamaya yönelik literatür taraması yapılmış ve teorik altyapı oluşturulmuştur.Yöntem: Araştırma, Türkiye’nin çeşitli şehirlerinden, özel ve kamu sektörlerinde görev yapan 18 yaş ve üzeri 372 katılımcı ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Anket yoluyla toplanan veriler, nicel araştırma deseni çerçevesinde SPSS 26.0 kullanılarak betimsel istatistikler, güvenilirlik analizleri ve korelasyon ile regresyon analizleri ile incelenmiştir.Bulgular: Bulgular, değişkenler arasında anlamlı, çoğunlukla pozitif ve orta düzeyde ilişkiler olduğunu göstermektedir. Süreçsel entropi ile motivasyonsuzluk arasında negatif ilişki öngören hipotez reddedilmiştir. Örgütsel katılımın düşük olduğu ortamlarda çalışanların sosyal kaytarma eğilimlerinin arttığı ve bu durumun ilişkisel entropi ile anlamlı biçimde bağlantılı olduğu bulunmuştur. Ayrıca, entropik örgüt ikliminin alt boyutları ile sessiz istifa arasında çoğunlukla pozitif ilişkiler saptanmış ve her iki alt boyutun da çalışan sosyalleşmesini olumsuz etkilediği görülmüştür.Sonuç: Araştırma, entropik örgüt ikliminin çalışan motivasyonu, bağlılığı ve sosyal ilişkiler üzerinde olumsuz etkiler yarattığını ortaya koymaktadır. Çalışanlar, bu ortamlarda kendilerini güvende hissetmemekte, aidiyet duygularını kaybetmekte ve savunma mekanizmaları doğrultusunda sessiz istifa ve sosyal kaytarma gibi davranışlar sergileyebilmektedir. Bulgular, entropik örgüt ikliminin çalışan davranışları ve örgütsel bağlılık üzerinde belirleyici bir rol oynadığını göstermektedir.Özgünlük: Çalışma, örgüt iklimi ile çalışan davranışları arasındaki ilişkiye dair literatüre katkı sağlamaktadır ve insan kaynakları yönetimi ile örgütsel davranış alanlarında farkındalık yaratmayı amaçlamaktadır.

N2  - Aim: This study aims to examine the effects of an entropic organizational climate on quiet quitting and social loafing behaviors. A literature review was conducted to establish a theoretical framework on the relationship between entropic organizational climate and these employee behaviors.  Method: The study was conducted with 372 participants aged 18 and above, working in various public and private sector organizations across different cities in Turkey. Data were collected via a structured questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS 26.0. Descriptive statistics, reliability analyses, and correlational and regression analyses were employed to examine the relationships between variables.Results: The results indicate significant, predominantly positive, and moderate correlations among the variables. The hypothesis predicting a negative relationship between process entropy and demotivation was rejected. Findings also reveal that employees in environments with low organizational engagement are more prone to social loafing, and this tendency is significantly associated with relational entropy. Additionally, mostly positive and significant relationships were observed between the subdimensions of the entropic organizational climate and quiet quitting. Both subdimensions were found to negatively affect employee socialization.Conclusion: The study demonstrates that an entropic organizational climate has notable adverse effects on employee motivation, work commitment, and social interactions. Employees in such environments tend to feel insecure, lose their sense of belonging, and develop self-protective mechanisms that may manifest as quiet quitting or social loafing. These behaviors reflect disengagement and reduced effort in fulfilling work responsibilities. Overall, the findings underscore the critical role of entropic organizational climates in shaping employee behaviors and organizational commitment.Originality: The study contributes to the literature by elucidating the link between organizational climate and employee behaviors, highlighting the negative impacts of entropic climates on motivation, and providing insights for human resources management and organizational behavior practices.
