Bu
araştırmanın amacı; çalışanların örgüt atmosferinde algıladığı dışlanma ile
geliştirdikleri sinizm düzeyi arasında anlamlı bir ilişki olup olmadığını
saptamak, eğer anlamlı bir ilişki var ise örgütsel dışlanmanın sinizm üzerinde
etki düzeyini saptamak ve örgütsel dışlanma algısının demografik faktörlere
göre farklılık gösterip göstermediğini incelemektir. Bu amaca bağlı olarak,
Ankara ve Zonguldak illerinde özel sektörde ve kamu sektöründe çalışan toplam
272 kişiden anket yöntemiyle veri elde edilmiştir. Gerçekleştirilen analizler
sonucunda; örgüt atmosferinde algılanan dışlanma ile örgütsel sinizm arasında
pozitif yönde anlamlı bir ilişki saptanmış, çalışanların sinizm düzeyindeki
değişimin %32,7’sini örgütsel dışlanma algısındaki değişimin açıkladığı
belirlenmiştir. Basit doğrusal regresyon analizi sonucuna göre; örgütsel
dışlanmadaki 1 birimlik artışın örgütsel sinizm üzerinde 0.762 birimlik bir
artışa neden olduğu saptanmıştır.
