Algılanan Örgütsel Desteğin Çalışanların İş-Aile, Aile-İş Çatışması, Örgütsel Özdeşleşme ve İşten Ayrılma Niyetine Etkisi: Savunma Sektöründe Bir Araştırma

Abstract

Örgüt başarımında önemli bir role sahip işgücünün beklentileri gün geçtikçe
farklılaşabilmektedir. Çalışanlar için örgütsel destek, çalışanların tutumlarında etkisi
olan önemli bir faktördür. Örgütsel desteğin çalışanların örgütsel özdeşleşme düzeyine,
iş-aile ve aile iş çatışması düzeyi ile işten ayrılma niyetine etkilerini belirlemek bu çalışmanın
temel konusudur. Savunma sektörü çalışanları üzerinde yapılan araştırmada
konu edilen beş değişken yapısal eşitlik modeli ile analiz edilmiş ve elde edilen veriler
doğrultusunda aracılık etkileri araştırılmıştır. Analiz sonucunda algılanan örgütsel
desteğin(AOD) iş-aile çatışması(İAÇ), aile-iş çatışmasını(AİÇ) ve işten ayrılma niyetini
(İAN) anlamlı olarak azalttığı, örgütsel özdeşleşmeyi(ÖÖ) anlamlı olarak artırdığı belirlenmiştir.
Ayrıca, AOD’nin İAN’ye etkisinde İAÇ ve örgütsel özdeşleşmenin kısmi aracılık
rolü üstlendiği tespit edilmiştir
