İSTİSMARCI YÖNETİMİN İŞTEN AYRILMA NİYETİNE ETKİSİNDE ÖRGÜTSEL ETİK İLKELERİN DÜZENLEYİCİ VE ARACI ROLÜ

Öz

Bu çalışmada istismarcı yönetimle işten ayrılma niyeti ilişkisi ve bu ilişkide örgütsel etik ilkelerin aracı ve düzenleyici rolü incelenmiştir. Araştırma kapsamında özel bir kurumundaki 224 çalışandan kolayda örneklem yöntemiyle veriler toplanmıştır. Araştırmada veri toplamak için istismarcı yönetim, örgütsel etik ilkeler ve işten ayrılma ölçekleri kullanılmıştır. Korelasyon, regresyon ve regresyon temelli yol analizleri yapılarak hipotezler test edilmiştir. Sonuçlar yöneticinin istismarcı davranışının çalışanların işten ayrılma niyetini artırdığını göstermektedir. İstismarcı yönetimle işten ayrılma niyeti arasındaki ilişkide örgütsel etik ilkelerin aracılık etkisi söz konudur. Ayrıca örgütsel etik ilkelerin yüksek olması istismarcı yönetimin işten ayrılma niyeti üzerindeki etkisini zayıflatırken; düşük olması bu etkiyi güçlendirmektedir. Araştırma bulguları daha önce yapılan çalışma bulgularıyla karşılaştırılmış ve yöneticiler için uygulama önerilerinde bulunulmuştur.
