The Moderator Effect of the Perceived Quality of Meal Service on the Relationship between Mobbing, Job Stress and Job Performance

Öz

İş yaşamında mobbing ve stresin artması ile çalışanlarda depresyon, motivasyon kaybı, kaygı gibi zararlar oluşabilmektedir. Bu zararlar çalışanların iş performanslarını etkileyebilmektedir. Ayrıca çalışanların beslenmeleri streslerini ve performanslarını düzenleyebilmektedir. Bu çalışmada mobbing, iş stresi, iş performansı ve yemek hizmetlerinin algılanan kalitesi değişkenlerinin aracılık, düzenleyicilik ve durumsal aracılık etkileri incelenmiştir. Çalışma özel bir şirketin 283 mavi yakalı personeli ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırma, birincil araştırma metodu olan anket ile yürütülmüştür. Çalışma sonucunda mobbingin, iş performansı üzerindeki etkisinin anlamlı olduğu, dolayısıyla da iş stresinin mobbing ile iş performansı arasındaki ilişkiye aracılık ettiği saptanmıştır. İş stresinin, yemek hizmetlerinin algılanan kalitesinin ve etkileşimsel teriminin iş performansı üzerine etkilerinin anlamlı olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca yemek hizmetlerinin algılanan kalitesi değişkeninin düzenleyici etkiye sahip olduğu ortaya konulmuştur. Son olarak mobbingin iş stresi vasıtasıyla iş performansı üzerindeki dolaylı etkisi, yemek hizmetlerinin algılanan kalitesinin düşük ve orta düzeyde olduğunda daha yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir. Yani, durumsal aracılık indeks değeri anlamlıdır.
