POLİS TEŞKİLATININ “İŞKOLİK” ÇALIŞANLARI

Öz

İşkolikler, vaktinin çoğunu iş yerinde veya iş ile ilgili konularda harcayan, iş’e bağımlı kişiler olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Günümüze kadar işkolikliğin hem bireye hem de organizasyona zarar verdiği yönünde yüzlerce akademik çalışma yapılmıştır. İşkoliklik, hiyerarşik yapılanması olan Emniyet Teşkilatı’nda da önemli bir problemdir. İşkolik çalışanlar Türk Polis Teşkilatı’nın verimliliğini düşürdüğü gibi, diğer çalışanların da verimsiz olmasına neden olmaktadırlar. Bu çalışmada işkolikliğin polis teşkilatındaki yansımaları, bunun nedenleri, polis ailelerine, kendilerine ve Emniyet Teşkilatı’na verdiği zararlar ve birtakım çözüm önerileri tartışılmaktadır. Ayrıca, Emniyet Teşkilatı’ndaki işkolikliğin diğer kamu ve özel kurumlardakinden farklı olarak istekdışı oluştuğu ve bunun nedenleri incelenmektedir.

WORKAHOLIC EMPLOYEES OF THE TURKISH NATIONAL POLICE

Öz

Workaholics spend their time mostly with their job-related activities and they are addicted to working. In the literature, there are currently many academic studies about why workaholism and presenteeism are harmful. Workaholism is also a significant problem in the Turkish National Police Organization which has a hierarchical structure. Presenteeism/workaholism is destructive not only for officers but also organization itself. Throughout the study presenteeism/workaholism, its reasons, its negative effects on individuals and organization and some solutions were discussed. Also, it was emphasized that presenteeism/workaholism is differently applied in the Turkish National Police than in other public and private organizations
