İlişkisel ve İşlemsel Psikolojik Sözleşmede Algılanan İhlalin İşten Ayrılma Niyeti ve Algılanan Örgütsel Destek Üzerindeki Etkisi

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı, psikolojik sözleşmelerin iki türü olan ilişkisel ve işlemsel sözleşmelerde algılanan ihlalin, işten ayrılma niyeti ve algılanan örgütsel destek üzerindeki etkisini belirleyebilmektir. Bu amaç kapsamında, Türkiye’de yer alan devlet ve vakıf üniversitelerinde görev yapan 570 akademik personelden anket yöntemi kullanılarak veriler elde edilmiştir. Hipotezleri test etmek amacıyla hiyerarşik regresyon analizinden yararlanılmıştır. Çalışmanın sonucunda, ilişkisel psikolojik sözleşmede algılanan ihlalin, işten ayrılma niyetini artırıcı ve algılanan örgütsel desteği azaltıcı bir etkisinin bulunduğu belirlenmiştir. İşlemsel psikolojik sözleşme algılanan ihlalin ise işten ayrılma niyeti üzerinde anlamlı bir etkisinin bulunmadığı, fakat yalnızca işlemsel sözleşmenin faydalar boyutunda algılanan ihlalin, algılanan örgütsel desteği azaltıcı bir etkisinin bulunduğu tespit edilmiştir

Anahtar Kelimeler
