Social Loafing: A Research in Construction Sector

Öz

Today, the competitive conditions that organizations have to deal with are getting tougher and constant change is becoming inevitable. Organizations can survive in this environment and achieve sustainable success only through employees who are highly motivated and have high organizational commitment. At this point, it is crucial to eliminate destructive behaviors such as social loafing in order to achieve sustainable success both individually and organizationally. In this sense, the target of this research is to reveal the attitudes of construction sector employees, who are required to be devoted team members, towards social loafing. A survey form that consists demographic questions and Social Loafing Scale with 13 items, developed by Liden, Wayne, Jaworski and Bennett (2004) was prepared and delivered to the potential participants. 234 employees participated in the research and the data were analyzed in the SPSS 22.0 package program. The findings reveal that, there is a statistically significant difference (p <0.05) between marital status and age demographics of the participants and the items of the scale. On the other hand, it is found out that there is not a statistically significant difference (p >0.05) between gender demographic and the items of the scale.
