Üniversitelerde Psikolojik Taciz:Araştırma Görevlisi ve YardımcıDoçentlere Yönelik Bir Araştırma

Öz

Akademisyenler üzerinde gerçekleştirilen bu ampirik çalışmada, çalışanların hangi tip psikolojik taciz davranışları ile karşılaştıklarını, bu olumsuz davranışların en çok kimler tarafından gösterildiklerini belirlemek ve demografik değişkenlerin psikolojik taciz üzerindeki etkisini saptamak amaçlanmıştır. Üç ilde farklı üniversitelerde çalışan 481 araştırma görevlisi ve yardımcı doçente uygulanan anket sonucunda %26’ya varan psikolojik taciz sıklığı tespit edilmiştir. En sık karşılaşılan davranışların mağdurun bireysel ve mesleki saygınlığını zedelemeye yönelik işle ilgili davranışlar olduğu ve en çok üstler tarafından tacizin gerçekleştirildiği görülmüştür. Yaş, cinsiyet ve unvanın psikolojik taciz üzerinde anlamlı bir etkisi olmadığı, devlet üniversitelerinde çalışanların ise anlamlı bir şekilde daha fazla tacize uğradığı tespit edilmiştir. Kurumda çalışma süresi arttıkça psikolojik taciz sıklığı artsa da 10 yıl ve üzeri çalışanlarda diğer gruplara göre daha az taciz yaşanmaktadır.

Mobbing in Universities: An Exploratory Study on Research Assistants and Assistant Professors

Öz

In this empirical study on academicians, we aim to identify the most prevalent mobbing behaviors and perpetrators and to reveal the differences on the prevalence of mobbing considering some demographic variables. According to the results of the survey on 481 research assistants and assistant professors working in three different cities in Turkey, up to 26% of participants are victims of mobbing. The most frequent aggressive behaviors are work-related behaviors that are aimed to deteriorate the victims’ personal and occupational reputation; and the perpetrators are mostly the superiors. We have found that age, gender, and title are not significantly related to mobbing, but academicians who work for state universities are significantly more exposed to mobbing. Although we see that the more the years spent in the organization, the more the prevalence of mobbing; mobbing is less prevalent in those groups who worked more than 10 years in the same organization.
