Öz

Psikolojik sözleşme ihlali, örgütsel adalet algıları ve işyerindeki problemlere verilen tepkiler çalışanların tutum, karar ve davranışlarının yanı sıra örgütsel sonuçlarla da yakından ilgili olduğu için son yıllarda araştırmacılar tarafından oldukça ilgi görmektedir. Bu araştırmanın bir amacı işyerindeki problemlere verilen tepkilerin hakçalık duyarlılığı ve cinsiyet açısından farklarının belirlenmesidir. Bu araştırmanın bir diğer amacı da psikolojik sözleşme ihlali ve algılanan örgütsel adaletin işyerindeki problemlere verilen tepkileri yordama gücü ve bu tepkileri hakçalık duyarlılığı açısından incelemektir. Bu amaçla özel sektörde çalışan 276 katılımcıya Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Psikolojik Sözleşme İhlali Ölçeği, Örgütsel Adalet Algısı Ölçeği, Hakçalık Duyarlılığı Ölçeği ve İşyerindeki Problemlere Verilen Tepkiler Ölçeği uygulanmıştır. Katılımcıların yaş aralığı 18-55 arasındadır. Araştırma sonucunda, tüm değişkenler üzerinde cinsiyet ve hakçalık duyarlılığı açısından bazı farklar olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır. Bunun yanı sıra iş yerindeki problemlere verilen tepkileri psikolojik sözleşme ihlallerinin ve örgütsel adalet algısının yordadığı görülmüştür.
