Bu araştırmanın amacı, sağlık çalışanlarının ağır iş yükü algılarının sessiz istifa tutumları üzerindeki etkisini incelemek ve bu ilişkide rol belirsizliği ile depresyonun olası aracılık rollerini ortaya koymaktır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda çalışma; sağlık sektöründe görev yapan çalışanlara odaklanarak, söz konusu değişkenler arasındaki çok yönlü etkileşimi paralel aracılık modeli çerçevesinde incelemektedir. Araştırma Türkiye’nin Doğu bölgesinde yer alan büyük ölçekli bir eğitim ve araştırma hastanesinde görev yapan toplam 553 sağlık çalışanından veri elde edilerek yapılmıştır. Araştırma sonuçları değerlendirildiğinde ise ağır iş yükü algısının sessiz istifa tutumları ile pozitif ve anlamlı bir ilişkiye sahip olduğu ayrıca rol belirsizliği ve depresyonun bu ilişkiyi aracılık ettiğini göstermiştir. Paralel aracılık analizlerinde ise rol belirsizliği ve depresyon değişkenlerinin ağır iş yükünün sessiz istifa üzerindeki etkisinde anlamlı paralel aracılık rolleri olduğu tespit edilmiştir.

Mediating Roles of Role Ambiguity and Depression in the Relationship Between Perceived Heavy Workload and Quiet Quitting Behaviors of Healthcare Workers

Öz

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of heavy workload perceptions of healthcare workers on their quiet quitting behaviours and to reveal the possible mediating roles of role ambiguity and depression in this relationship. To this end, the study focuses on employees in the health sector and examines the multidirectional interactions among these variables within the framework of the parallel mediation model. Data were collected from 553 healthcare workers at a large-scale training and research hospital in the Eastern region of Türkiye. The results of the study showed that the perception of heavy workload had a positive and significant relationship with quiet quitting behaviours and that role ambiguity and depression mediated this relationship. In parallel mediation analyses, role ambiguity and depression variables were found to have significant parallel mediation roles in the effect of heavy workload on quiet quitting.
