Organizational dehumanization expresses the perceptions of the employees regarding that fact they are being treated as resources or property of the organization rather than humans by the organization. The present study intended to examine the effects of organizational dehumanization on the organization and its employees through systematic review. In the study, the data was collected by searching the keywords determined in Turkish and English in the Web of Science, Pubmed, Ulakbim, Science Direct, and Springer Link databases. 23 studies were included in the scope of the research. As a result of the study, it was concluded that organizational dehumanization negatively affects the employees and thus the organizations. In addition, the study observed that there were scarcely any studies regarding organizational dehumanization in the national literature, and the performance of studies on the subject with different sample groups was suggested.

Örgütlerde Kaynağın İnsanın Önüne Geçmesi: Örgütsel İnsandışılaştırma Üzerine Sistematik Bir Derleme

Öz

Örgütsel insandışılaştırma, çalışanların çalıştığı örgüt tarafından bir insandan ziyade, örgütün kaynağı veya mülkü olarak muamele gördüğüne ilişkin algılarını ifade etmektedir. Bu çalışma sistematik derleme yoluyla, örgütsel insandışılaştırmanın örgüt ve çalışanlara etkisini incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmada, Web of Science, Pubmed, Ulakbim, Science Direct, Springer Link veri tabanlarında Türkçe ve İngilizce dilinde belirlenen anahtar sözcükler taranarak veri toplanmıştır. Araştırma kapsamına 23 çalışma dâhil edilmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda örgütsel insandışılaştırmanın çalışanları ve dolayısı ile örgütleri olumsuz etkilediği sonucuna varılmıştır. Bununla birlikte çalışmada, ulusal literatürde örgütsel insandışılaştırma konusuna yönelik çalışmaların yok denecek kadar az olduğu görülmüş ve konuya özgü farklı örneklem gruplarıyla çalışmaların yapılması önerilmiştir.
