Politik Yeti’nin Performansa Etkisinde Algılanan Desteğin Düzenleyici Rolü

Öz

Bu araştırmanın amacı; politik yeti ve performans arasındaki ilişkinin ortaya konulmasıdır. Söz konusu ilişkiler kapsamında politik yetinin algılanan bireysel iş performansı, algılanan takım performansı ve algılanan örgütsel performans ilişkisinde algılan örgütsel destek, algılanan yönetici desteği ve algılanan çalışma arkadaşı desteğinin düzenleyici (moderatör) rolü incelenmiştir. Uygulama aşamasında amaçlı örnekleme kullanılarak, bir büyükşehir ve iki ilçe belediyesinde çalışan beyaz yakalılara ve yöneticilere araştırma ölçekleri ve demografik değişkenleri içeren anket uygulanmış olup toplam 372 adet anket toplanmıştır. Çalışma kapsamında SPSS 22.0 istatistiksel analiz programı ile ölçeklerin güvenilirliğini test etmek üzere; Cronbach's alpha katsayılarına bakılmıştır. Toplanan verilere açıklayıcı ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizi, korelasyon, hiyerarşik regresyon ve basit eğim analizleri uygulanmıştır. Yapılan korelasyon analizi neticesinde cinsiyetin algılanan performans boyutlarıyla anlamlı ilişkisinin olmadığı ancak eğitim durumu ile algılanan bireysel performans arasında anlamlı fark olduğu görülmüştür. Kurumdaki hizmet süresi ise algılanan takım performansı ve bireysel performans arasında pozitif ilişki bulunmuştur. Politik yetinin, algılanan örgütsel performans üzerinde pozitif ve anlamlı bir etkisinin olduğu; algılanan yönetici desteği ve algılanan çalışma arkadaşı desteğinin bu ilişkilerde düzenleyici(moderatör) rolü olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Politik yetinin performansa olan katkısı dikkate alındığında hem yönetim hem de işgören tarafından öğrenilmesi ve kullanılması önem arz etmektedir.

The Moderating Role of Perceived Support in The Effect of Political Skill on Performance

Öz

This research examines the relationship between political skill and perceived individual, team and organizational performance. We tried to reveal perceived organizational, supervisor, and co-worker support effects as moderators in the relationship of political skill and perceived organizational performance. In the test of the proposed model, we used purposive sampling. As a result of this effort, we collected 372 questionnaires from managers and white-collar employees in one metropolitan city and two district municipalities. We used SPSS 22.0 and AMOS 24 statistics programs were used within the context of this study. Explanatory and confirmatory factor analysis, correlation, hierarchical regression and simple slope analysis are used to verify the hypotheses of the study. As a result of the correlation analysis, findings show there is no significant relationship between gender and perceived performance dimensions. However, there appears to be a significant relationship with an individual’s educational status and perceived performance. I found there is a relationship between length of service and perceived team and individual performance. Political skill appears to have a positive and significant impact on perceived organizational performance. This study determines perceived supervisor support and perceived coworker support have a moderator role in the relationship between political skill and perceived performance. Considering the contribution of political skill to performance, it is important that it is learned and used by both the management and the employee.
