The aim of this study is to determine the effect of the organizational broken windows theory on destructive deviance behavior. Adopting a quantitative research design, the sample comprises employees from small, medium, and large-scale enterprises operating in Yozgat, Turkey. Data were collected from 567 participants accessed through convenience sampling via an online survey. The analysis of the gathered data was conducted using partial least squares path analysis (PLS-SEM), with the SmartPLS statistical software. Findings from the research data indicate a positive and significant effect of organizational broken windows on destructive deviance behavior. Examination of the R2 values of the model revealed that the organizational broken windows theory explains 34% of the variance in destructive deviance behavior. The results suggest that unaddressed broken windows in organizations may lead to destructive deviance behaviors over time.

Öz

Bu araştırmanın amacı, örgütsel kırık camların yıkıcı sapma davranışı üzerindeki etkisinin belirlenmesidir. Nicel araştırma deseninin benimsendiği çalışmada örneklemi, Yozgat ilinde faaliyet gösteren küçük, orta ve büyük ölçekli işletmelerdeki çalışanlar oluşturmaktadır. Kolayda örnekleme yöntemiyle ulaşılan 567 kişiden çevrimiçi anket yoluyla veriler toplanmıştır. Toplanan verilerin analiz edilmesinde kısmi en küçük kareler yol analizi (PLS-SEM) tercih edilmiş olup Smart-PLS istatistik programı kullanılarak analiz gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırma verilerinden elde edilen bulgulara göre örgütsel kırık camların yıkıcı sapma davranışı üzerinde pozitif yönlü ve anlamlı etkisinin olduğu görülmüştür. Oluşturulan modelin R2 değerleri incelendiğinde örgütsel kırık camların yıkıcı sapma davranışını %34 oranında açıkladığı belirlenmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlar, örgütlerdeki müdahale edilmeyen kırık camların zamanla yıkıcı sapma davranışlarına yol açacağını ortaya koymaktadır.
