The Mediating Role of the Interactional Justice on the Effect of Mushroom Management on Organizational Cynicism

Öz

The study aims to test the mediating role of interactional justice on the effect of mushroom management style on organizational cynicism. Data were collected by survey method from 107 research assistants working in a state university in Turkey. The structural equation model (SEM) was used to test the research model. In the study, firstly, the effect of mushroom management style on organizational cynicism was tested. After this step, the mediator variable was included in the research model. As a result of the analysis, it was concluded that the mushroom management style affected organizational cynicism sub-dimensions (cognitive, affective, and behavioral) positively, and affected interactional justice negatively. However, it was concluded that interactional justice does not have a mediating role in the relationship between mushroom management style and organizational cynicism dimensions.

Mantar Yönetim Yaklaşımının Örgütsel Sinizm Üzerindeki Etkisinde Etkileşim Adaletinin Aracılık Rolü

Öz

Çalışma, mantar yönetimi tarzının örgütsel sinizm üzerindeki etkisinde etkileşimsel adaletin aracı rolünü tespit etmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Araştırma verileri Türkiye’de bir devlet üniversitesinde çalışan 107 araştırma görevlisinden anket yönetim ile toplanmıştır. Araştırma modelini test etmek için yapısal eşitlik modeli (YEM) kullanılmıştır. Çalışmada ilk olarak mantar yönetim tarzının örgütsel sinizm üzerindeki etkisi test edilmiştir. Bu adımdan sonra aracı değişken araştırma modeline dahil edilmiştir. Analizler sonucunda mantar yönetim tarzının örgütsel sinizm alt boyutlarını (bilişsel, duyuşsal ve davranışsal) pozitif, etkileşimsel adaletini negatif yönde etkilediği sonucuna varılmıştır. Ancak mantar yönetim tarzı ile örgütsel sinizm boyutları arasında kurulan ilişkide etkileşimsel adaletin aracılık rolü olmadığı sonucuna varılmıştır.
