Examining the Effects of Financial Stress Level and Perceived Supervisor Support on Intention to Leave

Abstract

In today's world, there are numerous sources of stress. One of the most fundamental sources of stress for people is their level of financial stress. Given its impact not only on personal life but also on work life, it is evident that research on financial stress remains limited. Investigating the effects of financial stress on work life is essential, particularly in terms of employees’ workplace relationships and their intentions to leave their jobs. Accordingly, this study aims to examine the relationships between financial stress, perceived supervisor support, and intention to leave, as well as to conduct a mediation model test. Data were collected from a total of 390 participants working actively in Turkey’s private sector through convenience sampling and an online survey. The analyses revealed a positive relationship between financial stress and intention to leave, and a negative relationship with perceived supervisor support. Moreover, perceived supervisor support was found to play a partial mediating role in the relationship between financial stress and intention to leave. This study is expected to contribute to the literature by addressing how employees' levels of financial stress reflect on organizational behavior.

Finansal Stres Düzeyi ve Algılanan Yönetici Desteğinin İşten Ayrılma Niyeti Üzerindeki Etkilerinin İncelenmesi

Öz

Günümüz dünyasında stres kaynaklarının sayısı oldukça fazladır. İnsanların en temel stres kaynaklarından biri de finansal stres düzeyidir. Özel yaşamın yanı sıra iş yaşamına olan etkileri de göz önüne alındığında finansal stres ile ilgili yapılan çalışmaların sınırlı olduğu dikkati çekmektedir. Finansal stresin iş yaşamına olan etkilerini araştırmak gerek çalışanların iş yerinde kurduğu ilişkiler bakımından gerekse işten ayrılma niyetlerine olan etkisi açısından önem teşkil etmektedir. Bu amaçla çalışmada, finansal stresin ve algılanan yönetici desteğinin işten ayrılma niyeti ile olan ilişkilerini belirlemek ve aracılık model testi gerçekleştirmek hedeflenmiştir. Türkiye’de özel sektörde aktif olarak çalışan toplam 390 katılımcıdan kolayda örnekleme yöntemiyle ve çevrim içi olarak veri toplanmıştır. Yapılan analizler sonucunda, işten ayrılma niyeti ile finansal stres arasında pozitif; algılanan yönetici desteği ile negatif yönde ilişkiler bulunduğu belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca, finansal stresin işten ayrılma niyeti üzerinde algılanan yönetici desteğinin kısmi aracılık rolünün bulunduğu saptanmıştır. Çalışmanın, çalışanların finansal stres düzeylerinin örgütsel davranışa olan yansımalarını ele alması bakımından katkı sunması beklenmektedir.
