Algılanan Örgütsel Destek, Prososyal Motivasyon ve İşten Ayrılma Niyeti İlişkisi: Sağlık Sektöründe Bir Araştırma

Öz

Bu araştırmanın amacı, sağlık çalışanlarında prososyal motivasyonun işten ayrılma niyeti üzerindeki etkisinde algılanan örgütsel desteğin aracılık rolünü incelemektir. Araştırmanın örneklemini, Zonguldak ilinde faaliyet gösteren üç kamu hastanesinde görev yapan sağlık çalışanları oluşturmaktadır. Nicel araştırma desenine göre tasarlanan çalışmada veriler, kolayda örnekleme yöntemiyle seçilen 237 sağlık çalışanından; Prososyal Motivasyon Ölçeği, Algılanan Örgütsel Destek Ölçeği, İşten Ayrılma Niyeti Ölçeği ve demografik bilgi formu aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde, yapısal eşitlik modellemesi kapsamında doğrulayıcı faktör analizi ve yol analizi kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular, prososyal motivasyonun algılanan örgütsel desteği pozitif, işten ayrılma niyetini ise negatif yönde anlamlı biçimde yordadığını ortaya koymaktadır. Ayrıca algılanan örgütsel desteğin işten ayrılma niyetini negatif yönde yordadığı ve prososyal motivasyon ile işten ayrılma niyeti arasındaki ilişkide kısmi aracılık rolü üstlendiği tespit edilmiştir. Araştırma bulguları, prososyal motivasyona sahip sağlık çalışanlarının örgütlerinden destek algıladıklarında işten ayrılma niyetlerinin azaldığını göstermektedir. Bu sonuç, sağlık kurumlarının, çalışanlarının prososyal motivasyonlarını desteklemeleri ve örgütsel destek algılarını güçlendirmeleri gerektiğini ortaya koymaktadır.

The Relationship between Perceived Organizational Support, Prosocial Motivation, and Turnover Intention: An Empirical Study in the Healthcare Sector

Öz

This study aims to examine the mediating role of perceived organizational support in the effect of prosocial motivation on turnover intention among healthcare workers. The sample consists of healthcare professionals employed in three public hospitals in Zonguldak province. The study was designed using a quantitative research approach, and data were collected from 237 healthcare workers selected through convenience sampling via the Prosocial Motivation Scale, the Perceived Organizational Support Scale, the Turnover Intention Scale, and a demographic information form. Confirmatory factor analysis and path analysis were employed within the framework of structural equation modeling to analyze the data. The findings reveal that prosocial motivation has a significant positive effect on perceived organizational support and a significant negative effect on turnover intention. Additionally, perceived organizational support was found to negatively predict turnover intention and to serve as a partial mediator in the relationship between prosocial motivation and turnover intention. These results indicate that healthcare workers with high prosocial motivation exhibit lower turnover intentions when they perceive strong organizational support. Accordingly, healthcare institutions should develop strategies aimed at fostering employees' prosocial motivation and strengthening their perceptions of organizational support.
