Examining the Effect of Crab Syndrome on Happiness at Work and Work Engagement: A Study on Nurses

Öz

The aim of this study is to examine the relationships between crab syndrome, happiness at work and work engagement variables in nurses. The population of the study consists of nurses working in a public hospital in Karaman province. The sample was not selected and a questionnaire was applied to 248 nurses who agreed to participate in the study. In the study, a negative and low level relationship was found between crab syndrome and work engagement and crab syndrome and happiness at work; and a positive and low level relationship was found between work engagement and happiness at work. According to the regression analysis results, it was determined that crab syndrome explained 7.4% of the total variance on happiness at work and 4.4% of the total variance on work engagement. In addition, it was determined that happiness at work explained 9% of the total variance on work engagement. As a result of the study, it was determined that as nurses’ perceptions of crab syndrome increased, their perceptions of happiness at work and work engagement decreased. In addition, it was revealed that happiness at work increased work engagement.

Yengeç Sendromunun İşyerinde Mutluluğa ve İşe Adanmışlığa Etkisinin İncelenmesi: Hemşireler Üzerinde Bir Araştırma

Öz

Bu araştırmanın amacı; hemşirelerde yengeç sendromu, işyerinde mutluluk ve işe adanmışlık değişkenleri arasındaki ilişkileri incelemektir. Araştırmanın evrenini, Karaman ilinde yer alan ve bir kamu hastanesinde çalışmakta olan hemşireler oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada örneklem seçilmemiş ve araştırmaya katılmayı kabul eden 248 hemşireye anket uygulanmıştır. Araştırmada yengeç sendromu ile işe adanmışlık ve yengeç sendromu ile işyerinde mutluluk arasında negatif yönlü düşük düzeyde; işe adanmışlık ile işyerinde mutluluk arasında ise pozitif yönlü düşük düzeyde bir ilişki bulunmuştur. Regresyon analizi sonuçlarına göre; yengeç sendromunun işyerinde mutluluk üzerinde toplam varyansın %7,4’ünü ve işe adanmışlık üzerinde ise toplam varyansın %4,4’ünü açıkladığı belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca işyerinde mutluluğun, işe adanmışlık üzerinde toplam varyansın %9’unu açıkladığı tespit edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda hemşirelerin yengeç sendromuna yönelik algıları arttıkça işyerinde mutluluk ve işe adanmışlık algılarının azaldığı belirlenmiştir. Buna ek olarak, işyerinde mutluluğun işe adanmışlığı artırdığı ortaya koyulmuştur.
