Konaklama sektörü, çalışan memnuniyeti ve verimliliğin belirleyici bir rol oynadığı dinamik bir alandır ve bu bağlamda, iş yerindeki ilişkiler ve iletişim biçimleri, çalışanların performansını doğrudan etkileyen önemli faktörler arasında yer almaktadır. Dağıtım adaletsizliği, çalışanların iş yerindeki katkılarının adil bir şekilde değerlendirilmediği algısını oluşturmakta ve bu durum, motivasyonu olumsuz etkileyerek işe adanmama ile sonuçlanmaktadır. Aynı zamanda, iş yerindeki negatif dedikodular, çalışanlar arasında güvensizlik yaratmakta ve iletişim kopukluklarına yol açarak bireylerin işlerine olan bağlılıklarını zayıflatmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, konaklama sektöründe iş yerindeki negatif dedikodularının çalışanların işe adanmama üzerindeki etkisinde dağıtım adaletsizliğinin aracılık rolü incelenmektedir. Çalışma kapsamında 541 konaklama sektörü çalışanına çevrimiçi anket uygulanmıştır. Çalışmadaki sonuçlar, konaklama sektöründe iş yerindeki negatif dedikodularının çalışanların işe adanmama üzerindeki etkisinde dağıtım adaletsizliğinin kısmi aracılık rolünün olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu değişkenler arasındaki ilişkilerin ulusal literatürde irdelenmemiş olması, çalışmanın özgünlüğünü ortaya koymaktadır.

Effects of Employee Gossip on Work Disengagement: Distribution Injustice Perspective in the Accommodation Sector

Öz

The accommodation sector is a dynamic area where employee satisfaction and productivity play a decisive role. In this context, relationships and communication styles in the workplace are among the critical factors that directly affect employees’ performance. Distributive injustice creates the perception that employees’ contributions at work are not evaluated fairly, and this situation negatively affects motivation and results in disengagement. At the same time, negative gossip at the workplace creates distrust among employees and leads to communication gaps, weakening individuals’ commitment to their jobs. In this context, the study examines the mediating role of distributional injustice in the effect of negative gossip in the workplace on employees’ work disengagement in the accommodation sector. An online survey is conducted on 541 accommodation sector employees within the scope of the study. The study results show that distributional injustice partially mediates the effect of negative gossip in the workplace on employees’ work disengagement in the accommodation sector. The fact that the relationships between these variables have not been examined in the local literature reveals the study’s originality.
