Abstract

In this study, it was
investigated the relationship between abusive supervision and intention to quit
of employees and, the moderating and mediating role of organizational ethical
value in this relationship. Data were gathered by a convenience sample method
from 224 employees working in the service sector. Abusive supervision,
organizational ethical value and intention to quit scales were used to collect
data. To test the hypotheses, correlation, regression, and regression-based
path analysis were conducted. Findings revealed that abusive supervision
increased intention to quit of employees. The perception of organizational
ethical values mediated the relationship between abusive supervision and
intention to quit of employees. High organizational ethical values decreased
the effect of abusive supervision on the intention to quit employees and, low
ones increased this relationship. Implications and directions for future
research were discussed according to findings.

İSTİSMARCI YÖNETİMİN İŞTEN AYRILMA NİYETİNE ETKİSİNDE ÖRGÜTSEL ETİK İLKELERİN DÜZENLEYİCİ VE ARACI ROLÜ

Abstract

Bu
çalışmada istismarcı yönetimle işten ayrılma niyeti ilişkisi ve bu ilişkide
örgütsel etik ilkelerin aracı ve düzenleyici rolü incelenmiştir. Araştırma
kapsamında özel bir kurumundaki 224 çalışandan kolayda örneklem yöntemiyle
veriler toplanmıştır. Araştırmada veri toplamak için istismarcı yönetim,
örgütsel etik ilkeler ve işten ayrılma ölçekleri kullanılmıştır. Korelasyon,
regresyon ve regresyon temelli yol analizleri yapılarak hipotezler test
edilmiştir. Sonuçlar yöneticinin istismarcı davranışının çalışanların işten
ayrılma niyetini artırdığını göstermektedir. İstismarcı yönetimle işten ayrılma
niyeti arasındaki ilişkide örgütsel etik ilkelerin aracılık etkisi söz konudur.
Ayrıca örgütsel etik ilkelerin yüksek olması istismarcı yönetimin işten ayrılma
niyeti üzerindeki etkisini zayıflatırken; düşük olması bu etkiyi
güçlendirmektedir. Araştırma bulguları daha önce yapılan çalışma bulgularıyla
karşılaştırılmış ve yöneticiler için uygulama önerilerinde bulunulmuştur.
