Abstract

Sabotaj davranışları bireylere,
ekipmanlar ve örgüte yönelik zararlı davranışlardır. Örgütün üyelerini, maddi kaynakları veya örgütün
bütününü hedef alan sabotaj davranışlarındaki temel amaç zarar
vermektir. Kişilik örgütsel sabotaj davranışı üzerinde önemli bir role
sahiptir. Mevcut çalışma iki aşamadan oluşmaktadır. Çalışmanın ilk aşamasında
250 kişilik öğrenci örnekleminden elde edilen veriler neticesinde sabotaj
yöntemlerini içeren 33 maddelik bir sabotaj listesi oluşturulmuş, ikinci
aşamada ise 320 kişilik başka bir öğrenci grubuna önceki çalışmada oluşturulan
sabotaj listesi ile büyük beş faktörlü kişilik ölçeğine ilişkin anket soruları
sorulmuştur. Yapılan faktör analizi neticesinde bilgi sabotajı, görev sabotajı
ve şiddet sabotajı olmak üzere üç tür örgütsel sabotaj yöntemi bulunmuş ve
step-wise regresyon analizi neticesinde ise, nevrotik, uyumlu ve dikkatli
kişilik boyutlarının elde edilen sabotaj yöntemleri üzerinde etkili olduğu
bulgusuna ulaşılmıştır.
