https://doi.org/10.25203/idd.368765

Abstract

Objectives: This
study aims to introduce the concept of “organizational prisonization” experienced
by employees, and their reactions as “assimilation to” or “separation from” the
organization; to introduce the measurement scales for all these variables
developed; and also to test whether organizational prisonization predicts these
reactions.

Methods: Preliminary studies
with an emic approach following content analysis for the exploration of the
variables, and for the development of scales; and an empirical study including factor
and reliability analyses for the scales and regression analyses to test the
prediction relation, were conducted.

Results:  It was
revealed that organizational prisonization significantly predicts the reactions
of “assimilation to organization” in a negative way and of “separation from the
organization” in a positive way.







Originality: The study claims that the prisonization
concept which is so real and factual for the employees in today’s organizations
as well, and have a potential to be investigated for future researches in the
field of organizational behavior.

YENİ BİR KAVRAYIŞ OLARAK ÖRGÜTTE MAHKUMLAŞMA

Year 2018, , 1 - 16, 31.05.2018
https://doi.org/10.25203/idd.368765

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışma
çalışanların deneyimlediği “örgütte mahkumlaşma”  kavramını ve bu duruma tepki olarak ortaya
konan “örgüte asimilasyon” ve “örgütten ayrışma” değişkenlerini tanıtmayı;
örgütte mahkumlaşmanın bu tepkileri yordayıp yordamadığını test etmeyi; ayrıca
bu değişkenlerin ölçümü için geliştirilen ölçeklerin tanıtılmasını
amaçlamaktadır.

Yöntem: Değişkenlerin keşfi
ve ölçek ifadelerinin geliştirilmesi için, sonuçları içerik analizi ile
yorumlanan emic yaklaşım temelli ön çalışmalar ile; ölçekler için faktör ve
güvenirlik analizleri ve yordama ilişkisinin testi için regresyon analizlerini
içeren ampirik bir çalışma yapılmıştır.

Sonuçlar: Bu çalışma örgütte mahkumlaşmanın çalışanın
örgüte asimilasyonunu olumsuz yönde ve örgütten ayrışma tepkilerini olumlu
yönde anlamlı şekilde yordadığını göstermektedir.







Özgün Değer: Bu çalışma ile “mahkumlaşma” kavramının
günümüz örgüt çalışanları için de oldukça gerçek bir durum olduğu ve kavramın
örgütsel davranış alanındaki gelecek çalışmalar için bir potansiyel taşıdığı
düşünülmektedir.
