Abstract

The main purpose of the research is that the family factor should be taken into account in intrinsic motivation compared to other external factors. When it is foreseen, that intrinsic motivation can increase job performance, the family can play an active role in intrinsic motivation. In this study, the effect of family on intrinsic motivation was evaluated with a qualitative study in order to increase job performance. In this study, interviews lasting 1-2 hours were conducted for each person from 42 people. According to the results of the study, while intrinsic motivation affects job performance, family plays a mediating role in this factor. In other words, an increase in intrinsic motivation increases job performance. When family is added to the effect between these two variables, the effect increases even more. In this context, the results of the study emphasize that the family institution of the individual should be taken into account during the recruitment of the personnel and the working period of the employee at the workplace.

İÇSEL MOTİVASYONUN İŞ PERFORMANSI ÜZERİNDEKİ ETKİSİNDE AİLE FAKTÖRÜNÜN ROLÜ

Abstract

Araştırmanın temel amacı, aile faktörünün diğer dışsal faktörlere göre içsel motivasyonda dikkate alınması gerektiğidir. İçsel motivasyonun iş performansının artırabileceği ön görüldüğünde aile, içsel motivasyon için etken görev oynayabilir. Bu çalışmada iş performansının yükseltilmesi için ailenin içsel motivasyona etkisi nitel bir çalışma ile değerlendirilmiştir. Bu çalışmada 42 kişiden her bir kişi için 1-2 saat süren görüşmeler yapılmıştır. Çalışmanın sonuçlarına göre, içsel motivasyon iş performansını etkilerken aile bu etken içinde aracı rol oynamaktadır. Diğer bir deyişle, içsel motivasyonun artması iş performansını artırmaktadır. Söz konusu bu iki değişken arasındaki etkiye aile eklendiğinde etki daha da artmaktadır. Bu kapsamda çalışmanın sonuçları personelin işe alım ve çalışanın iş yerindeki çalışma süresinde bireyin içinde bulunduğu aile kurumunun dikkate alınması gerektiği vurgulamaktadır.
