Abstract

Since the process started with classical management theories in the management literature, the role and importance of human has always been the subject of discussion. Human who was seen as a machine before, has become the focus of the business with the technological developments. In today’s world where intense competition is experienced, talented employees and their engagement to the work is an indispensable element for companies. Accordingly, businesses have to apply various practices to select talented employees and keep them in the business. For this reason, businesses that want to include talented employees and ensure sustainability have started to focus on talent management practices. In this study, the effect of talent management practices on work engagement and mediating role of perceived supervisor support in this relationship were examined. In this context, consisting of a population of 6.710 people, 443 people working in a private bank were interviewed and the data obtained is analyzed under the SPSS 22 program. An important and positive mid-level relationship was observed between the sub-dimensions of talent management practices and work engagement and perceived supervisor support. In addition, it was concluded that an increase in employees’ positive perception of talent management practices increases the level of work engagement and that perceived supervisor support in this relationship is a partial mediator.

YETENEK YÖNETİMİ UYGULAMALARI ALGISININ İŞE ADANMIŞLIĞA ETKİSİNDE ALGILANAN YÖNETİCİ DESTEĞİNİN ROLÜ: BANKACILIK SEKTÖRÜNDE BİR ARAŞTIRMA

Abstract

Yönetim literatüründe klasik yönetim teorileriyle başlayan süreçten itibaren insanın rolü ve önemi her zaman tartışma konusu olmuştur. Önceleri bir makine gibi görülen insan, yaşanan teknolojik gelişmeler ve değişimlerle birlikte işletmenin odak noktası olmaya başlamıştır. Yoğun rekabetin yaşandığı günümüzde ise bir değer olarak kabul edilen yetenekli çalışanlar ve onların işe adanmışlıklarını sağlamak işletmeler için vazgeçilmez bir unsurdur. Bu doğrultuda işletmeler, yetenekli çalışanları seçmek ve onların işletmede kalmalarını sağlamak için çeşitli uygulamalara başvurmak durumundadır. Bu nedenle yetenekli çalışanları bünyelerine dahil etmek ve sürdürülebilirliği sağlamak isteyen işletmeler, yetenek yönetimi uygulamalarına ağırlık vermeye başlamıştır. Bu çalışmada yetenek yönetimi uygulamalarının işe adanmışlık üzerindeki etkisi ve bu ilişkide algılanan yönetici desteğinin aracı rolü incelenmiştir. Bu doğrultuda 6.710 kişilik bir evrenden oluşan özel bir bankanın 443 çalışanına anket uygulanarak elde edilen veriler SPSS 22 programı aracılığıyla analiz edilmiştir. Yetenek yönetimi uygulamalarının alt boyutları ile işe adanmışlık ve algılanan yönetici desteği arasında anlamlı ve pozitif yönlü bir ilişki bulunmuştur. Ayrıca çalışanların yetenek yönetimi uygulamalarına ilişkin olumlu algısının artmasının işe adanmışlık düzeyini arttırdığı ve bu ilişkide algılanan yönetici desteğinin kısmi aracılık rolü olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
