Çok Kültürlü Ortamda Çalışanların Kültürel Zekâ Düzeylerinin Duygusal Emek Gösterimlerine Etkisi

Abstract

Çeşitli teknolojik
ilerlemeler ve iş yapma şekillerindeki değişimler, çok kültürlü çalışma
ortamını oluşturmuş ve bu ortamın gerektirdiği tutum ve davranışları sergileme
yeteneği olarak tanımlanan kültürel zeka ve çalışan performansını belirleyen
diğer önemli unsur olan duygusal emek arasında ki ilişki çok kültürlü bir örgüt
yapısına sahip çalışma ortamında yer alan 101 katılımcı üzerinde incelenmiştir.
Sonuçlar incelendiğinde; kültürel zekânın örgüt üyelerinin duygusal emek
davranışını pozitif yönde etkilediği, üst bilişsel zeka bileşeninin duygusal
emeğin yüzeysel rol yapma davranışını negatif, derin davranış ve doğal (samimi)
davranış boyutunu pozitif yönde etkilediği, kültürel zekanın alt boyutlarından
davranışsal kültürel zekanın, yüzeysel davranış, derin davranış ve doğal
(samimi) davranışı pozitif yönde etkilediğini göstermektedir. Araştırma
sonuçları, çok kültürlü ortamda özellikle üyelerin kültürel zeka düzeyinin
duyguların yönetiminde ve örgüt tarafından istenen duyguların gösterilmesinde
çok önemli bir rol oynadığını göstermektedir. Üst düzey yöneticiler tarafından
gerek üyelerin kültürel zekâsının gerekse duygusal emek gösteriminin dikkate
alınmasının stratejik insan kaynağının etkin yönetimi açısından önemli olduğu
değerlendirilmektedir.
