Abstract

There is increasing interest in how to enhance the level of organizational identification as an attitude that organizations desire for their employees to develop in today's new generation enterprises. The search for new antecedents to increase the level of identification has proceeded for a long time in several organizational settings. An antecedent of the identification can be the organizational socialization process that employees experience through the organization’s direction. The validity of the theory for hypothesized relations gains importance as the conditions change in this context. It is expected that the socialization level of the employees increases the level of organizational identification in the institutions in the light of social identity theory. The main research question is to test the validity of social identity theory on the relationship. According to the findings of the quantitative-research with 448 participants, high level of explanatory effect of organizational socialization process on organizational identification was not found in accordance with the proposals of social identity theory. The findings of the study reveal the necessity of exploring new antecedent factors for organizational identification.

Örgütsel Sosyalleşme Etkisinde Örgütsel Özdeşleşme: Sosyal Kimlik Teorisinin Geçerliliği

Abstract

Günümüz yeni nesil işletmelerde, çalışanların geliştirmelerini arzu ettikleri bir tutum olarak örgütsel özdeşleşme düzeylerini ne şekilde arttıracaklarına olan ilgi artmakta, özdeşleşmeyi artıracak yeni öncül faktörlerin neler olabileceğine yönelik arayışlar devam etmektedir. Çalışanın kurumun yönlendirmesiyle deneyimleyeceği örgütsel sosyalleşme sürecinin özdeşleşme için bir öncül değişken olabilecektir. Bu bağlamda, önerilen öncül değişkenler için hangi teorik temelin önermelerinin geçerli olacağı koşullar değiştikçe önem kazanmaktadır. Çalışanların yer aldıkları kurumlarda sosyalleşme düzeylerinin sosyal kimlik teorisi bağlamında örgütsel özdeşleşme düzeylerini arttıracağı beklenir. Bu araştırmanın temel sorunsalı, örgütsel sosyalleşmenin örgütsel özdeşleşme için bir öncül değişken olmasında sosyal kimlik teorisi önermelerinin geçerliliğini test etmektir. 441 katılımcılı nicel araştırma yönteminin benimsendiği araştırmada, sosyal kimlik teorisi önermelerine göre kurum tarafından yönlendirilecek bir örgütsel sosyalleşme sürecinin örgütsel özdeşleme için yüksek düzeyde açıklayıcılığı ortaya çıkmamıştır. Araştırmanın bulguları, örgütsel özdeşleşme için yeni öncül faktörlerin teşhisinin gerekliliğini ortaya koymaktadır.
