Abstract

Innovative behavior
refers to behaviors that involve the production and implementation of new ideas
at workplace. Psychological contract is an important determinant of employee
behavior. A perception of the psychological contract breach may lead to negative
attitudes and behaviors. Employees may behave silently because of the
psychological and security concerns in case of violation of the psychological
contract breach. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of
psychological contract breach on the innovative work behavior and the mediating
role of organizational silence in this relationship. Survey data were collected
from a sample of 213 employees from two firms in defense industry. Confirmatory
factor analysis is conducted for testing scale validity; correlation and
regression analyses are applied for testing the relationship and mediating
effect respectively. The result showed that psychological contract breach has
negative effect on the innovative work behavior and organizational silence has
the mediating role in the relationship between psychological contract breach
and innovative work behavior.

PSİKOLOJİK SÖZLEŞME İHLALİNİN YENİLİKÇİ DAVRANIŞA ETKİSİ: ÖRGÜTSEL SESSİZLİĞİN ROLÜ: SAVUNMA SANYİİNDE BİR UYGULAMA

Abstract

Yenilikçi davranış, işyerinde ürün ve uygulamalara
ilişkin yeni fikirlerin üretilmesi olarak tanımlanabilir. Psikolojik sözleşme
ise çalışan davranışlarının önemli bir belirleyicisidir. Psikolojik sözleşmenin
ihlaline yönelik bir algı, çalışanlarda olumsuz tutum ve davranışlara neden
olabilmektedir. Çalışanların psikolojik sözleşmelerinin ihlal edildiğine
yönelik algıları, psikolojik ve güvenliğe ilişkin endişelerinden dolayı sessiz
kalmalarına neden olmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, psikolojik sözleşme
ihlalinin yenilikçi davranışa etkisi ve bu ilişkide örgütsel sessizliğin
aracılık rolünü incelemektir. Araştırma verileri, savunma sanayiinde faaliyet
gösteren iki farklı firmada çalışan toplam 213 kişiden elde edilmiştir.
Ölçeklerin yapı geçerliliği doğrulayıcı faktör analiziyle; değişkenler
arasındaki ilişkiler ve aracılık etkisi korelasyon ve regresyon analiziyle
incelenmiştir. Analiz sonuçları psikolojik sözleşme ihlalinin çalışanların
yenilikçi davranışını olumsuz olarak etkilediğini ve örgütsel sessizliğin bu
ilişkide tam aracılık etkisine sahip olduğunu göstermektedir. Araştırma
bulgularının uygulamaları ve gelecekte yapılabilecek çalışmalar için öneriler
tartışılmıştır.
