Abstract
The perception of job insecurity may cause various organizational problems, although it causes the employees to work inefficiently in the organization, decrease their motivation and decrease their performance, especially in business life. On the other hand, it is thought that employees' self-efficacy perceptions and quality of work-life will reduce the perception of job insecurity and enable employees to work in harmony in the organization. This study's main purpose is to determine whether job insecurity, which is a negative organizational perception, has a regulatory function in the relationship between job self-efficacy and job quality of life perceptions. In the study, the question "Does job insecurity affect the relationship between self-efficacy and quality of work-life" is tried to be answered. According to the quantitative research method, the research was designed and designed according to the general survey model's relational survey model. According to the simple random sampling technique for the academicians of a foundation university operating in Ankara, the research data were collected. In analyzing the data, descriptive analysis and difference and relationship tests were performed using AMOS and SPSS programs. According to the findings obtained from the research data analysis, self-efficacy has a positive effect on the quality of work-life, while job insecurity has a negative effect on the quality of work-life. It was also determined that job insecurity plays a regulatory role in the relationship between perception of self-efficacy and quality of work-life. As a result, it is seen that self-efficacy and the perception of the quality of work-life as positive perceptions strengthen employees' positive behaviors in the organization. On the other hand, it has been determined that the increased perception of job insecurity also weakens the employees' positive perceptions.

ÇALIŞANLARIN ÖZ YETERLİLİK ALGILARININ İŞ YAŞAM KALİTELERİNE ETKİSİNDE İŞ GÜVENCESİZLİĞİ ALGILARININ DÜZENLEYİCİ ROLÜ: VAKIF ÜNİVERSİTESİ ÖRNEĞİ

İş güvencesizliği algısı, özellikle iş yaşamında çalışanların örgütte verimsiz çalışmalarına, motivasyonlarının düşmesine ve performanslarının azalmasına neden olmakla birlikte örgütte çeşitli sorunlara yol açabilecektir. Diğer yandan çalışanların öz yeterlilik algıları ile iş yaşam kaliteleri iş güvencesizlik algısını azaltarak çalışanların örgütte uyumlu bir biçimde çalışmalarını sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir. Bu araştırmanın temel amacı iş öz yeterlilik ve iş yaşam kalitesi algıları arasındaki ilişkide olumsuz örgütsel algı olan iş güvencesizlik algısının düzenleyici bir işlev görüp görmediğini belirlemektir. Araştırmada “öz yeterlilik ile iş yaşam kalitesi ilişkisinde iş güvencesizliği aracı bir etkiye sahip midir” sorusu cevaplandırılmaya çalışılmıştır. Araştırma nicel araştırma yöntemine göre tasarlanarak, genel tarama modelinden ilişkisel tarama modeline göre desenlenmiştir. Araştırma verileri Ankara ilinde faaliyet gösteren bir vakıf üniversiteleri akademisyenlerine yönelik basit tesadüfi örnekleme tekniğine göre toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde AMOS ve SPSS programları kullanılarak betimsel analizler ile fark ve ilişki testleri yapılmıştır. Araştırma verilerinin analizinde elde edilen bulgulara göre öz yeterliliğin iş yaşam kalitesi üzerinde pozitif etkisi bulunurken, iş güvencesizliğinin iş yaşam kalitesi üzerinde negatif yönlü etkisi bulunmuştur. Buna ek olarak iş güvencesizliğinin öz yeterlilik algısı ile iş yaşam kalitesi algısı arasındaki ilişkide düzenleyici rol oynadığı belirlenmiştir. Sonuç olarak öz yeterlilik ile iş yaşam kalitesi algısı olumlu algılamalar olarak çalışanların örgütte olumlu davranışlarını güçlendirdiği görülmektedir. Diğer yandan iş güvencesizlik algısının artması da çalışanların olumlu algılamalarını zayıflattığı belirlenmiştir.
