Ringelmann etkisi olarak da bilinen sosyal kaytarma, temelde bireylerin işe sunduğu katkının, gruptaki insan sayına bağlı olarak etkilendiğini savunmaktadır. Sosyal kaytarma davranışı, özellikle grup çalışması olan örgütlerde araştırılması, önlem alınması ve üzerinde durulması gereken önemli bir konudur. Sosyal kaytarmayla davranışları, örgütlere zarar verdiği ve çalışanların verimliliğinin azalması sebebiyle örgütler açısından istenmeyen bir durumdur. Bu çalışmada öncelikle sosyal kaytarma kavramı açıklanmış, ardından, sosyal kaytarmaya sebep olan kişisel ve bir takım örgütsel sebeplere yer verilmiş ve daha sonrasında ise, sosyal kaytarma kavramı kaynakları koruma teorisi perspektifinden incelenerek, örgütlerde sosyal kaytarmayı davranışlarını azaltmaya yönelik bir takım önlemler sunulmuştur.

RESOURCE CONSERVATION THEORY APPROACH TO SOCIAL LOAFING BEHAVIOR

Öz

Social loafing, also known as the Ringelmann effect, basically argues that the contribution of individuals to work is affected by the number of people in the group. Social loafing behavior is an important issue that needs to be investigated, taken precautions and focused on, especially in organizations with group work. Social loafing is an undesirable situation for organizations as it harms organizations and decreases employee productivity. In this study, first of all, the concept of social loafing is explained, then personal and some organizational reasons that cause social loafing are included, and then, the concept of social loafing is examined from the perspective of the theory of resource conservation, and some measures are presented to reduce social loafing behaviors in organizations.
