Boreout yoğun bir can sıkıntısı, bir anlam ve büyüme
krizi olarak işgörenleri olumsuz yönde etkileyen psikolojik bir durum şeklinde
ifade edilmektedir. Genel olarak işgörenleri “profesyonel zombi” haline
getirebilecek zihinsel uyarı eksikliği ile birlikte ilişkilendirildiği
düşünülmektedir. Kaynakların korunumu (COR) teorisine dayanarak, bu çalışmada
boreoutun, kariyer uyumluluğu üzerindeki etkisinin yanı sıra aile-iş
zenginleştirmesinin düzenleyici etkisi incelemektedir. Araştırmada Selçuk
Üniversitesi idari personellerinden elde edilen veriler kullanarak (n = 250)
yapısal eşitlik modelleme tekniği uygulanmıştır. Veriler, (1) boreout'un
çalışanların kariyer uyumluluğu üzerinde olumsuz bir etkisinin bulunduğunu, (2)
aile-iş zenginleştirmenin çalışanların kariyer uyumluluğunu yönde olumlu
etkilediğini ve (3) aile-iş zenginleştirmenin, boreout ve çalışanların kariyer uyumluluğu
arasındaki ilişkiyi düzenleyici rolünün olmadığını ortaya koymuştur. Araştırma
sonucunda, örgütlerin iş tasarımını yeniden değerlendirmeleri ve işlerini
zenginleştirmelerinin gerekliliği, iş taleplerinin yoğunlaştırılarak ve kişi-iş
uyumuna dikkat edilerek iş başında karşılaşılan zorlukların çözülmesi gerekliliği
sonuçlarına varılmıştır. Araştırma değişkenlerinin etkileri ve gelecekteki
araştırma yönleri tartışılmaktadır.

THE INTERACTIN BETWEEN BOREOUT, CAREER ADAPTABILITY AND FAMILY-WORK ENRICHMENT: A CASE STUDY OF SELCUK UNIVERSITY

Öz

Boreout is a psychological state of intense
boredom, a crisis of meaning and growth. It is commonly associated with the
lack mental stimuli which can turn employees into ‘professional zombies’.
Drawing on conservation of resources (COR) theory, this article examines the
impact of boreout on career adaptability, as well as the moderating effect of
family–work enrichment.  Utilizing data
from employees in the service industry (n=250), a structural equation modeling
technique was employed. The data unveiled that (1) boreout has a negative
impact on employee career adaptability, 
(2) that family–work enrichment has a positive impact on employee career
adaptability, and (3) that family–work enrichment does not moderates the
relationship between boreout and employee career adaptability. The authors
concluded that organizations should address the problematic lack of on-the-job
challenges, by reevaluating job design, enriching jobs, weighing work demands,
and a careful consideration of person-job fit. Implications and future research
direction are discussed.
