Algılanan Aşırı Niteliklilik: Üretkenliğe Karşı Durgunluk

Aşırı niteliklilik, çalışanların yaptıkları işin gereklerinden daha fazla niteliğe sahip olma durumunu ifade etmektedir. Aşırı niteliklilik algısı ise çalışanların kendilerinin, yöneticilerinin veya çalışma arkadaşlarının çalışanın niteliklerini işin gereklerinden fazla olarak algılamaları, çalışanların gelişim olanaklarının olmadığı yönündeki algısıdır. Araştırma aşırı nitelik algısının varlığını, nedenlerini ve etkilerini tespit etmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Araştırmanın örneklemini, araştırmanın evrenini oluşturan üniversitelerden Süleyman Demirel Üniversitesi fakültelerinde görev yapmakta olan idari personellerden amaçlı örnekleme metotlarından kartopu örnekleme yöntemi ile belirlenmiş olan 16 kişi oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada aşırı nitelikli algısına sahip olan kişiler ile görüşülmüş ve kişilerin işe giriş aşamasında eğitimlerinin, işe girdikten sonra ise deneyimlerinin aşırı nitelik algısına neden olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Aşırı niteliklilik algısına sahip olan çalışanlar öğrenme ve gelişim süreçlerine kendilerini kapatmış, aşırı olduğunu düşündükleri niteliklerini de değerlendirmek yerine atıl duruma bırakmayı tercih etmişlerdir. Araştırma sonuçlarından hareketle, algılanan aşırı niteliklilik türleri ile nedenleri arasında bir ilişki ortaya çıkarılmıştır. Algılanan aşırı nitelikliliğin diğer türleri ile nedenleri arasında ilişkilerin varlığı ile ilgili çalışmaların yapılması önerilmektedir. 

Perceived Overqualification: Stagnation Against Productivity

These people were determined with snowball sampling method of purposive sampling methods. In this study, we found that employees perceive themselves as overqualified due to their training at entry. Also they perceive themselves as overqualified because of their experience after entering the job. Employees with a perceive of overqualification have closed themselves to learning and development processes. Further employees with a perceive of overqualification prefer to leave it idle instead of using qualities that they think are excessive. Based on the research results, a relationship between the types of perceived overqualification and their causes, has been uncovered. It is recommended to carry out works intended for relationships between the types of perceived overqualification and their causes.
