Örgütsel Yapılarda Romantik İlişkiler: Algılanan Güdüler ve Davranış Değişiklikleri Üzerine Bir Araştırma

Bu çalışmanın amacı, çalışanların (gözlemcilerin) algılarına göre, işyerinde romantik ilişki yaşayan bireylerin işyeri romantizmine yönelmelerinde oluşturdukları güdü oluşumlarını ve davranış değişikliklerini belirlemektir. Araştırma sonucunda işyeri romantizmi içindeki taraflarda daha çok kayırmacılık davranışının görüldüğü, işyeri romantizmine kadınların aşk güdüsüyle, erkeklerin ise ego güdüsüyle yöneldiği tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca, araştırmaya katılan gözlemcilerin daha önce işyeri romantizmi yaşamaları ile işyerinde yaşanan romantik ilişkileri onaylamaları arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmamıştır.
