An Investigation on the Relationship Between Work Locus of Control and Union Commitment

Bu çalışmada sendikaya bağlılığı gösteren tutumların (sendikalılığın önemine inanma, sendikaya karşı sorumluluk, sendikaya sadakat ve sendika için çalışmaya isteklilik) işte denetim odağına göre nasıl değiştiğinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. İncelenen 127 anketin sonuçları, sendikaya karşı sorumluluğun denetim odağı ile doğru orantılı olarak değiştiğini ortaya koymaktadır. İşte denetim odağı ile, sendikaya bağlılığa ilişkin diğer üç tutum (sendikalılığın önemine inanma, sendikaya sadakat ve sendika için çalışmaya isteklilik) arasında ise düşük ancak olumlu ilişkiler olduğu saptanmıştır.(Denetim odağına ilişkin yüksek puanlar içten denetimlilik göstergesidir.)

İşte Denetim Odağı ile Sendikaya Bağlılık Arasındaki İlişki Üzerine Bir Araştırma

The present study intended to analyze how union commitment attitudes, namely belief in unionism, responsibility to the union, union loyalty and willingness to work for the union change with work locus of control. Analyses of 127 survey responses indicate that changes in responsibility to the union are directly proportional with work locus of control. There found to be low but positive relationships between work locus of control (higher scores indicated internality) and the other three union commitment attitudes (belief in unionism, union loyalty and willingness to work for the union). (Higher scores in locus of control indicated internality.)
