THE EFFECT OF SELF-DIRECTION ACTION ON IDENTIFICATION WITH SUPERVISOR AND AFFIRMATIVE COMMITMENT

Identification with supervisor and affirmative commitment are some of the emotional behaviors of employees. Self-direction action value is one of the ten basic values of Schwartz value classification. Self-direction action is related to autonomy of thought and represents the cognitive behaviors of employees. This research aims to demystify the effect of self-direction action on identification with supervisor and affirmative commitment. The importance of this study is to reveal the mechanism behind the relationship between cognitive and emotional behaviors. The research hypotheses put forward a negative relation between self-direction action and identification with supervisor and affirmative commitment. The hypotheses have been supported based on the results of the analyses. Self-Direction Action (SDA) has a negative effect on Identification with Supervisor (IDS) and on Affirmative Commitment (AFC).

KENDİNİ YÖNETME DAVRANIŞININ YÖNETİCİNİN DEĞERLERİNİN ÖZDEŞLEŞTİRİLMESİ VE DUYGUSAL BAĞLILIK ÜZERİNE ETKİSİ

Çalışanların yöneticinin değerlerini kabullenerek kendisi ile özdeşleştirmesi ve duygusal bağlılık, çalışanların duygusal davranışlarından bazılarıdır. Kendini yönetme davranışı, Schwartz tarafından oluşturulan sınıflamada yer alan on değerden birini oluşturmaktadır. Kendini yönetme davranışı, bağımsız düşünce biçimi ile ilgilidir ve çalışanların bilişsel davranışlarını temsil eder. Bu çalışmanın amacı, kendini yönetme davranışının yöneticiye bağlılığın bir boyutu olan yöneticinin değerlerinin özdeşleştirilmesi ve duygusal bağlılık üzerine etkisini açıklamaya yardımcı olmaktır. Bu çalışmanın önemi, bilişsel ve duygusal davranışlar arasındaki ilişkinin mekanizmasını açıklığa kavuşturmaktır. Araştırmada kendini yönetme davranışı ile yöneticinin değerlerinin özdeşleştirilmesi ve duygusal bağlılık arasında negatif yönlü bir ilişki olacağı düşünülmüş ve hipotezler bu şekilde ileri sürülmüştür. Analiz sonuçlarına göre, oluşturulan hipotezler desteklenmiştir. Kendini yönetme davranışı ile yöneticinin değerlerinin özdeşleştirilmesi ve duygusal bağlılık arasında negatif yönlü bir ilişki ortaya çıkmıştır.
