YENGEÇ SENDROMUNUN YENİLİKÇİ DAVRANIŞLAR ÜZERİNDEKİ YANSIMASI: ALGILANAN ÖRGÜTSEL DESTEĞİN ARACI ROLÜ VE BİLİŞİM TEKNOLOJİLERİ İŞLETMELERİNDE BİR UYGULAMA

Bu çalışma, yengeç sendromunun yenilikçi davranışlara etkisinde algılanan örgütsel desteğin aracılık rolünü tespit etmek amacı ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda çalışma nicel araştırma desenlerinden tarama modeline göre yürütülmüştür. Sosyal karşılaştırma ve sosyal değişim kuramlarına dayanarak oluşturulan araştırma modelinde yengeç sendromu tahmin değişkeni, algılanan örgütsel destek aracı değişken ve yenilikçi davranış sonuç değişkeni olarak ele alınmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemini, bilişim sektöründe çalışan 200 katılımcı oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmanın hipotezleri yapısal eşitlik modeli ve bootstrap yöntemi kullanılarak test edilmiştir. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre, yengeç sendromunun yenilikçi davranışı negatif olarak yordadığı ve algılanan örgütsel desteğin bu ilişkide tam aracı etkisinin olduğu görülmüştür. Araştırmanın katkıları ve kısıtları tartışılmış, gelecek çalışmalar için öneriler sunulmuştur.

REFLECTION OF CRAB SYNDROME ON INNOVATIVE BEHAVIORS: MEDIATOR ROLE OF PERCEIVED ORGANIZATIONAL SUPPORT AND AN APPLICATION IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES ENTERPRISES

This research was conducted for the purpose of detecting the mediator role of perceived organizational support in the innovative behavior effect of the crab syndrome. For this purpose, the study was carried out according to the screening model, one of the quantitative research designs. In the research model created based on social comparison and social change theories, the crab syndrome predictor variable, perceived organizational support mediator variable and innovative behavior outcome variable were considered. The sample of the research consists of 200 participants working in the IT sector. The hypotheses of the research were tested using the structural equation model and bootstrap method. According to the results of the research, it was seen that the crab syndrome negatively predicted innovative behavior and perceived organizational support had a full mediator effect in this relation. The contributions and limitations of the research were discussed, and suggestions for future studies were presented.
