Bu çalışmanın örneklemini 2008-2009 güz döneminde Ankara, İstanbul, İzmir, Antalya, Samsun, Erzurum ve Gaziantep'te rassal metotla seçilen 13 devlet üniversitesindeki 622 öğretim elemanı ve üst (dekanlar) oluşturmaktadır. Dekanın güç kaynakları Kişilerarası Güç Envanteri kullanılarak ölçülmüştür. İş stresini ve örgüt kültürünü değerlendirmek için İş Stresi Anketi ve Örgüt Kültürü Profili kullanılmıştır. Bu çalışmada, hipotezlerin test edilmesinde düzenlenmiş hiyerarşik regresyon analizi kullanılmıştır. Bu çalışmanın sonuçları, Örgüt Kültürü Profilinden saldırganlığın, sert güç kaynakları ile iş stresi arasındaki olumlu ilişkiyi kuvvetlendirdiğini ve diğer bir boyut olan bireylere saygının bu ilişkiyi azalttığını ortaya çıkartmıştır. Ayrıca bireylere saygı boyutu yumuşak güç kaynakları ve iş stresi arasındaki olumsuz ilişkiyi zayıflatmıştır.

Güç kaynakları ve iş stresi arasındaki ilişkide örgüt kültürünün rolü

The purpose of this research is to examine the moderating role of organizational culture in the relationship between leader’s power bases and subordinate’s job stress. Totally 622 lecturers and their superiors (deans) from 13 state universities chosen by random method in Ankara, İstanbul, İzmir, Antalya, Samsun, Erzurum and Gaziantep in 2008-2009 fall semester, constitute sample of the research. Dean’s power bases were measured using the Interpersonal Power Inventory (IPI). Job Stress Survey and The Organizational Culture Profile (OCP) were used to assess job stress and organizational culture respectively. In the study, the hypotheses were tested by using moderated hierarchical regression. The results of this study reveal that aggressiveness dimension of culture from the OCP, strengthened the positive relationship between harsh power bases and job stress and another dimension, respect for people, weakened that relationship. Furthermore, respect for people dimension strengthened the negative relationship between soft power bases and job stress.
