Yükseköğretimde Etik Liderlik ve İşyeri Zorbalığı

Bu çalışma yükseköğretimde etik liderlik ve işyeri zorbalığı arasındaki ilişkiyi ve bu ilişkide psikolojik güvenlik ve psikolojik sözleşme tatmini kavramlarının aracılık rollerini araştırmaktır. Çalışma 2011-2012 bahar eğitimöğretim döneminde İstanbul, Ankara, İzmir, Kayseri, Konya ve Gaziantep illerinde bulunan ve rastlantısal olarak seçilen 9 vakıf üniversitesindeki 591 öğretim üyesi ve dekanlarını kapsamaktadır. Öğretim üyelerinin psikolojik güvenlik ve psikolojik sözleşme tatmin düzeyleri sırasıyla Kahn (1990) tarafından geliştirilmiş "psikolojik güvenlik ölçeği" ile Robinson ve Morrison (1995) tarafından geliştirilmiş "psikolojik sözleşme tatmin ölçeği" ile değerlendirilmiştir. Brown, Treviño, ve Harrison'un (2005) "etik liderlik ölçeği" ile Einarsen ve Hoel'in (2001) "gözden geçirilmiş işyeri zorbalığı ölçeği" öğretim üyelerinin bağlı bulundukları fakülte dekanlarının etik liderlik düzeyleri ve işyeri zorbalığı algılarını ölçmektedir. Sonuçlar etik liderlik ile işyeri zorbalığı arasında olumsuz ve önemli bir ilişki ve bu ilişkide psikolojik güvenlik ve psikolojik sözleşme tatmin kavramlarında aracılık rolleri bulunduğunu göstermiştir
