ARAŞTIRMA GÖREVLİLERİNİN KENDİNİ SABOTAJ EĞİLİMLERİNİN İNCELENMESİ

Bu çalışmanın öncelikli amacı, araştırma görevlilerinin kendini sabotaj düzeylerinin belirlenmesidir. Çalışma kapsamında, katılımcıların kendini sabotaj düzeylerinin cinsiyet, medeni durum, kıdem ve kadro durumu gibi kategorik değişkenlere göre farklılaşıp farklılaşmadığının belirlenmesi de amaçlanmıştır. Nicel araştırma yaklaşımının benimsendiği bu araştırmanın çalışma grubunu İstanbul ve Ankara’da devlet üniversitelerinde istihdam edilen araştırma görevlileri (N=408) oluşturmaktadır. Veriler, Jones ve Rhodewalt (1982) tarafından geliştirilen ve Türkçe adaptasyon çalışması Akın (2012) tarafından gerçekleştirilen 6lı Likert tipi 25 maddeden oluşan “Kendini Sabotaj Ölçeği-KSÖ” ile toplanmıştır. Veriler, 2014-2015 akademik yılının bahar döneminde online olarak toplanmıştır. Çalışma kapsamında toplanan verilerin analizinde aritmetik ortalama, standart sapma, t testi ve ANOVA’dan yararlanılmıştır. Kullanılan ölçeğin yapı geçerliği AMOS’ta yürütülen doğrulayıcı faktör analizi ile, güvenirliği ise Cronbach alfa değeri ile incelenmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda, araştırma görevlilerinin kendini sabotaj eğilimlerinin görece düşük olduğu ve çalışma kapsamında incelenen demografik değişkenlere göre ise eğilimlerinin anlamlı bir farklılık göstermediği belirlenmiştir.
