A Research on the Relationship Between Organizational Commitment and Organizational Cynicism

Endüstriyel üretim toplumundan bilgi ve tüketim toplumuna geçerken, örgütselbağlılık son yıllarda üzerinde en çok durulan kavramlar arasındadır. Örgütsel bağlılık,çalışanın işletmeyle olan ilişkisini şekillendiren, işletmede çalışmaya devam etme kararınınalınmasını sağlayan psikolojik bir durumdur. Çalışmanın bir diğer boyutu olan örgütselsinizm ise, kişinin çalıştığı örgüte yönelik olumsuz tutumu olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır.Örgütsel sinizmin nedenleri arasında kişilik, psikolojik sözleşme ihlali, liderlikdavranışındaki eksiklikler vb. sayılmaktadır. Literatürde her iki kavram farklı örgütselçıktılarla ilişkilendirilerek ele alınmış ancak özellikle Türkçe literatürde her iki kavramınmuhtemel ilişkisine değinen çalışma sayısı sınırlı kalmıştır. Bu çalışma, iletişim alanındakibu açığı kapatma noktasında bir adım atmak amacıyla kaleme alınmış; konuya yöneliktartışma sürecine katkı sağlamak amacıyla Kayseride faaliyet gösteren 6sı 3 yıldızlı,4ü 4 yıldızlı olmak üzere konaklama işletmelerinin 412 çalışanına örgütsel bağlılık veörgütsel sinizm ölçeği uygulanarak, sonuçlar örgütsel dinamikler bağlamında tartışılmayaçalışılmıştır. Araştırma yöntemi olarak anket çalışması tercih edilmiş; örgütsel bağlılıkAllen ve Meyer (1990) tarafından geliştirilen örgütsel bağlılık ölçeği ile, örgütsel sinizm iseDean vd. (1998) tarafından geliştirilen örgütsel sinizm ölçeği kapsamında ölçümlenmeyeçalışılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda çalışanların örgütsel sinizm düzeylerinin, onlarınörgütlerine olan bağlılık düzeylerini etkilediği sonucuna varılmıştır.
