Aşırı Rol Yükü: Neden-Sonuç Bağlamında Kuramsal Bir Değerlendirme

Bu çalışmanın amacı aşırı rol yükü kavramını ve kapsamını inceleyerek, aşırı rol yükünün nedenlerinin ve sonuçlarının, bireylerin iş ve iş yaşamı dışındaki etkilerine değinmektir. Rol taleplerinin fazlalığı karşısında zamanın yetersiz olarak algılanması olarak değerlendirilen aşırı rol yükü, bireylerin iş yaşamı ile birlikte iş ile ilgili olmayan yaşamına da önemli etkileri olan bir faktör olmaktadır. İş yaşamının getirdiği roller ve diğer roller, zamanın kısıtlı olması ile birlikte aşırı rol yükünü ortaya çıkarmakta ve bu durum özellikle çalışan bireylerin iş, aile ve bireysel yaşantısı üzerinde olumsuz etkilere neden olabilmektedir. Bu yüzden aşırı rol yükünün anlaşılması ve buna yönelik tedbirler alınması, bireysel olmasının yanında örgütsel açıdan da önemli bir konu olarak görülmektedir. Çalışmada ayrıca aşırı rol yüküne karşı bireylere ve örgütlere yönelik bir takım öneriler sunulmuştur.

Role Overload: A Theoretical Evaluation in the Context of Cause- Effect

The aim of this study is to review the concept of role overload and determine its extent, and to mention the reasons and results of role overload on the effects of individuals at work and out of work life. Viewed as lack of time in the face of excessive role demands, role overload is a factor that has important impacts on occupational life as well as life out of work life. Work-related roles and other roles bring out role overload with time constraints and this situation may cause negative impacts on the business, family and personal lives of especially employed individuals. For this reason, it is viewed as a significant topic both individually and organizationally to make role overload clear and to take measures against it. In this study, some suggestions have also been made to individuals and organizations based on role overload.
