Havacılık Sektöründe Güvenlik İklimi Algısı İle Bilgi Teknolojileri Verimliliği Etkileşimi: Uçak Bakım Teknisyenleri Üzerinde Bir Araştırma

Amaç – Bu araştırma işgörenlerin algıladıkları güvenlik iklimi ile bilgi teknolojileri verimliliği arasındaki ilişkiyi tespit etmek amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Yöntem – Türkiye genelinde çeşitli firmalarda görev yapan uçak bakım teknisyenlerinden tesadüfi örneklem yolu ile elektronik ortamda veriler toplanmış, uygun doldurulmuş olan 228 anket formu analizlere dâhil edilmiştir. Yapısal geçerliliği için örnekleme Doğrulayıcı ve Açımlayıcı Faktör Analizleri uygulanmıştır. Ardından hipotez testi için çoklu doğrusal regresyon analizi yapılmıştır. Bulgular – Analiz sonuçları; ölçeklerin yapısal geçerliliğinin uygun olduğunu ve uçak bakım teknisyenlerinin algıladıkları güvenlik iklimi düzeyinin (iki boyutu ile birlikte) bilgi teknolojileri verimliliğini anlamlı ve olumlu yönde etkilediğini desteklemektedir. Tartışma – Sonuçlar; iş sağlığı ve güvenliğinin sağlanması için çok önemli görülen, destek ve yatırımı hak ettiği düşünülen bir kavram olan çalışanların örgüte ilişkin pozitif güvenlik iklimi algılarının onların bilgi teknolojileri verimliliğini de olumlu yönde etkilediğini göstermektedir. Çünkü bilgi teknolojilerinin örgüt hedefleriyle uyumlu şekilde kullanılabilmesi çalışanların projenin başlangıcından itibaren ve tüm aşamalarına katkısına ve sahiplenmesine bağlıdır. Doğaldır ki işgörenlere atfedilen kıymet örgüte yönelik tutum ve davranışlarını olumlu yönde etkilemektedir. Bu yüzden, ortaya koyulan bu ilişkinin özel ve kamu sektöründeki örgüt yönetimlerince dikkate alınmasının uygun olacağı düşünülmektedir.

The Association of Safety Climate Perception and Information Technologies Productivity in Aviation: A Research on Airplane Maintenance Technicians

Purpose – This study aims to ferret the association between perceived safety climate and information technology productivity in aviation sector Design/methodology/approach – The data is collected from aircraft maintenance engineers and technicians working for different companies via random sample method using online survey form. Appropriately filled 228 forms are decided to be ıncluded in the analyses. Confirmatory and Exploratory Factor Analyses are conducted for the construct validation of the scales. Then, Multiple Linear Regression Analysis is performed to test our hypothesis. Findings – Analyses show that the scales have construct validity and perceived safety climate (with its two dimensions) significantly increases information technology productivity. Discussion – The findings support that safety climate, which is considered as a prominent concept deserves to be advocated and invested in order to establish occupational health and safety environment also increases the level of information technology productivity. Because the use of information technology compliant with the organisational objectives depends on the contribution of, and ownership provided by employees from the onset and during all stages of the project. It seems natural that value ascribed employee develops positive attitudes and behaviours towards organisation. Thus, this mechanism should be taken in the consideration by private and public organisation managements.
