Levels of organizational commitment for federation employees

Bu araştırmanın amacı, spor federasyonlarında çalışan genel sekreter, spor uzmanı ve memurların örgütsel bağlılık düzeylerini belirlemektir. 183 kişiyi kapsayan araştırmanın verileri, Meyer, Allen ve Smith (1993) tarafından geliştirilen “Üç Boyutlu Örgütsel Bağlılık Ölçeği” aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. Çalışmada, örgütsel bağlılığın üç farklı boyutu olan duygusal bağlılık, devam bağımlılığı ve normatif bağlılık ele alınmış, federasyon çalışanlarının örgütlerine olan bağlılık düzeylerini belirlemeyi hedeflemiştir. Ayrıca federasyon çalışanların, cinsiyetlerine, görevlerine, yaşlarına, eğitim durumlarına ve kurumdaki çalışma yıllarına göre örgütsel bağlılığın farklılık gösterip göstermediği araştırılmıştır. Yapılan istatistiki analizler sonucunda, federasyon çalışanlarının en fazla gösterdiği bağlılık düzeyinin duygusal bağlılık olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca, cinsiyet ve eğitim durumu değişkenleri ile örgütsel bağlılık düzeyleri arasında anlamlı farklılığa rastlanırken, görev, yaş ve kurumdaki çalışma süreleri değişkeni arasında anlamlı bir farka rastlanmamıştır

This paper deals with the levels of organizational commitment for general secretaries, sport experts and civil servants working in sport federations. 183 persons are included in the research. Data for the research have been collected through “Three Dimensional Organizational Commitment Scale” developed by Meyer, Allen and Smith (1993). In this paper, organizational commitment is examined in three different dimensions as emotional commitment, continuance commitment and normative commitment, and also the levels of commitment for federation employees to their organizations are determined. Moreoever, this paper analyzes whether organizational commitment differs by federation employees’ genders, duties, ages, educational background and working years in organization. In consequence of statistical analysis, federation employees have more emotional commitment at most. As some differences are found in gender, educational background variables and organizational commitment levels, no significant difference is found in variables of duty, age and working periods in organization.
