PSİKOLOJİK SÖZLEŞME İHLALİNİN YENİLİKÇİ DAVRANIŞA ETKİSİ: ÖRGÜTSEL SESSİZLİĞİN ROLÜ: SAVUNMA SANYİİNDE BİR UYGULAMA

Yenilikçi davranış, işyerinde ürün ve uygulamalara ilişkin yeni fikirlerin üretilmesi olarak tanımlanabilir. Psikolojik sözleşme ise çalışan davranışlarının önemli bir belirleyicisidir. Psikolojik sözleşmenin ihlaline yönelik bir algı, çalışanlarda olumsuz tutum ve davranışlara neden olabilmektedir. Çalışanların psikolojik sözleşmelerinin ihlal edildiğine yönelik algıları, psikolojik ve güvenliğe ilişkin endişelerinden dolayı sessiz kalmalarına neden olmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, psikolojik sözleşme ihlalinin yenilikçi davranışa etkisi ve bu ilişkide örgütsel sessizliğin aracılık rolünü incelemektir. Araştırma verileri, savunma sanayiinde faaliyet gösteren iki farklı firmada çalışan toplam 213 kişiden elde edilmiştir. Ölçeklerin yapı geçerliliği doğrulayıcı faktör analiziyle; değişkenler arasındaki ilişkiler ve aracılık etkisi korelasyon ve regresyon analiziyle incelenmiştir. Analiz sonuçları psikolojik sözleşme ihlalinin çalışanların yenilikçi davranışını olumsuz olarak etkilediğini ve örgütsel sessizliğin bu ilişkide tam aracılık etkisine sahip olduğunu göstermektedir. Araştırma bulgularının uygulamaları ve gelecekte yapılabilecek çalışmalar için öneriler tartışılmıştır.

THE EFFECT OF PSYCHOLOGİCAL CONTRACT BREACH ON INNOVATIVE WORK BEHAVIOR: THE ROLE OF ORGANIZATIONAL SILENCE: AN APPLICATION FOR DEFENSE INDUSTRY

Innovative behavior refers to behaviors that involve the production and implementation of new ideas at workplace. Psychological contract is an important determinant of employee behavior. A perception of the psychological contract breach may lead to negative attitudes and behaviors. Employees may behave silently because of the psychological and security concerns in case of violation of the psychological contract breach. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of psychological contract breach on the innovative work behavior and the mediating role of organizational silence in this relationship. Survey data were collected from a sample of 213 employees from two firms in defense industry. Confirmatory factor analysis is conducted for testing scale validity; correlation and regression analyses are applied for testing the relationship and mediating effect respectively. The result showed that psychological contract breach has negative effect on the innovative work behavior and organizational silence has the mediating role in the relationship between psychological contract breach and innovative work behavior.
