Psikolojik Sermayenin Yenilikçi Davranış Üzerindeki Etkisinde Psikolojik Güvenliğin Aracılık Rolü

Günümüzde küreselleşme, bilgi ve iletişim teknolojilerindeki gelişmelerle birlikte, hemen hemen tüm örgütler büyük riskler ve rekabet baskıları getiren dinamik bir çevrede faaliyetlerini sürdürmektedir. Bu son derece dinamik ve çalkantılı iş ortamında, örgütlerin hayatta kalabilmesi ve sürdürülebilir rekabet avantajı elde edebilmesi için yenilikçi olması önemli bir öncelik olarak kabul edilmektedir. Örgütsel yenilik veya yenilikçilik sürecinde çalışanlar önemli bir rol oynamaktadır. Özellikle, çalışanların yenilikçi davranışlarının bir örgütün yenilik performansı için hayati önem taşıdığı söylenebilir. Bu araştırmanın temel amacı psikolojik sermaye ile yenilikçi davranış arasındaki ilişkide psikolojik güvenin aracılık rolünü incelemektir. Araştırmanın örneklemini tekstil sektöründe çalışan 320 katılımcı oluşturmuştur. Katılımcılardan anket yöntemiyle elde edilen veriler, açıklayıcı ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizi, tanımlayıcı istatistikler, korelasyon ve bootstrap regresyon analizleri yapılarak test edilmiştir. Araştırma sonuçları, psikolojik sermayenin hem doğrudan hem de psikolojik güvenlik aracılığı ile dolaylı olarak yenilikçi davranışın önemli bir yordayıcısı olduğunu göstermektedir. Sonuçlar, aynı zamanda psikolojik güvenliğin psikolojik sermaye ile yenilikçi davranış arasındaki ilişkiye kısmen aracılık ettiğini de doğrulamıştır. Bu çalışmada, çalışanların işyerinde yenilikçi davranışları için teorik ve pratik çıkarımlar sunulmuştur.
