The Role of Feedback in Psychological/Emotional Well-Being: A Study on Research Assistants

Çal›flman›n amac› araflt›rma görevlilerinin psikolojik ve duygusal iyi olufl- lar› üzerinde içsel motivasyon ile birlikte geribildirimin rolünü incele- mektir. Çal›flma kapsam›nda uzman görüflleri, odak grup görüflmeleri ve pilot araflt›rma arac›l›¤› ile örnekleme uyarlanm›fl Etkin Geribildirim Öl- çe¤i gelifltirilmifltir. Sonras›nda anket yöntemi ile saha araflt›rmas› yap›l- m›fl, yap›sal eflitlik modellemesi yaklafl›m› ile akademik dan›flmanlardan (ADG) ve bölüm baflkanlar›n›n al›nan geribildirimlerin (BBG) etkisini in- celemek üzere 278 araflt›rma görevlisinin verisi üzerinde iki ayr› model test edilmifltir. Araflt›rman›n bulgular›na göre; BBG’nin araflt›rma görev- lilerinin iflyerinde duygusal iyi olufluna, ADG’den daha fazla etkili oldu¤u görülmüfltür. ADG ise araflt›rma görevlilerinin psikolojik iyi olufllar›na ve içsel motivasyonlar›na, BBG’den daha fazla etki etmektedir. Her iki grup- tan al›nan geribildirimlerin hem psikolojik hem de duygusal iyi oluflu an- laml› ve yüksek düzeyde art›ran içsel motivasyona etkisinin anlaml› ve önemli düzeyde oldu¤u görülmüfltür. Ayr›ca iyi olufllarda etkili olan geri- bildirim özellikleri; geribildirimde diyalo¤a izin verilmesi, gelifltirme ve yard›m etme amaçl› yap›lmas›, objektif olmas›, daha fazla olumlu olmas› ve çözüm önerisi içermesi olarak tespit edilmifltir.

The Role of Feedback in Psychological/Emotional Well-Being: A Study on Research Assistants

The aim of the study is to examine the role of feedback and intrinsic motivation on research assistants’ psychological and emotional well- being. First, an Effective Feedback Scale adapted to sampling was devel- oped through expert opinions, focus group interviews and piloting. Afterwards, a field survey was conducted, and two separate models were tested on the data of 278 research assistants to examine the effect of the feedback received from academic advisors (feedback of academic advisor, FAA) and department heads (feedback of department heads, FDH) with the structural equation modeling approach. It was found that the FDH is more effective than the FAA on the emotional well-being of research assistants in the workplace. The FAA has a greater impact on the psycho- logical well-being and intrinsic motivation of research assistants than the FDH. The effect of feedback received from both groups was significant on intrinsic motivation, which increased both psychological and emo- tional well-being significantly. In addition, the feedback characteristics that had a positive effect on well-being were identified as allowing dia- logue in giving feedback, giving it for development and assistance, its being objective and positive, and including a solution proposal
