Özet

Bu çalışmada, bankacılık sektörü çalışanlarının algıladıkları işyeri kibri ile çalışanların örgütsel bağlılıkları ve örgütsel bağlılığın alt boyutları olan duygusal bağlılık, devam bağlılığı ve normatif bağlılık arasındaki ilişki incelenmiştir. Çalışmanın amacı, bankacılık sektörü çalışanlarının içerisinde bulundukları işyerlerinde, maruz kaldıklarını düşündükleri ve algıladıkları kibirli davranışların, yaklaşımların ve uygulamaların, görev yaptıkları işletmeye ve örgüte bağlılıklarını nasıl ve ne oranda etkilediğini tespit etmektir. İşyeri kibri sıklıkla liderlerin kibirli davranışları ile ilişkilendirilmektedir. Araştırma 422 bankacının katılımı ile gerçekleştirilmiştir ve algılanan işyeri kibri ile örgütsel bağlılık ve örgütsel bağlılığın alt boyutlarını ölçmek amacı ile 2 farklı ölçek kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda algılanan işyeri kibrinin genel olarak örgütsel bağlılık üzerinde negatif etkisi saptanmıştır. Örgütsel bağlılığın alt boyutları üzerinde ise yine değişen oranlarda olmakla birlikte negatif etkileri tespit edilmiştir.
