Abstract

The fundamental problem of this research is whether the perception of psychological safety has an impact on employee voice. The effect of psychological safety on employee voice is discussed in line with the social exchange theory on which both variables are theoretically based. Due to the limited studies in the literature on the interaction between psychological safety and employee voice, and the absence of research conducted specifically in the context of bank employees, this study is considered significant for its potential contribution to the national literature. Studies in the literature emphasize the importance of employee voice, but also indicate the need to explore the psychological mechanisms that encourage employee voice. The purpose of this quantitatively and empirically designed study is to determine the effect of the perception of psychological safety on employee voice behavior. For this purpose, 485 bank employees working in public and private banks operating in Istanbul constituted the sample of the study. According to the results obtained through structural equation modeling, it was determined that psychological safety has a positive and significant effect on employee voice. The results of the research are expected to contribute to future research designs for researchers interested in the topic and to guide organizations and managers aiming to gain a competitive advantage by enhancing their employees’ psychological safety and encouraging them to engage in voice behavior.

Özet

Bu araştırmanın temel problemi, psikolojik güvenlik algısının çalışan sesliliği üzerinde etkisinin olup olmadığıdır. Psikolojik güvenliğin çalışan sesliliği üzerindeki etkisi, her iki değişkenin de kuramsal olarak dayandırıldığı sosyal mübadele kuramı doğrultusunda ele alınmıştır. Literatürde psikolojik güvenlik ve çalışan sesliliği etkileşimi üzerine yapılan çalışmaların sınırlı oluşu ve banka çalışanları evreninde ele alınmış bir araştırmaya rastlanmamış olması nedeniyle araştırma özellikle ulusal literatüre katkı sağlaması açısından önemli görülmektedir. Literatürde var olan çalışmalar, çalışan sesliliğinin önemini vurgulamakla birlikte çalışan sesliliğini teşvik eden psikolojik mekanizmaların da keşfedilmesinin gerekliliğini belirtmektedir. Nicel ve görgül olarak tasarlanan bu çalışmanın amacı, psikolojik güvenlik algısının çalışan sesliliği davranışı üzerindekini etkisini belirlemektir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda İstanbul ilinde faaliyet gösteren kamu ve özel bankalarda çalışmakta olan 485 banka çalışanı araştırmanın örneklemini oluşturmuştur. Yapısal eşitlik modeli aracılığıyla elde edilen sonuçlara göre psikolojik güvenliğin çalışan sesliliği üzerinde pozitif ve anlamlı bir etkisinin olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Araştırma sonuçlarının konuya ilgi duyan araştırmacılara gelecekte yapacakları araştırma tasarımları noktasında; ayrıca rekabet avantajı elde etmek isteyen örgüt ve örgüt yöneticilerine ise çalışanlarının psikolojik güvenliklerini artırma ve onların seslilik davranışlarında bulunmalarını sağlama noktasında yol göstererek katkı sunması beklenmektedir.
