Abstract

In this study, it is aimed to determine the relation between organisational commitment and organizational cynicism effecting performance of organizations negatively but a very new concept in related literature. The population of this study consists of 3977 primary school teachers from 89 public schools in Keçiören District. The study was conducted with 403 primary school teachers. This is a descriptive survey. "Organizational Cynicism Scale" developed by Brandes in 1997 and adapted into Turkish by Erdost and her colleagues in 2007 and "Organizational Commitment Scale" developed by Balay in 2000 were used to collect data for the organizational cynicism level and organizational commitment level. In the analysis of the research data, percentages, frequencies, means and standard deviations and Pearson Correlation Technique were utilized. The findings indicated that the organisational cynicism level of teachers were lower than the organisational commitment level of teachers, and there was a negative-directed relation between the organisational cynicism and the organisational commitment.

Özet

Bu çalışmada, örgütlerin performansını olumsuz etkileyen ve alanyazında yeni bir kavram olan örgütsel yakınmacılık (organisational cynicism) ile örgütsel bağlılık (organisational commitment) arasındaki ilişki ele alınmıştır. Araştırmanın evrenini Keçiören İlçesinde 89 resmi ilköğretim okulunda görev yapan toplam 3977 öğretmen oluşturmaktadır. Çalışma 403 ilköğretim okulu öğretmeni ile yürütülmüştür. Araştırma tarama modelinde betimsel bir çalışmadır. Örgütsel yakınmacılık düzeyini ölçmek için Brandes (1997) tarafından geliştirilen ve Türkçe'ye uyarlaması Erdost ve meslekdaşları (2007) tarafından yapılan örgütsel yakınmacılık ölçeği; örgütsel bağlılık düzeyini ölçmek için ise Balay (2000) tarafından geliştirilen örgütsel bağlılık ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Araştırma verilerinin analizinde, yüzdeler, frekanslar, ortalama ve standart sapma ve Pearson Korelasyon analizi tekniğinden yararlanılmıştır. Araştırmanın sonuçları; öğretmenlerin örgütsel yakınmacılık düzeyinin örgütsel bağlılık düzeyinden daha düşük olduğunu ve örgütsel yakınmacılık ile örgütsel bağlılık arasında negatif yönlü bir ilişki olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır.
