Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to examine the effect of academics’ perceptions of positive psychological capital and its subdimensions (optimism, hope, psychological resilience, and self-efficacy) on job performance. Methodology: Face-to-face and online surveys were administered to 245 academics working at Batman University. The validity of the scales was tested using confirmatory factor analysis, and their reliability was tested using Cronbach's Alpha. Relationships between variables were evaluated using Pearson correlation, and the effects were assessed using simple and multiple linear regression analyses. Findings: As a result of the Pearson correlation analysis, it was determined that there was a strong, positive, and significant relationship between positive psychological capital and job performance. When the subdimensions were examined, it was observed that the relationship between hope and self-efficacy and job performance was high, while the relationship with psychological resilience was moderate and with optimism was low. As a result of the simple linear regression analysis, it was determined that positive psychological capital had a positive and significant effect on job performance. In the multiple linear regression analysis, it was revealed that hope and psychological resilience had a significant effect on job performance, whereas optimism and self-efficacy did not have a significant effect. Originality: The originality of the study lies in examining the effect of positive psychological capital on job performance among academics following the February 6, 2023 earthquakes, addressing the effects of the sub-dimensions of optimism, psychological resilience, hope, and self-efficacy on job performance separately, and evaluating them in terms of professional productivity.

Özet

Amaç: Bu araştırma, akademisyenlerin pozitif psikolojik sermaye ve alt boyutlarına (iyimserlik, umut, psikolojik dayanıklılık ve öz-yeterlilik) yönelik algılarının iş performansı üzerindeki etkisini incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Yöntem: Batman Üniversitesi’nde görev yapan 245 akademisyene yüz yüze ve çevrimiçi anketler uygulanmıştır. Ölçeklerin geçerliliği doğrulayıcı faktör analiziyle, güvenilirliği Cronbach’s Alpha ile test edilmiştir. Değişkenler arasındaki ilişkiler Pearson korelasyon, etkiler ise basit ve çoklu doğrusal regresyon analizleriyle değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Pearson korelasyon analizi sonucunda, pozitif psikolojik sermaye ile iş performansı arasında güçlü, pozitif yönlü ve anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu belirlenmiştir. Alt boyutlar incelendiğinde, umut ve öz-yeterlilik ile iş performansı arasındaki ilişkinin yüksek, psikolojik dayanıklılık ile orta ve iyimserlik ile düşük düzeyde olduğu görülmüştür. Basit doğrusal regresyon analizi sonucunda, pozitif psikolojik sermayenin iş performansı üzerinde pozitif yönde ve anlamlı bir etkisinin olduğu saptanmıştır. Çoklu doğrusal regresyon analizinde ise umut ve psikolojik dayanıklılığın iş performansı üzerinde anlamlı etkisinin olduğu, iyimserlik ve öz-yeterliliğin ise anlamlı bir etkisinin olmadığı ortaya konulmuştur. Özgünlük: Çalışmanın özgün yönü, pozitif psikolojik sermayenin iş performansı üzerindeki etkisinin 6 Şubat 2023 depremleri sonrasında akademisyenler örnekleminde incelenmesi, iyimserlik, psikolojik dayanıklılık, umut ve öz yeterlilik alt boyutlarının iş performansı üzerindeki etkilerinin ayrı ayrı ele alınması ve mesleki verimlilik açısından değerlendirilmesidir.
