Abstract

In this article, the main points is to find whether the survivor bank managers consider downsizing to be an opportunity for their personal growth or consider themselves to be obliged to work harder due to workload and evaluate the new situation threaten them to be laid-off the next. Accordigng to research results, it was revealed that the survivor bank managers' organizational commitment and trust to upper management is lower and they feel themselves less empowered than the managers who reported that there was no laid off worker in their banks. In detailed analyses, it was found that the survivor bank managers' cognition- based trust to their upper level managers was lower although their effect- based trust was the same with managers working in the banks where there was no downsizing. However survivor bank managers were found to be feeling less empowered related to the competence, self-determination and impact dimensions of the general empowerment.

Özet

Bu çalışmada, kriz nedeniyle işten çıkarımlar sonrası küçülen bankalarda kalan yöneticilerin bu durumu kendi bireysel gelişmeleri için bir fırsat olarak mı değerlendirdikleri yoksa iş yüzü artışı nedeniyle daha çok çalışmaları gereken ve bir süre sonra sıranın kendilerine geleceği endişesi mi yaratacağı temel çıkış noktası olmuştur. - Çalışma sonucunda krizde işten çıkarımların olduğu banka yöneticilerinin işten çıkarımların olmadığı banka yöneticilerine göre örgütsel bağlılıklarının daha düşük, üstlerine duydukları güvenin daha az olduğu ve kendilerini daha az güçlendirilmiş hissettikleri anlaşılmıştır. Yapılan detaylı analiz sonucunda çalışma kapsamına alınan banka yöneticilerinden işten çıkarımların olduğu bankalarda çalışanların üstlerine duydukları duygusal güvenin değil de bilişsel güvenin daha az olduğu ortaya konulmuştur. Ayrıca, işten çıkarımların olduğu bankalarda çalışan yöneticilerin, güçlendirmenin alt boyutlarından yeterlilik, seçim ve etki boyutları bakımından kendilerini daha az güçlendirilmiş hissettikleri belirlenmiştir.
