Abstract

This study examines the relationship between personal learning and psychological empowerment and creativity. While prior studies have indicated that the workplace learning influences creativity through employee’s enhanced competence, they fail to recognize personal learning, an interpersonal aspect of learning, and its extended effects. The study asserts that personal learning is not only related with competence, but it is also related with the meaning of work, impact and autonomy of the job. Thus, the study hypothesize that personal learning is related to creativity through psychological empowerment. To test this hypothesis, a field survey is conducted on employees working at research and development-oriented firms, and data are collected from 107 employees and 57 superivors through survey forms. By using a multi-source (employee, supervisor) data collection, it is found that personal learning is indirectly related with creativity through psychological empowerment. In the light of these findings, theoretical and practical implications are discussed. Basically, it is noted that personal learning can be considered as an important training topic, and such learning can enhance creativity of employees by increasing their internal and autonomous motivations.

Özet

Bu çalışma, kişisel öğrenmenin psikolojik güçlendirme ve yaratıcılık ile ilişkisini incelemektedir. Daha önceki çalışmalar iş yerinde öğrenmenin çalışan yetkinliğini geliştirerek yaratıcılığı etkilediğini göstermektedir. ancak bu çalışmalar iş yerindeki kişiler arası ilişkilere odaklanan kişisel öğrenmeyi ve bunun kapsamlı etkisini dikkate almamaktadır. Bu araştırma, kişisel öğrenmenin sadece iş yetkinliği ile değil ayrıca işin anlamı, özerkliği ve işteki etki ile ilişkili olacağını iddia etmektedir. Dolayısıyla bu çalışma kişisel öğrenmenin psikolojik güçlendirme aracılığıyla yaratıcılık ile ilişkili olacağını savunmaktadır. Bu hipotezi test etmek için araştırma ve geliştirme odaklı şirketlerde çalışanlar üzerinde bir saha araştırması yapılmış ve 107 çalışandan ve 57 yöneticiden soru formu yoluyla veri toplanmıştır. Birden fazla kaynak (çalışan, yönetici) kullanılarak toplanan veriler analiz edildiğinde kişisel öğrenmenin psikolojik güçlendirme üzerinden yaratıcılık ile dolaylı ilişkili olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bu bulgular ışığında, teorik ve pratik katkılar tartışılmıştır. Temel olarak kişisel öğrenmenin de önemli bir eğitim konusu olabileceği ve bu tür bir öğrenmenin çalışanların içsel ve otonom motivasyonlarını yükselterek çalışanların yaratıcılığını arttıracağı belirtilmiştir.
