Abstract

The aim of the study is to examine the similarities and differences between the motivational states of individuals with light and dark personality traits while exhibiting unethical pro-organizational behaviors. It is planned to contribute to the literature by integrating the contrasting structure of light and dark personality traits with the contrasts of unethical pro-organizational behaviors. In this study, which was prepared with a qualitative research design, the research population consists of bank personnel who are working actively in our country. Within the scope of the study, face-to-face and online interviews were conducted with 11 bankers over a semi-structured questionnaire. As a result of the qualitative analysis, autonomy, support from the top management and workplace happiness are motivational factors, and goal pressure, the colleague's unprofessional behavior and authoritarian management were found to be demotivating factors for the light and dark triad. In addition, according to Self-Determination Theory, extrinsic motivation was observed in displaying unethical pro-organizational behaviors; The phenomena between motivation and unethical pro-organizational behaviors in terms of the light and dark triad were examined and discussed.

Özet

Çalışmanın amacı aydınlık ve karanlık kişilik özelliklerine sahip bireylerin etik olmayan örgüt yanlısı davranışları sergilerken sahip oldukları motivasyon durumları arasındaki benzerlik ve farklılıkları tespit etmektir. Aydınlık ve karanlık kişilik özelliklerinin birbirine zıt yapısının, etik olmayan örgüt yanlısı davranışların bünyesinde bulundurduğu zıtlıklarla entegre edilerek, yazına katkı sağlanması planlanmaktadır. Nitel araştırma deseni ile hazırlanan çalışmanın evrenini ülkemizde görev yapmakta olan banka personeli oluşturmaktadır. Çalışma kapsamında 11 bankacı ile yarı-yapılandırılmış soru formu üzerinden yüz yüze ve online görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Nitel analizler sonucu, aydınlık ve karanlık üçlü için özerklik, üst yönetimin desteği ve iş yeri mutluluğunun motivasyon arttırıcı faktörler olduğu; hedef baskısı, meslektaşın profesyonel olmayan davranışları ve otoriter yönetimin motivasyon azaltıcı faktörler olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca etik olmayan örgüt yanlısı davranışların sergilenmesinde, Öz-Belirleme Teorisine göre dışsal motivasyon ile hareket edildiği görülmüş; aydınlık ve karanlık üçlü açısından motivasyon ve etik olmayan örgüt yanlısı davranışlar arasındaki olgular incelenmiş ve tartışılmıştır.
