The main purpose of this study is to investigate the mediator role of health workers' organizational support perceptions between job insecurity dimensions and turnover intentions. Participants of the study were 217 nurses and allied health professionals working in four private hospitals located in Balikesir, Turkey. According to results of hierarchical regression analyses, both quantitative and qualitative dimensions of job insecurity had positive effects on turnover intention. Furthermore, perceived organizational support had a partial mediator role between qualitative job insecurity and turnover intention. On the contrary, the results did not reveal any mediator effect of perceived organizational support between quantitative job insecurity and turnover intention since quantitative job insecurity did not have a significant effect on perceived organizational support. In the light of these results, several managerial suggestions related to support perceptions, quantitative and qualitative job insecurity concerns, and turnover intentions of health workers were provided, and implications for future researches were discussed.
Gerek küresel ya da ulusal ekonomik dalgalanmalar, gerekse işletmelerin uyguladıkları küçülme, birleşme, satın alma gibi farklı stratejilere bağlı olarak, çalışanların işlerini kaybetme endişesi ya da iş ortamındaki olumsuz değişiklikler olarak tanımlanabilecek olan iş güvencesizliği algılamaları muhtemel bir sonuçtur. Bu algı doğal olarak hem çalışanlar hem de işletmeler açısından çeşitli sonuçlar doğuracaktır. Bu çalışmada iş güvencesizliği üzerine bir literatür incelemesi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Öncelikle iş güvencesizliğinin tanımı, özellikleri ve boyutları belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Daha sonra iş güvencesizliğine karşı çalışanların gösterebilecekleri performans düşüklüğü, direnç ve ayrılma niyeti gibi tepkiler üzerinde durulmuştur. Son olarak literatürdeki çalışmaların sonuçları ele alınarak iş güvencesizliğinin örgütsel imaj ve destek algıları, işten ayrılma niyeti ve performans üzerindeki etkileri oraya koyulmuştur.
Problem: As a basic human emotion, jealousy affects most of the parts of people's life. Therefore, it is quite possible that jealousy has some effects in work life. However, there is not any study in Turkey aimed to determine these effects and their results in workplace. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore possible relationship between employee jealousy and turnover intentions of employees' and mediator role of organizational image perception on this relationship. A review of related literature shows that employee jealousy has a positive relationship with turnover intention. Also, literature review shows that organizational image has a negative association with turnover intention. As to relationship between jealousy and organizational image, there is not any study examining the relationship between these variables in the literature. Additionally, according to literature review, it is seen that researchers used organizational image in their studies as a mediator variable (e.g. between stress and turnover intention) but, again, there is not any study used organizational image as a mediator between jealousy and turnover intention. Methodology: In this study, face-to-face survey method was conducted to 340 health workers chosen through convenient sampling method among nurses and other allied health personnel working at four private hospitals in Balıkesir and its towns in Turkey. Data was analyzed by using structural equation modeling.
One of the factors determining perceptions, attitudes, and behaviors of people is emotions. Emotions rise in social relations at the process of interaction with other people. At the present time, these social relations take place most intensely in work places. However, it seems that jealousy, one of the most basic and influential emotions, is neglected in organization theory. In this study, the literature on workplace jealousy and organizational perceptions relationships have been reviewed and it is aimed to determine missing points in order to give an idea to future studies. As a result of literature review, it reveals that workplace jealousy not enough investigated in international studies. Besides, studies examining workplace jealousy in Turkey very rare.
