The Effect of Professional Attitude on Motivation with a Strategic Management Perspective: The Mediating Role of Trust

Abstract

Employees' professional attitudes, motivation, and trust perceptions should be positive to be more successful and productive in their professions. Based on these research topics, the primary purpose of this study is to measure the effect of the trust mediation role and professional attitudes on the motivation of non-managerial employees working in the provincial units of a public institution in Ankara. The data obtained from 392 employees were analyzed using SPSS and AMOS programs, and structural equation modeling was used. As a result of the findings, it was understood that professional attitude did not have a statistically significant mediating effect on trust, and trust did not have a statistically significant mediating effect on motivation. According to the results obtained, professional attitude had a statistically significant impact on motivation. Increasing the perceptions of human capital, which is the most crucial resource of organizations, such as motivation and attitude towards work, will prevent negative situations such as leaving the organization and burnout syndrome.

Stratejik Bir Yönetim Perspektifi ile Mesleki Tutumun Motivasyona Etkisi: Güven’in Aracılık Rolü

Öz

Çalışanların mesleklerinde daha başarılı ve verimli olabilmeleri için mesleki tutumlarının, motivasyonlarının ve güven algılarının olumlu olması gerekmektedir. Bu araştırma konularından hareketle bu çalışmanın öncelikli amacı, Ankara'da bir kamu kurumunun bağlı taşra birimlerinde görev yapan ve yönetici pozisyonunda olmayan çalışanlarının güven aracılığı rolü ile mesleki tutumlarının motivasyon üzerindeki etkisini ölçmektir. Araştırmada 392 çalışandan elde edilen veriler SPSS ve AMOS programları kullanılarak analiz edilmiş ve yapısal eşitlik modellemesi kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular neticesinde mesleki tutumun güven üzerinde, güvenin ise motivasyon üzerinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir aracılık etkisinin olmadığı anlaşılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre mesleki tutumun motivasyon üzerinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir etkiye sahip olduğu görülmüştür. Örgütlerin en önemli kaynağı olan insan sermayesinin motivasyon ve işe yönelik tutum gibi algılarının artırılması, örgütten ayrılma ve tükenmişlik sendromu gibi olumsuz durumların önüne geçecektir.
