Sağlık Profesyonellerinde Güven ve Covıd-19 Korkusunun Örgütsel Destek ve Çalışma Arkadaşlarına Yardım İlişkisi Üzerindeki Etkisi

Öz

Bu araştırmada ilk olarak, örgütsel güvenin algılanan örgütsel destek ile çalışma arkadaşlarına yardım ilişkisindeki aracılık rolü incelenmiştir. Ardından, COVID-19 korkusunun örgütsel güven ile çalışma arkadaşlarına yardım ilişkisi üzerindeki düzenleyici rol sınanmıştır. Çalışma, Türkiye’deki kamu hastanelerinde görev yapan 401 sağlık profesyoneli üzerinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Anket yoluyla toplanan veriler yapısal eşitlik modellemesi ve hiyerarşik regresyon tekniği ile analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmanın bulgularına göre, algılanan örgütsel desteğin çalışma arkadaşlarına yardım üzerinde pozitif ve anlamlı bir etkisi bulunmaktadır. Ayrıca örgütsel güvenin bahse konu ilişki üzerinde tam aracılık etkisi mevcuttur. Son olarak, COVID-19 korkusunun örgütsel güven ile çalışma arkadaşlarına yardım ilişkisinde düzenleyici rolü tespit edilmemiştir.

Abstract

In this study, firstly, the mediating role of organizational trust in perceived organizational support and helping co-workers was examined. Next, the moderating role of COVID-19 fear on organizational trust and helping co-workers was tested. The study was performed on 401 health professionals working in public hospitals in Turkey. The data were collected through questionnaire and were analyzed by structural equation modeling and hierarchical regression technique. According to the findings of the study, perceived organizational support has a positive and significant effect on helping co-workers. In addition, organizational trust has a full mediating effect on this relationship. Finally, the moderating role of COVID-19 fear on the relationship between organizational trust and helping co-workers has not been established.
