Abstract
Son yıllarda araştırmacılar, kurumsal süreçlerde etkinliğe katkıda bulunabilecek değişkenlerin, örgütsel ve bireysel özellikler üzerinden etkilerini araştırmaktadırlar. Özellikle örgütsel düzeyde güçlendirmenin, çalışanların hem bireysel hem kurumsal düzeydeki çalışma koşullarına etkileri dikkat çekmektedir.Bu çalışma, yapısal güçlendirme ile örgütle özdeşleşme arasındaki ilişkiyi ve psikolojik güçlenmenin bu ilişkideki ara değişken rolünü araştırmayı hedeflenmektedir. Bu amaçla, İstanbul'da değişik meslek gruplarından 265 çalışan araştırmaya dâhil edilmiştir.Çalışanların güçlendirme ve özdeşleşme seviyelerini ölçmek için, "Yapısal Güçlendirme", "Psikolojik Güçlenme" ve "Örgütle Özdeşleşme" ölçekleri kullanılmıştır. Yapılan bir dizi regresyon analizi sonucunda, psikolojik güçlenmenin, yapısal güçlendirme ve örgütle özdeşleşme arasındaki ilişkide kısmı ara değişken rolü üstlendiği tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca, değişkenlerin alt boyutları arasındaki ilişkiler de incelenmiştir. Elde edilen bulguların, özellikle yapısal güçlendirmenin Gayri Resmi Güç boyutunun psikolojik güçlenmenin Anlam ve Özerklik boyutları üzerinden özdeşleşmeye etkisinin kültürel bağlamdaki önemi oldukça dikkat çekici bulunmuştur.
