Abstract
POLİTİK YETİ VE ÖRGÜTSEL BAĞLILIK ARASINDAKİ İLİŞKİ: Yöneticiler Üzerine Bir Araştırma Çalışmanın amacı, son yıllarda uluslararası literatürde ilgi çeken bir konu olan, yöneticilerin politik yetileri ile örgütsel bağlılıkları arasında bir ilişki olup olmadığının tespit edilmesidir. Araştırmanın verileri İstanbul ilinde, 12 farklı sektörde anket yöntemi uygulanarak elde edilmiştir. Katılımcıların politik yeti seviyelerini ölçmek amacıyla, Salim Atay tarafından Türkçe’ye standardize edilen, 18 soruluk “Politik Yeti Envanteri” kullanılmıştır. Katılımcıların örgütsel bağlılık seviyelerini ölmek amacıyla ise Arzu Wasti tarafından Türkçe’ye adaptasyonu sağlanan 33 soruluk “Örgütsel Bağlılık Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Analizler sonucunda yöneticilerin politik yetilerinin, duygusal ve normatif bağlılıklarıyla ve genel olarak da örgütsel bağlılıklarıyla pozitif yönde ilişkili olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bunun yanında yöneticilerin örgütsel bağlılıkları ile politik yetinin bir boyutu olan kişilerarası etki yeteneği arasında pozitif yönde bir ilişki olduğu görülmüştür. Son olarak, politik yetinin bir boyutu olan sosyal beceriklilik ile normatif bağlılık arasında pozitif yönde bir ilişki olduğu ve yine politik yetinin bir boyutu olan kişilerarası etki yeteneği ile duygusal bağlılık ve normatif bağlılık arasında da pozitif yönde bir ilişki olduğu görülmüştür. Bu bulgulara ilave olarak, yöneticilerin demografik ve iş deneyimi bilgilerinin, politik yetileri ve örgütsel bağlılıklarıyla ilişkili olup olmadığı incelenmiş ve önemli olduğu düşünülen bulgulara ulaşılmıştır.
