Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of different levels of Organizational Identification (OI) and Education variables as moderators on the relationship between Percived External Prestige (PEP) and Organizational Commitment (OC). Study carried out among 206 white collor employees who were working automotive industry firms in Bursa/Turkey. In related literature some researchers displayed that PEP association with OC by moderetor role of Organizational Identification. Thus we accepted this model and investigate the impact of diffrent level of moderator variable(s) on focal predictor .For this purpose, we used best subset regression procedure and simple slope tecniques for identify the different levels effects of moderator variables. The results showed that Education and OI were not only basic moderators but also their different levels have produced remarkable and various impacts on PEP and OC relationship.

Keywords: Education, Organizational Commitment, Organizational Identification, Percived External Prestige, Simple Slope

Öz

Bu çalışmada Algılanan Örgütsel Prestij ile Örgütsel bağlılık arasındaki ilişkide Örgütsel özdeşleşme ve eğitim değişkenlerinin moderatör etkisini ortaya koymak amaçlanmaktadır. Bu kapsamda Bursa’da otomotiv endüstrisinde faaliyet gösteren bir firmanın 206 beyaz yakalı personeli üzerinde bir saha araştırması yürütülmüştür. İlgili yazında Algılanan Örgütsel Prestij (PEP )ile Çalışanların Örgütsel Bağlılıkları(OC) arasında Örgütsel Özdeşleşmenin(OI) aracı bir rol üstlendiği belirtilmektedir. Yazındaki bu model kabul edilerek farklı düzeylerdeki moderatör değişkenin etkisi incelenmiştir. Bu çerçevede tüm olası altküme regresyon modeli ile özel eğilim analiz ( best subset regression procedure and simple slope tecniques ) teknikleri kullanılarak moderatör değişkeninin farklı düzeylerinin söz konusu modelde yarattığı etki analiz edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Yürütülen analizler Algılanma Örgütsel Prestij ve Örgütsel Bağlılık ilişkisinde, eğitim ve örgütsel özdeşleşme değişkenlerinin temel moderatör olmalarının ötesinde ilgili moderatör değişkenlerinin farklı düzeylerinin söz konusu ilişkiyi çarpıcı ve farklı şekillerde etkiledikleri sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
