Abstract:

 The intention to leave the job is an organizational problem that can lead to the behavior of quitting the job. In order to retain employees in the organization for long periods of time, the organization must take appropriate measures. Therefore, it is important to identify the factors that may lead to the intention to leave the job. This study examines the relationship between affective commitment and turnover intention among white-collar municipal employees and the moderating role of excessive workload in this relationship. A survey was conducted among 185 municipal employees in Salihli, a district of Manisa province. The data were analyzed using SPSS and AMOS, and techniques such as regression, simple slope, and confirmatory factor analysis were employed. The findings indicate a negative relationship between emotional commitment and turnover intention, and that work overload has a regulatory effect on this relationship. However, no significant relationship was found between emotional commitment and work overload or between work overload and turnover intention. These findings are important for organizations to understand the reasons why their employees leave their jobs.

 İşten ayrılma niyeti, işten ayrılma davranışı öncesi oluşan ve örgütleri olumsuz yönde etkileyen bir örgütsel sorundur. İş gücü devrine neden olabilecek olan bu niyet örgüt açısından ciddi maliyetler doğurabilmektedir. Dolayısıyla çalışanların uzun yıllar boyunca görev yaptıkları örgütlerden ayrılmamaları için örgüt yönetimleri çeşitli kararlar almak zorundadır. Bu nedenle işten ayrılma niyetine sebep olabilecek unsurları tespit etmek son derece değerli olmaktadır. Bu çalışma, belediye çalışan beyaz yakalılar arasında duygusal bağlılık ile işten ayrılma niyeti arasındaki ilişkiyi ve bu ilişkide aşırı iş yükünün düzenleyici rolünü araştırmayı amaçlamaktadır. Manisa iline bağlı bir ilçe olan Salihli belediyesinde 185 belediye çalışanı örnekleminde bir anket yapılmıştır. Verilerin analizi SPSS ve AMOS ile gerçekleştirilmiş olup Regresyon, Simple Slope, Doğrulayıcı Faktör Analizi ile uygulanmıştır. Araştırmanın bulguları, duygusal bağlılığın işten ayrılma niyeti ile negatif bir ilişkisi olduğunu ve aşırı iş yükünün bu ilişkide düzenleyici etkiye sahip olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu anlamda, aşırı iş yükü arttıkça, duygusal bağlılığın işten ayrılma niyeti üzerindeki koruyucu etkisi azalmaktadır. Buna karşın, duygusal bağlılık ile aşırı iş yükü arasında ve aşırı iş yükü ile işten ayrılma niyeti arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmamıştır. Söz konusu bulgular, örgütlerin çalışanlarının işten ayrılma sebeplerini anlamaları bakımından önem taşımaktadır.
