 Bu çalışmanın ilk amacı, nepotizm ve duygusal tükenmişlik düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkiyi ortaya koymaktadır. Ayrıca çalışmada psikolojik sermayenin aracılık etkisinin olup olmadığına bakılmıştır. Çalışmanın teorik kısmında, nepotizm, duygusal tükenmişlik ve psikolojik sermaye kavramları ele alınmıştır. Literatürde nepotizm, duygusal tükenmişlik ve psikolojik sermaye ile ilgili daha önce yapılan ampirik çalışmalar incelenmiş ve bu doğrultuda araştırma modeli oluşturularak hipotezler geliştirilmiştir. Hipotezleri test edebilmek amacıyla anket tekniği ile Bayburt il ilçe milli eğitim müdürlüğünde görev yapan yöneticilerden ve öğretmenlerden 455 adet veri toplanmış olup SPSS ve AMOS programları aracılığıyla gerekli analizler yapılmıştır. Yapılan analizlerin sonucunda nepotizm ile duygusal tükenmişlik ilişkisi pozitif yönlü ve anlamlı, nepotizm ile psikolojik sermaye arasındaki ilişki negatif yönlü ve anlamsız, psikolojik sermaye ile duygusal tükenmişlik arasındaki ilişki ise negatif yönlü ve anlamlı bulunmuştur. Ayrıca psikolojik sermayenin, nepotizm ile duygusal tükenmişlik ilişkinde kısmi aracılık etkisinin bulunduğu anlaşılmıştır.
