Abstract:

 


In this study,
factors that predict optimism and subjective well-being in the workplace were
investigated. For this purpose, the role of self-transcendence and behavioral
inhibition system, which is seen as variable, was tried to be determined. This
study was conducted on 287 academic staff who were working at a foundation
university. The harmonized state of the optimism, subjective well-being scale
for the workplace, mission oriented and relationship oriented leadership,
behavioral inhibition system, self-transcation and perceived
supervisor support scales have been applied to academics that are easily reached by sampling
method and results were examined. The data has been analyzed through SPSS and
AMOS programs. The study found that an individual's optimism increases his or
her happiness at work, but this effect becomes significant when relationship
oriented behaviour seen from the manager enters the model. In addition,
perceived concrete manager support has been seen to have a direct positive
meaningful effect on happiness at work. However it was found that individuals
with high self-transcendence had less fears of wrongdoing. On the other hand,
while the optimistic employee's workplace happiness was also high, there was a
significant decrease in workplace happiness due to the anxiety that arose as
the employee's avoidance of wrongdoing behaviour increased.
