Beş faktör kişilik özellikleri ve politik beceri ilişkisi

Abstract

Günümüz dünyasında insan faktörü hala en önemli konulardan biri olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Örgütlerde önemli bir rol oynayan bireyler, anlaşılma, değer görme, kendini ifade edebilme ve farklılık yaratma gibi ihtiyaçlarla var olmaktadır. Her birey birbirinden ayrı ve benzersiz kişilik yapılarına sahiptir. Çeşitli tanımlamalara sahip olan kişilik hakkında genel bir tanım yapılabilmesi ve bireylerin sergilediği davranışların ölçülebilmesi adına beş faktör kişilik özellikleri önem taşımaktadır. Bireylerin işletmelerinde başarılı ve etkili olabilmeleri adına, diğerlerini çıkarları doğrultusunda etkileyebilme, yönetebilme, kendisini istediği gibi sunabilme kabiliyeti olarak politik beceri kavramı karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı beş faktör kişilik özellikleri ile politik beceri arasındaki ilişkiyi tespit etmektir. Araştırmada anket yöntemi kullanılmış olup, İstanbul ilinde yer alan bir lojistik firmasının çalışanlarından elde edilen geçerli 121 veri setinden ulaşılan bulgulara istatistiksel analizler uygulanmıştır. Yapılan analizler sonucunda, beş faktör kişilik özellikleri ve politik beceri arasında anlamlı ilişkiye ulaşılmış, beş faktör kişilik özelliklerinin boyutlarından dışa dönüklük boyutu ile politik beceri arasında pozitif yönlü ve anlamlı ilişki saptanmıştır.
