%0 Journal Article %T The Mediating Role of Prejudice in Mobbing and Organizational Commitment %A Ali BALTACI %J - %D 2018 %X This study aims to determine the effect of prejudice on the relationship between organizational commitment and mobbing. Mobbing is the negative actions and behaviors that an employee in an organization applies to other employees. Organizational commitment implies that the employee is adopting an organization and that he/she is trying for the organization willingly. Prejudice is oftentimes a negative prognostication because of lack of information against a person or a group. Although there are studies on mobbing and organizational commitment in the literature, there is no study linking these concepts with prejudice. The research sample consists of 391 teachers working in Ankara. In order to measure organizational commitment, mobbing and prejudice behaviors, scales developed by the researcher based on the literature were used. This research was designed with correlational survey model. Data were analyzed by correlation and hierarchical regression tests. According to the results of the research, professional tenure, age and school size influence organizational commitment, mobbing, and prejudice. A significant and negative relationship was found between mobbing and organizational commitment. Likewise, a significant and negative relationship was found between prejudice and organizational commitment. However, there is a meaningful and positive relationship between prejudice and mobbing. As a result of the hierarchical regression analysis, prejudice was found to be completely mediated between organizational commitment and mobbing. This research is the first research to determine the relationship between concepts in literature %K £¿rg¨¹tsel Ba£¿l£¿l£¿k %K Psikolojik Y£¿ld£¿rma %K £¿nyarg£¿ %K Arac£¿l£¿k %U http://dergipark.org.tr/bseusbed/issue/36736/411725
