2016
Turkish Abstract: Insanlarin olumluluklerine yonelik farkindaliklarinin yarattigi olum korkusunun (dehset), ozsaygi ve/veya kulturel dunya gorusune artan bir aidiyetle baglanma istegiyle hafifletilebilecegini ileri suren Dehset Yonetimi Kurami, Turkiye de dahil olmak uzere farkli ulkelerde yapilan bircok deneysel calisma ile test edilmistir. Ancak, cesitli kulturlerde ve farkli degiskenlerle deneysel olarak test edilen kuram, insanlarin gunluk yasamlarinin onemli bir bolumunu kapsayan is yasaminda ve bu yasamin beraberinde getirdigi ozellikler ve kavramlar baglaminda pek calisilmamistir. Belirli bir sirkette ya da orgutte calisiyor olmanin onemli bir sosyal kimlige isaret etmesi nedeniyle; bireylerin calistiklari sirket ya da orgutlerle ozdeslesmelerinin ve bu icgruplari destekleyen davranislar sergilemelerinin de varolussal bir tehdit olan olumluluk farkindaligi ile bas etmede onemli bir kaynak olabilecegi dusunulmektedir. Bu baglamda, mevcut calismanin amaci, oncelikle Dehset Yonetimi Kuraminin temel varsayimlarini belli basli arastirmalari sunarak tanitmak ve soz konusu kuramsal yaklasimin is yasamindaki yansimalarini degerlendirmektir. Bu amacla, kuramin temel varsayimlarinin bireylerin calistiklari sirket ya da orgut kimlikleri uzerinde test edildigi ve yine bireylerin is yasamindaki davranislari ve orgut kimligi uzerindeki etkilerini arastiran calismalar aktarilacaktir.English Abstract: Terror Management Theory posits that individuals try to buffer the anxiety that stems from the awareness of being mortal by (1) maintaining high self-esteem that enables people to see themselves as valuable contributors in a meaningful world, and (2) defending their cultural worldviews, thus attaching meaning, permanence, order and stability to their lives. The aforementioned hypotheses of this theory have been empirically tested and investigated in different cultures, taking numerous variables into account. However, effects of mortality salience on work life and concepts related to the work life have not been adequately studied yet. People spend most of their lives at work. Therefore the organization they are working for might as well influence their social identity. So, organizational identification and commitment might be considered as important sources for buffering death anxiety, which is an existential threat. The main purposes of this article are to introduce Terror Management Theory by reviewing certain experimental research, and to evaluate the reflections of the theory on work life. With this purpose in mind, the research, in which the main hypotheses of Terror Management Theory were tested on variables related to work life such as organizational identification, will be presented.
