The Effect of Employee Orientation Leadership Perception on Reverse Mobbing T...H.Tezcan Uysal
Reverse mobbing means; a subordinate or more than one subordinates starting a
psychological war against their superior (executive) and playing political games in order to
disrupt his superior hierarchical structure. The main difference that separates this concept
from the concept of mobbing is; while mobbing results in the leave of employment, reverse
mobbing results in the loss of hierarchical position. However, when the damage inflicted on
the organization by this hierarchical position loss is considered, it is seen that reverse
mobbing is a dangerous behavior at least as much as mobbing. Therefore, it is required to
analyze all intra-organizational, non-organizational, individual etc. factors causing reserve
mobbing. Hence, in this research, perceived leadership behavior that might cause reverse
mobbing, was analyzed.
The aim of this research is to determine if there is a relation in between perception of
employee orientation leadership and reverse mobbing tendencies of the employees.
Depending upon this aim, a research data was obtained from 191 workers with using snowball
sampling. The data obtained from the research was analyzed by reliability, correlation, simple linear regression, Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis H tests. According to the results of
this analysis, a significant negative relationship was found out between the workers’
leadership perception which is employee oriented and reverse mobbing tendency.
Furthermore, it was determined that; a one-unit increase in workers’ perception of employee
orientation leadership caused 0,709 unit decrease in their levels of reverse mobbing tendency.
In consequence of all these analyzes, perceived leadership behavior has taken its place in
literature as a new factor affecting reverse mobbing.

Abstract
The purpose of this study is analysing the work psychology through a holistic view, so
determining the right choice to designate a strategic management move through multi criteria
decision making method, by performing positive and negative work psychology analysis. In the
study, 221 the positive and negative work psychologies perception oriented to employees were
determined through survey method. The data were processed through correlation and regression
methods and a new set of information was obtained for ELECTRE analysis, a multi criteria
decision making method. Thus, the cycle of ELECTRE analysis was provided by using positive
work psychology outputs as alternative, and negative psychology outputs as criteria. In the result
of the analyses related to the work psychologies of employees, a reasonably significant relation
was determined between the outputs of positive and negative work psychologies. However, this
could not set forth which was the action plan to be implemented by managers. This problem was
solved through ELECTRE analysis. In the result of the ELECTRE analysis performed, it was
determined that, among the outputs of positive work psychology, “job satisfaction” was the most
dominant output to enhance the work psychology.

Test of Complicity Theory: Is External Whistleblowing A Strategic Outcome of ...H.Tezcan Uysal
Expressed as the announcement and revealing of unethical behaviors, the whistleblowing action is carried out
only because of the ethical necessities according to the complicity theory. However, the revealing of unethical
behaviors could become fact completely as a result of ethical achievements and as well in consequence of the
personal attitudes such as exhaustion, grudge and hatred. The most concrete example for this is the individuals
who escaped from criminal organizations and then became confessors. It is obvious that these persons left their
organizations and became confessors not because of ethical reasons but because of exhaustion and pressure. A
similar case exists in business life as well. Therefore, the complicity theory is tested in the study and it is looked
for an answer to the question of “Is the external whistleblowing action realized only due to an ethical necessity
or whether it becomes fact with the triggering of the negative I/O psychology?”. Related to this, it was conducted
a survey to 91 people working in the same public institution, and their whistleblowing attitudes and negative I/O
psychologies were examined. In the result of the analyses performed with correlation, multiple regression, One
Way ANOVA and Independent Sample tests, a significant relationship was found between the external
whistleblowing attitudes and negative I/O psychologies; and the complicity theory in the literature was rejected
in terms of external whistleblowing.
Afet i̇stasyonlarının kuruluş yeri seçiminde bulanık topsis yönteminin uygula...H.Tezcan Uysal
Afet istasyonlarının kuruluş yeri seçimi, olası afet durumlarında toplumun acil
yardım ihtiyacına en hızlı ve en etkin şekilde cevap verilebilmesi bakımından çok
önemlidir. Ayrıca, kuruluş maliyetinin yüksek olması ve tesisin yer değiştiremez
nitelikte olması da optimum kuruluş yeri seçimini zorunlu kılmaktadır. Bu
çalışmanın amacı, afet istasyonlarının kuruluş yeri seçiminde Bulanık TOPSIS
Yöntemi kullanarak Düzce ilinde belirli bir bölgede en optimal kuruluş yeri seçimini
yapmaktır. Bu amaca yönelik olarak dört aday afet istasyonu belirlenmiştir. Afet
istasyonlarını yerleşim bölgelerinin en uygun yerlerine konuşlandırılmak için
belirlenen kriterlerin bir kısmı nitel karakterli ve sözel belirsizlikler içermektedir.
Çalışmada sözel belirsizlikler üçgen bulanık sayılar kullanılarak karşılaştırılabilir
sayılara dönüştürülmüş ve aday afet istasyonları pozitif ideal çözüme yakınlığı
açısından değerlendirilmiştir. Buna göre, Düzce de belirli bir yerleşim bölgesinde
afet istasyonunun kurulması için en uygun kuruluş yeri 0.665 yakınlık katsayısı ile
küçük su parkı ve verem savaş dispanserinin bulunduğu lokasyon olarak
saptanmıştır
Abstract
The selection of the establishment site of the disaster stations is a matter of life and
death in the sense that it can respond to the immediate assistance call of the
community in a fastest and most effective way in case of possible disasters. Besides,
the fact that the organization cost is high and the facility is unable such as to change
its place oblige the optimum location selection. The aim of this study is to select the
most optimal site of establishment in a designated region in Düzce by using Fuzzy
TOPSIS Method. Four candidate disaster stations were determined in line with this purpose. Some of the criteria determined for deploying the disaster stations in the
most suitable places of sites of establishment contain qualitative-based and verbal
uncertainties. İn the study, the verbal uncertainities were converted into comperable
numbers by using triangle fuzzy numbers and candidate disaster stations were
evaluated in terms of their proximity to positive ideal solution. Accordingly, the
most appropriate site of establishment in order for the disaster station to be
established was ascertained in Düzce as the location where the small water park and
tuberculosis control dispensary with the proximity coefficient of 0.665 is situated.

Correlation Analytics of Blue-Collar Employees’ Organizational Levels in Coal...H.Tezcan Uysal
The aims of this study are determining the organizational burnout, organizational commitment
and job performance levels of the employees that work in coal mining and finding out the influences
of these levels upon each other. In accordance with this purpose, a study, which is aimed at
blue-collar workers that work within the facilities of Turkish Hard Coal Enterprise (TTK)—Turkey’s
biggest coal operation, was carried out. Survey technique was used in this study, and the prepared
questionnaires were conducted to 1238 blue-collar workers through face-to-face method.
Maslach’s “Maslach Burnout Inventory” and Allen and Meyer’s “Organizational Commitment Scale”
were taken as bases in the preparation of these questionnaires. The data obtained in the research
was analyzed through correlation and regression analyses, one-way analysis and independentsamples
T-test. In the result of the analyses carried out, a significant relation was not found between
the organizational commitment and the organizational burnout levels and between the organizational
commitment and the job performances of blue-collar workers, while it was determined
that 1 unit of increase in organizational burnout level caused 0.460 unit of decrease in job
performance. However, the determination of both high organizational burnout and high worker
performance in the same TTK organization was interpreted as the development of organizational
burnout based on performance, which is rarely seen in the literature.

In parallel with this purpose, a research was done concerning the employees worked in the micro-sized SMEs. In the conducted research, five factors under work psychology were associated with organizational cynicism and three factors under organizational cynicism were associated with the employee’s performance, and totally ten hypotheses were generated. In the result of the regression analyses made concerning the hypotheses, it was determined that the factors of organizational commitment, organizational motivation and work satisfaction, which were analysed under the work psychology, had decreased the cynicism and the factors of organizational stress and intent to leave had increased the organizational cynicism. And it was determined that these changes in the organizational cynicism gave reason for an important decrease on the employee’s performance.
