THE EFFECT OF ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT ON JOB PERFORMANCE: MEDIATING EFFECT OF ORGANIZATIONAL JUSTICE THE MODERATING OF JOB INSECURITY

Gül GÜN, — 2024-08-29

Employees' motivations, behaviours, emotions and attitudes play a critical role for companies. Organizational commitment facilitates the responsibilities of employees in line with the goals and objectives of the organization with motivation and volunteering. The main determinant of organizational commitment is the organizational justice. The perception of justice regarding the extent to which employees are treated or not treated fairly in the evaluation of their gains in their activities reveal the importance of the perception of justice in the increase or decrease of the performance of employees. Another important factor affecting the performance of employees is the job insecurity. Depending on its evaluation as a negative perception, job insecurity is likely to have negative consequences in terms of individual and organization. This study investigates the regulatory effect of organizational justice, job insecurity, on the effect of organizational commitment on contextual and task performance. For this purpose, data were collected through a questionnaire with 100 participants from the province of Elazig fire brigade workers. Confirmatory factor analysis was performed for scale validity, and relationships between variables were determined. In order to test the mediation and regulatory role, the significance of the indirect effects was examined and the boostrap method was used for this. As a result of the research, the mediating effect of organizational justice on the effect of normative commitment on contextual performance was determined. The regulatory effect of job insecurity in the effect of organizational commitment (normative, emotional, attendance) on functional and contextual performance has not been determined.

Evren ATIŞ,, Şaban ÇELİKOĞLU — 2024-08-29

In the present study, it was aimed to find answers to the following questions: “what are the natural and human conditions that identify the geographical distribution of the Kağızman Long (Uzun) Apple, the level of its production status and what can be done for its sustainability?” The Kağızman Long Apple, which is a local product identified with the Kağızman district of the Kars province, is one of the apple varieties specific to Anatolia. The Kağızman Long Apple, which has gained its shape and aromatic taste through integrity with the geographical and cultural features of the endemic place, has come to be transferred as an important cultural heritage from the past to the present. "Kağızman Long Apple", which has been produced on a limited scale until recently, and has been forgotten, started to become a product of interest after it was registered as a geographical indication in 2017. The long apple, which is cultivated only in the Kağızman District in our country, is both an economic resource with its high potential and an alternative to apricot in fruit growing. There are a total of 8265 long apple trees that belong to 168 farmers along the valley bases and deposit areas formed by the Aras River and its branches and sheltered thanks to the climate. The vast majority of the apples grown are marketed to the immediate local towns and cities. However, with its increasing popularity and recognizability, the fruit has started to find a place on the shelves in the fruit departments in big cities. In order to be able to meet the expectations of the Kağızman Long Apple cultivation, which is carried out as a traditional farming activity, insufficiencies such as irrigation, cold storage, becoming a cooperative and marketing must be eliminated.
