Abstract

Exclusion of an individual due to a phenomenon related with a feature of himself or herself which is disrespectable by a society is stated as stigma concept by sociologist Erving Goffman in 1963. Stigma in the workplace damages individual's reputation without considering employee is right or not. Stigma is usually called as “Damgalama” in Turkish related literature. In general, stigmatised people in the workplace feel like outsider, belittled, underrated by supervisors and colleaques. These people think that they are hard done and marginalised by others because of their differentness as language, tongue, religion, nation, sectarian, political opinion, gender, sexual preference, physical and medical barries. Stigmatization in the organization will be approved if the stigma situation is not adaptable with organizational culture and contrary to ethical value judgement. In this manner, individual and organisational affords will be endamaged with the opposed efficiency behaviours and job deviation tendency by who perceived discrimination exposed. The impact of characteristics features dimensions(extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness,emotional stability, openness to the experiencee-innovation) on the relation between stigma and deviation variables is studied in this article. It is planned to advise organisations the negative effects of stigmatisation over the employee behaviours. The Field study contains white collar workers. The data was collected for the research was analyzed by the proper statistical methods through SPSS 21.
