Abstract

In this study, it was investigated whether the perceived organizational identification levels differ in terms of socio-demographic characteristics of employees. In this context, the data set of the study was reached with the survey method applied to 1,105 employees selected by random sampling method among the employees in the organized industrial enterprises of TRC1 Zone. SPSS 22.0 program was used to analyze the data set. In this study, it was decided to use the organizational identification scale developed by Cheney (1982) in order to determine the organizational identification levels of the employees. However, as a result of extensive researches and investigations, the 18-item scale used by Çakınberk et al. (2011) and Balcı et al. (2012) was used for organizational identification. The reliability coefficient of the scale was 0.927. As a result of the analysis of the hypotheses of the study with MannWhitney U and Kruskal Wallis H tests, significant differences were found between the perceived organizational identification levels in terms of gender, marital status, age and task of the employees (p <0.05). However, no significant differences were found between the perceived organizational identification levels of the employees in terms of education level (p> 0.05). On the other hand, although there was a significant difference between the perception levels related to the affectivel identification dimension (p= 0.002 <0.05), there was no significant difference between the perception levels of cognitive identification dimension (p= 0.071> 0.05). On the other hand, although there was a significant difference between the perception levels of cognitive identification dimension in terms of seniority of the participants (p= 0,014 <0,05), there was no significant difference between the perception levels of affective identification dimension (p= 0,073> 0,05).
