Özet:

 In the literature, even though the role of perfectionism has been examined in various fields of study including psychology, education, sports sciences, counseling and medicine, studies which have focused on this concept in work life from an organizational point of view are scarce. In the past, perfectionism has been examined as a negative concept, yet recently it is being studied as a multi-dimensional construct in terms of both its positive and negative aspects. In light of current research, this study examined perfectionism with its adaptive and maladaptive dimensions and focused on the relation between these dimensions and self-esteem, workaholism and burnout, with the goal of contributing to the literature on employee well-being. In literature, despite the existence of studies that showed the association between perfectionism and burnout, there is a scarcity of research conducted on the mediating variables between these two constructs. This paper examined how perfectionism relates to burnout in the workplace by investigating the mediating role of self-esteem and workaholism and the relationship between these two constructs using a serial mediation model. A self-report questionnaire of key constructs was provided to a sample of 224 63.4 women Turkish employees. Correlation analyses and serial mediation analyses were conducted to test the proposed relations and mediating hypotheses. According to the results, maladaptive perfectionism is strongly related to burnout, to the extent that the mediational effects of selfesteem and workaholism are cancelled in the process. Adaptive perfectionism, however, does not have a direct effect on burnout, though it yielded a significant relationship with it through the mediation of self-esteem and workaholism. However, the total indirect effect for serial mediation between adaptive perfectionism and burnout was found to be insignificant. The findings add to the current literature findings by shedding light on the relationship between perfectionism and burnout as well as revealing the underlying mechanisms linking these two concepts.

 Literatürde mükemmeliyetçiliğin iş ortamındaki rolü, aralarında psikoloji, eğitim, spor bilimleri, rehberlik ve psikolojik danışmanlık ve tıbbi bilimlerin de bulunduğu farklı alanlarda araştırılmış olsa da iş yaşamında bu kavrama örgütsel davranış perspektifinden odaklanan sınırlı sayıda çalışma bulunmaktadır. Geçmişte olumsuz yönleri ile ele alınan mükemmeliyetçilik, gunumuzde çok boyutlu bir yapı olarak incelenmekte, olumlu ve olumsuz yönleri ile araştırılmaktadır. Bu çalışma, güncel araştırmaların ışığında mükemmeliyetçiliği uyumlu ve uyumsuz boyutlarıyla ele alarak ve bu boyutların benlik saygısı, işkoliklik ve tukenmişlik ile ilişkilerini inceleyerek çalışan esenliği ile ilgili literature katkı sunmayı hedeflemektedir. Literatürde çalışanların mükemmeliyetçilik ve tükenmişlik düzeyleri arasında ilişki olduğunu gösteren çalışmalar bulunmasına rağmen bu iki değişkeni birbirine bağlayan aracı değişkenler üzerine yeterli araştırma yapılmadığı görülmektedir. Bu çalışma, iş ortamında mükemmeliyetçiliğin tükenmişlikle ilişkisini, benlik saygısı ve işkolikliğin bu iki kavram arasındaki aracı rolünü seri aracılık modeliyle inceleyerek araştırmayı amaçlamaktadır. Araştırmanın ana kavramlarını içeren anket çalışması 224 63.4 kadın Türk çalışan ile paylaşılmıştır. Araştırma değişkenleri arasındaki ilişkileri ve aracılık hipotezlerini test etmek için korelasyon analizi ve seri aracılık analizleri kullanılmıştır. Sonuçlar, uyumsuz mükemmeliyetçilik boyutunun tükenmişlik ile yüksek düzeyde ilişkili olduğunu ve bu ilişkide benlik saygısı ve işkolikliğin aracı etkilerinin ortadan kalktığını göstermiştir. Uyumlu mükemmeliyetçilik boyutunun ise tükenmişlik ile arasında doğrudan olmasa da benlik saygısı ve işkoliklik aracılığı ile istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki içinde olduğunu ortaya konmuştur. Ancak, seri aracılığın toplam dolaylı etkisi ise anlamlı değildir. Sonuçlar mükemmeliyetçilik ve tükenmişlik arasındaki ilişkiye odaklanarak hem mevcut literatüre katkı sağlamakta hem de bu iki kavram arasındaki ilişkinin altında yatan faktörlere ışık tutmaktadır.
