Özet:

 This study investigates the mediating role of organizational commitment in the relationship between employee well-being and job performance, focusing on a case study of Mersin Port in Türkiye. A survey was conducted with 359 employees working at Mersin Port, utilizing a structured questionnaire distributed via email. The data collection process incorporated three validated scales alongside a sociodemographic questionnaire. Specifically, the Well-Being Scale, Job Performance Scale, Organizational Commitment Scale, and demographic characteristics were assessed. Data were analysed using IBM SPSS 27 and Jamovi Project 2024. The findings indicate that psychological well-being has a significant impact on job performance, both directly and indirectly, through emotional commitment. Findings show that emotional commitment serves as a partial mediator in the relationship between psychological well-being and job performance. Specifically, a significant relationship has been identified between employees sense of belonging to their workplace and the concept of organizational commitment, with continuance commitment emerging as the most influential mediating factor in this process. Consequently, the findings highlight the necessity for employees to maintain not only their professional knowledge and experience but also their physical and psychological well-being in order to sustain the benefits associated with their job. It is believed that this study will serve as an example for future studies in the field of maritime.

 Bu çalışma, çalışanların iyi oluşu ile iş performansı arasındaki ilişkide örgütsel bağlılığın aracılık rolünü incelemekte olup, Türkiyedeki Mersin Limanı örneği üzerine odaklanmaktadır. Mersin Limanında çalışan 359 personel ile bir anket çalışması gerçekleştirilmiş ve yapılandırılmış anket formları e-posta yoluyla dağıtılmıştır. Veri toplama sürecinde, sosyodemografik anketin yanı sıra üç geçerli ölçek kullanılmıştır: İyi Oluş Ölçeği, İş Performansı Ölçeği ve Örgütsel Bağlılık Ölçeği. Veriler IBM SPSS 27 ve Jamovi Project 2024 programları ile analiz edilmiştir. Bulgular, psikolojik iyi oluşun iş performansı üzerinde doğrudan ve duygusal bağlılık aracılığıyla dolaylı olarak anlamlı bir etkiye sahip olduğunu göstermektedir. Ayrıca, duygusal bağlılığın psikolojik iyi oluş ile iş performansı arasındaki ilişkide kısmi aracılık rolü üstlendiği belirlenmiştir. Çalışanların işyerine karşı aidiyet duygusu ile örgütsel bağlılık kavramı arasında anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu tespit edilmiş ve bu süreçte en etkili aracılık rolünün devam bağlılığı olduğu belirlenmiştir. Sonuç olarak, çalışanların işlerinden elde ettikleri avantajları sürdürebilmeleri için yalnızca mesleki bilgi ve deneyimlerini değil, aynı zamanda fiziksel ve psikolojik iyi oluşlarını da korumalarının gerekliliği vurgulanmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın, denizcilik alanındaki gelecekteki araştırmalara örnek teşkil edeceği düşünülmektedir.
