Urkus Berber, Bekir S. Yildiz

Abstract


In this study, the relationship between mobbing behavior and employees’ turnover intention in organizations providing sports services was examined. The data in this study were obtained from two Provincial Directorate of Youth and Sports’ employees, in Turkey. As the data collection tool, the mobbing scale developed by Yildiz (2019) and the turnover intention scale developed by Landau and Hammer (1986) were used. As a result of this study, in which hierarchical regression analysis was used, it was found that mobbing behaviors significantly and positively affected employees’ turnover intentions. At the end of the study, administrative suggestions were given on the solution of mobbing.
