Abstract:

As the studies on team work increases, social loafing has become one of the most important variable that effect teams productivity. In this study, the effect of coworkers’ social loafing on individual’s job satisfaction, organizational commitment and his own social loafing was examined. Data were collected from 175 teachers from technical high school. To identify the relationships among the study variables, correlation and regression analysis were conducted. The findings of the study showed that coworkers’ social loafing had a significant negative effect on both individual’s job satisfaction and organizational commitment and had a significant positive effect on his or her own social loafing. Furthermore, job satisfaction and organizational commitment had a significant negative effect on his or her own social loafing and partially mediated the relationship between coworkers’ social loafing and his or her own social loafing.
