Özet:

This study was carried out to determine the effect of perceived organizational support job satisfaction and the mediating role of organizational-based self-esteem between these two variables. The data of the study was collected with the contribution of 214 blue collar employees working in the textile sector in Malaysia and the analysis of these data was made with the help of the SPSS program. In the study, frequency analysis, reliability and validity analysis of the scales to determine the internal consistency of the factors, correlation analyzes to determine the relationships between the variables in the research model were used. To test hypotheses, Baron and Kenny's (1986) 4-step method and to measure the significance of indirect effect, Sobel's Test was used. The results of the study showed that organizational support is positively related to job satisfaction and self-esteem. In addition, the mediating role of self-esteem in the effect of organizational support on job satisfaction, which was identified as the main hypothesis of the study, was supported. In this study, it was sought to answer whether organizational support has an effect on job satisfaction at individual level and organizational-based self-esteem at organizational level. Since the individual with a high perception of organizational support became to be prone to obtain positive outcomes, he tends to show behaviors that benefit the organization they are in and is aware of his own competencies. Within this scope, it is expected that the employees who receive the support of the organization they work in will have high levels of job satisfaction and self-esteem. The results of this study support this argument.
