Relationship between Supervisors’ Loneliness at Work and Their Organizational Commitment

The aim of the study is to investigate regression level of loneliness at work to organizational
commitment of supervisors. The study is a quantitative and suitable for relational model. 123
supervisors who work for Istanbul Guidance and Supervisory Board participate in the study.
“Loneliness At Work Scale” and “Organizational Commitment Scale” are used to collect data. The
result of the study indicates that supervisors’ loneliness at work predicts significantly their
commitment to organization. Besides, supervisors who don’t have administrative duty have higher
level of commitment significantly than supervisors who have administrative duty. Another result
indicates that supervisors who have undergraduate level of education have higher level of
organizational commitment than supervisors who have graduate level of education. According to
these result, it is suggested that opportunities of supervisors to become more sociable should be
supplied. And qualitative studies to get wider knowledge about supervisors’ conditions of
commitment and loneliness at work should be investigated.
