Abstract

This research aims to examine the relationship between organizational support perceptions and self-efficacy levels of employees, who are employed in the logistics sector, and carried out in order to determine employees’ perceptions of organizational support and their self-efficacy levels.

In consequence of the research, it is determined that there is a statistical relationship between the organizational support perceived by employees in the logistics sector and their self-efficacy levels. Accordingly, it is found out that average of organizational support perceptions regarding the work structure is 3.883 and average of organizations support perceptions regarding the personal development is 3.465. Furthermore, it is determined that they have assertiveness with an average self-efficacy level of 1.742 and an average self-confidence level of 1.602. It is possible to say in other words that employees in the logistics sector have high level of effort and low level of self-confidence and assertiveness. When levels of organizational support perceived by employees increase, self-efficacy levels regarding the aspect of effort increases; when the perception of organizational support decreases, self-efficacy levels regarding assertiveness and self-confidence decrease.
