36246

Although organizational identification has gained a reasonable attention and researchers investigated the relation of organizational identification with various outcomes, there is no study that investigates its possible relationship with work engagement. The purpose of the study is to investigate the relationship between organizational identification and work engagement. Social support in the organizational context has a positive influence on several attitudes and behaviors of employees. Especially, when employees receive a support from a key actor in the workplace, they reciprocate through positive outcomes. With this in mind, supervisor support is examined whether it moderates the relationship between organizational identification and work engagement. Questionnaire was used as a data collection method and sample consisted of 212 employees working in private sector in İstanbul, Turkey. Results showed that employees who identify with their organization have high levels of work engagement. Support received from supervisor is found to have a moderating role in this relationship.
