المستخلص

هدف البحث الحالي إلى التعرف على واقع إدراک أعضاء هيئة التدريس للعقد النفسي المتبادل بينهم وبين الجامعة ومستوى الالتزام به، وواقع السلوک السياسي التنظيمي بالجامعة، ووضع نموذج سببي يفسر التأثيرات المباشرة وغير المباشرة لالتزام الجامعة وأعضاء هيئة التدريس بالعقد النفسي على السلوک السياسي التنظيمي، واستخدم المنهج الوصفي، وطُبقت أداتا الدراسة على عينة قدرها (119) عضو هيئة تدريس بجامعة جنوب الوادي، وتوصل البحث إلى عدد من النتائج أهمها: جاء إدراک أعضاء هيئة التدريس للعقد النفسي للجامعة نحوهم وعقودهم النفسية نحو الجامعة بدرجة عالية جداً (4.41655, 4.489445) على الترتيب، بينما جاء التزام الجامعة بتحقيق عقدها النفسي بدرجة متوسطة (2.62265)، في حين جاء التزام أعضاء هيئة التدريس نحو الجامعة بدرجة متوسطة (2.758174)، وجاء السلوک السياسي التنظيمي بدرجة متوسطة (3.400358)، ووجود علاقة ارتباطية دالة موجبة بين إدراک أعضاء هيئة التدريس للعقد النفسي للجامعة نحوهم وعقودهم النفسية نحوها، ووجود علاقة ارتباطية دالة موجبة بين التزامهم والجامعة العقد النفسي، ووجود فروق ذات دلالة إحصائية بين إدراکهم للعقود النفسية والالتزام بها لصالح إدراکهم لمحتوى العقود النفسية، ووجود علاقة ارتباطية دالة سالبة بين کل من (التزام الجامعة وأعضاء هيئة التدريس بالعقد النفسي) والسلوک السياسي التنظيمي، ووجود فروق ذات دلالة إحصائية بين استجابات العينة حول أبعاد الالتزام بالعقود النفسية والسلوک السياسي التنظيمي تعزي إلى النوع طبيعة الدراسة والدرجة العلمية، وتوصلت في النهاية إلى وضع نموذج سببي يوضح التأثير السلبي المباشر لالتزام الجامعة وأعضاء هيئة التدريس بالعقود النفسية على السلوک السياسي التنظيمي، وأن التزام أعضاء هيئة التدريس بعقدهم النفسي نحو الجامعة يؤثر کمتغير وسيط على العلاقة بين التزام الجامعة بعقدها النفسي نحوهم والسلوک السياسي التنظيمي.

University commitment (2.62265) was in a medium level and staff commitment towards the university was also medium (2.758174) and the organizational political behavior was medium (3.400358). There is a positive correlational relation between staff self-psychological commitment and towards university. There is a positive relationship between theirs and university commitments towards the psychological contract. There are statistically significant differences between their awareness of psychological contracts and their commitment favoring contracts contentment awareness. There is a negative correlation between university commitment and staff to psychological contracts and organizational political behavior. There is a statistically significant mean difference between participants' responses towards psychological contracts dimensions commitment and organizational political behavior due to gender, field of study and degree.
