Abstract

This research is based on the conservation of resources theory. It aims to examine the mediator role of relational energy in the effect of supervisor’s crab syndrome on employee work effort. This research, focusing on the crab syndrome and relational energy, a new phenomenon in the literature, differs from other research in terms of the concepts it deals with. The design of the empirically designed research has been formed through the scanning model. The research sample consists of 221 private security employees reached by employing the convenient sampling method. The SmartPLS software has carried out the research’s measurement and structural model tests. Reliability and validity tests have been performed in the measurement model, while research hypotheses have been tested to reveal causal relations in the structural model. According to the research results, it has been determined that relational energy has a mediator role in the effect of supervisor’s crab syndrome on employee work effort. The contributions and limitations of the research have been discussed, and suggestions for future research are given
