امروزه میزان پایبندی کارکنان به اخلاق کاری، یکی از عواملی است که کارایی شغلی، سازمانی و به مراتب توسعه اجتماعی و فرهنگی سازمان ها و شرکت های صنعتی را به شدت تحت تأثیر قرار می دهد، به طوری که عامل مذکور، کلید محوری موفقیت نهادهای صنعتی قلمداد می شود. در این راستا پژوهش حاضر نیز، با هدف مطالعه جامعه شناختی رابطه بین سرمایه اجتماعی و اخلاق کاری در بین کارکنان شرکت صنعتی آرسال گلدشت انجام شده است. چارچوب نظری پژوهش حاضر، عمدتاً بر نظریه کنش ارتباطی یورگن هابرماس مبتنی است. روش تحقیق این مطالعه، از نوع پیمایش و ابزار گردآوری اطلاعات، پرسش نامه است که برای برآورد اعتبار و پایایی، به ترتیب از اعتبار صوری و تکنیک آلفای کرونباخ استفاده شده است. جامعه آماری، شامل کلیه کارکنان شرکت به تعداد 400 نفر است که از این تعداد، حجم نمونه براساس فرمول آماری کوکران، 197 نفر برآورد شد و به شیوه نمونه گیری تصادفی ساده برای جمع آوری داده ها انتخاب شدند. نرم افزار مورد نیاز نیز برای تجزیه و تحلیل اطلاعات به دست آمده، SPSS است. نتایج تحقیق نشان داد همبستگی بین تمامی مؤلفه های سرمایه اجتماعی، شامل اعتماد اجتماعی، مشارکت اجتماعی، حمایت اجتماعی و انسجام اجتماعی با متغیر وابسته اخلاق کاری به لحاظ آماری تأیید شد و نوع رابطه نیز، مثبت و مستقیم است. همچنین، نتایج حاصل از تحلیل رگرسیونی چندمتغیره، حاکی از آن است که متغیرهای حاضر در مدل رگرسیونی شامل اعتماد اجتماعی، حمایت اجتماعی، مشارکت اجتماعی، میزان سابقه کاری، انسجام اجتماعی و سن، به ترتیب بیشترین تأثیر را بر متغیر اخلاق کاری کارکنان داشته و درمجموع توانسته اند 48درصد از تغییرات متغیر مذکور را تبیین کنند.Sociological Investigation of the Relationship between Social Capital and Work Ethics with Emphasis on Jürgen Habermas’ Theory of Communicative Action
Introduction
Today, one of the crucial factors influencing the occupational, organizational, and socio-cultural developments of industrial companies is the extent to which employees adhere to work ethics. This factor is widely recognized as pivotal to the success of industrial institutions. Therefore, this research aimed to conduct a sociological study on the relationship between social capital and work ethics among the employees of Arsal Goldasht Industrial Company. The theoretical framework of this research drew from the perspectives of influential thinkers, such as Max Weber, Emmanuel Levinas, and experts in the field of social capital, with a primary focus on Jürgen Habermas's theory of communicative action.
Materials & Methods
This study employed a survey research method, utilizing a questionnaire as the primary data collection tool. The validity and reliability of the questionnaire were assessed using face validity and the Cronbach's alpha technique. The statistical population comprised 400 employees of the company, from which a sample size of 197 individuals was determined using Cochran's statistical formula. The sample was selected through simple random sampling to gather data. The collected information was analyzed using SPSS software.
Discussion of Results & Conclusion
The research findings revealed a statistically confirmed positive and direct correlation between all components of social capital—social trust, social participation, social support, and social cohesion—and the dependent variable of work ethics. Furthermore, the results of the multivariate regression analysis indicated that the variables in the regression model, namely social trust, social support, social participation, amount of work experience, social cohesion, and age, collectively had the most significant impacts on the employees' work ethics, explaining 48% of the variance in the mentioned variable. In line with Habermas' theoretical framework, the intrusion of economic and political systems, i.e., money and power, was seen as colonizing the life world. In this era of colonialism, authoritarian capitalism seeks to impose its political and economic principles across all facets of society, including family dynamics, workplaces, and distribution of resources. If political principles come to dominate our social existence, the potential for individuals to freely engage with one another based on their own values and norms diminishes, creating barriers to communication and understanding. Habermas proposes that the resolution to these crises lies in rebalancing the world. This rebalancing can be achieved by expanding the public sphere in both political and economic realms, thereby creating room for communicative action. In essence, Habermas believes that the solution to this issue lies in rationalizing both the life world and the system in their respective domains. This entails allowing the system and its structures to become more distinct and intricate, while simultaneously refining the life world to enable free communication and emergence of stronger arguments. Indeed, rationalizing both the life world and the system should facilitate their mutual enhancement rather than causing a negative impact on each other. A more rational system should promote rationality in the life world and this rationality, in turn, should be utilized to comprehend the more rational methods of the system. Ultimately, Habermas introduces the ideal speech situation as the ultimate criterion of truth. In his philosophy, this ideal speech situation represents a theoretical scenario where differences and conflicts are logically discussed through communicative rationality, devoid of domination, under completely equal and unlimited discourse conditions. People must acknowledge their differences in order to reconcile them through dialogue. Essentially, the further we move away from coercive communication conditions, the more dynamic and healthy our society becomes. Therefore, in line with Habermas' theory of communicative action, establishment of a global environment where employees can interact and converse free from systemic constraints and where a minimum of Habermas' ideal speech situation is realized can significantly impact the work ethics and performance of employees by facilitating their access to networks of interaction, participation, agreement, and cohesion (social capital).
