Abstract
The increasing importance of science at the national and international education level makes it necessary to investigate the activities of academicians in their organizations. The aim of this research, which is based on role theory, is to investigate the effects of work role fit (suitability job role) and self-expression behaviors on the risk-taking of the academician’s job. In the research, an electronic questionnaire was conducted to 400 academicians who were determined by the voluntary sampling method, which is one of the non-random methods. The obtained data were analyzed with SPSS, GSCA and AMOS package programs. As a result of the research analysis; it has been observed that the academician’s work role fit has a moderator effect on the effect of self-expression on risk-taking behavior. The fact that the academician acted by his work role fit positively and significantly affected his risk-taking behavior. Self-expression behavior had a mediating effect on the effect of work role fit on risk-taking behavior. The academician for the work role fit positively and significantly affected the self-expression behavior. In addition, the behavior of the academician to express herself in the worcplace positively and significantly affected risk-taking behavior towards the job. The results obtained reveal the original value of the academician in the academic working environment.
