Summary/Abstract: Purpose – The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of perceived overqualification on the careerism orientation of the employees and their social loafing behaviors based on the theories of Person-Job Fit and Person-Group Fit. Although there are numerous studies that examine the relationships between perceived overqualification and many attitudes and behaviors in the related literature, the fact that there is no study examining the relationships between perceived overqualification and careerism orientation and social loafing behaviors constitutes the original side of this research. In addition, even though there are many studies related to overqualification in the international literature, quantitative studies determining the consequences of this perception are insufficient in Turkey. Design\methodology\approach - The sample of the study consists of 484 service sector employees in Istanbul, which were reached in December 2017 and January 2018 by using convenient sampling method. The survey technique was used as a data collection tool and the questionnaire was applied to the same people in two different time periods. The data obtained from the questionnaires were analyzed in SPSS software using exploratory factor analysis, correlation analysis, reliability analysis and regression analysis.
