Kariyer Değerlerinin Tükenmişlik Düzeyi Üzerindeki Etkisi: Hopa İlçesinde Öğretmenler Üzerinde Bir Uygulama

Öz

Tükenmişlik sendromu günümüz iş dünyasının önemli bir sorunudur. Tükenmişliği doğuran birçok içsel ve dışsal neden vardır. Bireylerin, mesleki değerleriyle uyumlu bir mesleği seçmemeleri ise tükenmişliği doğuran ya da düzeyini arttıran önemli bir içsel faktördür. Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, öğretmenlerin kariyer değerlerinin, tükenmişlik düzeyleri üzerindeki etkisini incelemektir. Bu bağlamda, kariyer değerleri ve tükenmişlik konularıyla ile ilgili literatür incelenmiştir. Aralarındaki ilişki, Hopa ilçesinde görev yapan öğretmenlerin oluşturduğu 154 kişilik bir örneklem üzerinde araştırılmıştır. Sonuç olarak, güvenlik değerinin duygusal tükenme ile pozitif yönlü, yaşam tarzı değerinin ise negatif yönlü bir ilişkiye sahip olduğu bulgusuna ulaşılmıştır. Yaşam tarzı değerinin ise azalan kişisel başarı boyutuyla negatif yönlü bir ilişkiye sahip olduğu bulgusuna ulaşılmıştır. Yapılan regresyon analizi; güvenlik ve yaşam tarzı değerlenin, bazı tükenmişlik boyutları üzerinde etkileme gücüne sahip olduğunu göstermiştir.
