DEPREM KORKUSUNUN İŞTEN AYRILMA NİYETİNE ETKİSİNDE DUYGUSAL TÜKENMİŞLİK VE İŞ STRESİNİN ARACI ROLÜ: 6 ŞUBAT KAHRAMANMARAŞ DEPREMLERİNDEN ETKİLENEN İLLERDE BİR ALAN ARAŞTIRMASI

Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı deprem korkusunun işten ayrılma niyeti üzerindeki etkisinde duygusal tükenmişlik ve iş stresinin aracılık rolünün belirlenmesidir. Bu amaçla, nicel araştırma yöntemine başvurulan çalışmanın örneklemi Türkiye’de 6 Şubat Kahramanmaraş depremlerinden etkilenen illerde sosyal hizmet kurumlarında çalışanlardan oluşmaktadır. Hipotez testlerinden elde edilen sonuçlar incelendiğinde, deprem korkusunun işten ayrılma niyeti üzerinde anlamlı bir etkiye sahip olmadığı, ancak duygusal tükenmişlik ve iş stresi üzerinde ise pozitif yönde ve anlamlı bir etkiye sahip olduğu görülmüştür. Ayrıca, duygusal tükenmişlik ve iş stresinin işten ayrılma niyeti üzerinde pozitif ve anlamlı bir etkiye sahip olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Son olarak, deprem korkusunun işten ayrılma niyeti üzerindeki etkisinde duygusal tükenmişlik ve iş stresinin aracılık ettiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
