PROFESYONEL FUTBOLCULARIN MESLEKİ TÜKENMİŞLİK DÜZEYLERİ İLE İŞ DOYUMU DÜZEYLERİ ARASINDAKİ İLİŞKİNİN İNCELENMESİ

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, profesyonel futbolcuların mesleki tükenmişlik düzeyleri ile iş doyumu düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir. Çalışmanın verileri 2011–2012 futbol sezonunda toplanmıştır. Çalışmaya, Türkiye süper liginden 79 futbolcu, 1.ligden 90 futbolcu, 2.ligden 135 futbolcu ve 3.ligden 112 futbolcu, toplamda 416 futbolcu katılmıştır. Mesleki tükenmişlik verilerini toplamak için toplam 22 madde ve 3 alt boyuttan oluşan Maslach 1981 tarafından geliştirilen ve Türkçeye Ergin 1992 tarafından uyarlanmış olan “Mesleki Tükenmişlik Envanteri” kullanılmıştır. Futbolcuların iş doyum düzeylerini ölçmek için, 1967 yılında Weiss, Dawis, England ve Lofquist’in tarafından 20 madde olarak geliştirilmiş olan Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire MSQ ”- Kısa Formu uygulanılmıştır. Verilerin analizleri için SPSS.16 programı kullanılmıştır. Süper ligde futbolcularının genel iş doyumu düzeyleri 2.lig ve 3.ligdeki futbolcuların genel iş doyum düzeylerinden anlamlı derecede yüksek çıkmıştır. Süper lig futbolcularının tükenmişlik düzeyleri diğer ligdeki futbolculardan anlamlı olarak düşük çıkmıştı. Profesyonel futbolcuların mesleki tükenmişlik düzeyleri ile iş doyumu düzeyleri arasında negatif yönlü anlamlı ilişki bulunmuştur. Profesyonel futbolcuların iş doyum düzeyleri arttıkça, mesleki tükenmişlik düzeyleri azaldığı görülmektedir. Çalışmanın en dikkat çekici sonuçlarından biri, orta saha saha oyuncularının kaleci ve hücum oyuncusu oyuncularından daha az dışsal tatmine sahip olmalarıdır.
