The Job Satisfaction of the Ministry of National Education Personnel (The Case of a General Directorate)
Abstract
Workers’
conditions in the workplace, motivation and reactions to the existing
situations are closely related to their job satisfaction. The general purpose of the current study is to
investigate the Ministry of Nation Education (MEB) personnel’s job satisfaction.
The universe of the study is comprised of 166 personnel working in a general
directorate of MEB. All of the universe was reached to collect data. As the
data collection tool, “The White Collar Workers’ Job Satisfaction Scale”
developed by Ünsal and Özalp Türetgen (2005) was used. The scale has 35 items
and 4 dimensions. The findings of the research have revealed that the workers
find their jobs monotonous, feel uncomfortable in terms of making decisions and
implementing them, have negative opinions about their jobs in terms of their
compliance with their abilities and their status in the society, think that
there is disturbing noise in their workplace, find their wages inadequate,
think that their superiors generally discriminate against some workers, do not
find their work environments enjoyable and some of them are of the opinion that
workers experience problems with their superiors. A considerable number of the
workers stated that there is a lack of communication with their colleagues. For most of the questions, a considerable
number of the workers avoided giving response. The participants’ opinions about
their jobs were found to be not varying significantly depending on gender. With increasing length of service, the rate of
the workers thinking that the promotion system is just and transparent and that
personnel are objectively assessed decreases.
