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.
