JOB SATISFACTION PREFERENCES OF GENERATION Y;THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN JOB SATISFACTION AND ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı Türkiye’deki Y kuşağı çalışanlarının işten beklentilerini incelemektir. Ayrıca, bu çalışmada Y kuşağı çalışanlarının iş beklentileri ile iş tatmini ve kurumsal bağlılıkları arasındaki ilişki irdelenmektedir. Y kuşağı çalışanlarının artmasıyla, bu çalışanların iş beklentilerini bilmek, yetenekli Y kuşağı bireylerini kurumlarda tutmak için önemli hale gelmiştir. Niceliksel araştırma tasarımı çerçevesinde 251 Y kuşağı çalışanına anket uygulanmıştır. Ankette, Y kuşağı çalışanlarına iş beklentileri, mevcut iş memnuniyetleri ve kurumsal bağlılıkları ile ilgili sorular sorulmuştur. Yapılan istatistik analizler sonucunda Y kuşağı çalışanlarının işten beklentileriyle ilgili memnuniyet seviyelerinin yüksek olduğu ancak ek güdüleyicilere ve düzenlemelere de açık oldukları bulunmuştur. Buna ek olarak, güdüleyici faktörlerinden memnun olanların (hijyen faktörlerden memnun olanlara oranla) daha yüksek kurumsal bağlılık seviyesine sahip oldukları ortaya konmuştur.
