Akademisyenlerde İşle İlgili Temel İhtiyaç Doyumu ve Öznel İyi Oluş

Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı, akademisyenlerde işle ilgili temel ihtiyaç doyumu ve öznel iyi oluş arasındaki ilişkileri incelemektir. Araştırmanın katılımcılarını Türkiye’nin farklı üniversitelerinden 215 (95 kadın/120 Erkek) akademisyen oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmada veri toplama araçları olarak İşle İlgili İhtiyaç Doyumu Ölçeği, Olumlu-Olumsuz Duygu Ölçeği ve Yaşam Doyumu Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde çoklu regresyon analizi ve Pearson Moment Çarpımlar Korelasyonu yöntemlerinden yararlanılmıştır. Analizler sonucunda işle ilgili temel ihtiyaç doyumunun alt boyutlarını oluşturan özerklik, yeterlik ve ilişki ihtiyacının öznel iyi oluşu anlamlı düzeyde açıkladığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır (R2=0.48, F=65.44, p<.001). Bu sonuçlara göre ilgili değişkenler, öznel iyi oluştaki varyansın % 48’ini açıklamaktadır
