Abstract

Bu çalışma, Dalaman havalimanında faaliyet gösteren ulaştırma, seyahat ve yer hizmetleri işletmelerinde işgörenlerin çalışma yaşamı kalitesi algılamaları-işte kalma niyeti-işe devamsızlık ilişkisini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Öncelikle konuyla ilgili bir literatür taraması yapılmıştır. Buradan elde edilen bilgilerle araştırma modeli oluşturulmuş ve buna göre bir anket geliştirilmiştir. Yüzyüze görüşme tekniği kullanılarak toplam 229 katılımcıya bir anket uygulanmıştır. Elde edilen veriler SPSS ve LISREL istatistik programları ile analiz edilerek açıklayıcı faktör analizi ile verilerin yapısal ve yakınsak geçerliliği yapılmıştır. Daha sonra çalışma yaşamı kalitesi-işte kalma niyeti-işe devamsızlık arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemek amacıyla oluşturulan hipotezlerin ölçülmesi için yapısal eşitlik modelinde doğrulayıcı faktör analizi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışma yaşamı kalitesi ile işte kalma niyeti faktörleri arasında pozitif yönlü bir ilişki tespit edilirken işe devamsızlık faktörü ile negatif yönlü bir ilişkinin varlığı ortaya konulmuştur. Diğer yandan işte kalma niyeti ile işe devamsızlık faktörleri arasında negatif yönlü bir ilişki olduğu saptanmıştır. Sonuçta oluşturulan tüm hipotezler desteklenmiştir
