THE EFFECT OF WAGE ON PRIVATE SECURITY OFFICERS JOB SATISFACTION AND INTENTION TO QUIT: AN EMPIRICAL STUDY IN TURKEY

Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı özel güvenlik görevlilerinin iş doyumu ile işten ayrılma niyeti tutumlarında aldıkları ücrete göre farklılaşma olup olmadığını istihdam şekilleri (Kamu-Özel sektör) bağlamında test etmektir. Araştırmanın evrenini İstanbul’da çalışan özel güvenlik görevlileri oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada tesadüfi örneklem kullanılmıştır. Nicel paradigma çerçevesinde gerçekleştirilen çalışmada uygulanan anket neticesinde analize uygun 6249 veri araştırmaya dahil edilmiştir. Araştırmada Weiss vd. (1967) tarafından geliştirilen Minnesota İş Doyum Ölçeği ve Scott vd. (1999) tarafından geliştirilen İşten Ayrılma Niyeti Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre, her kademe ücret artışında, özel sektörde istihdam edilen özel güvenlik görevlilerinin iş doyumu ve işten ayrılma niyetlerinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık oluştuğu; kamuda istihdam edilen özel güvenlik görevlilerinin işten ayrılma niyetlerinde her kademe ücret artışında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık oluştuğu, ancak iş doyumlarında sadece en üst kademe ücret artışında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark oluştuğu tespit edilmiştir.

THE EFFECT OF WAGE ON PRIVATE SECURITY OFFICERS JOB SATISFACTION AND INTENTION TO QUIT: AN EMPIRICAL STUDY IN TURKEY

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to reveal whether there is a difference between job satisfaction and intention to quit levels of the private security officers in terms of the wage they receive in accordance with employment types (Public-Private sector). The population of the study includes the private security officers working in İstanbul. Random sampling is conducted in the study. As a result of the questionnaires carried out in the context of the quantitative paradigm, 6249 data were found analyzable. In this study, the job satisfaction scale, developed by Weiss et al. (1967), and the intent to quit scale, developed by Scott et al. (1999), were used. According to the results, there is a statistically significant difference among job satisfaction and intention to quit levels of the private security officers employed in the private sector at each wage category. However, although there is a statistically significant difference among intention to quit levels of private security officers employed in the public sector at each wage category, there is an only statistically significant difference at maximum wage category regarding job satisfaction level.
