Abstract

This study was designed in a relational survey model to examine the relationships between teachers' organizational culture, job satisfaction and psychological symptoms. The predictive roles of teachers' perceptions of organizational culture and various psychological symptoms on their perceptions of job satisfaction were essentially. Data were collected by reaching 335 teachers working in public or private schools at primary, secondary and high school levels. According to the findings of the study, a high level positive relationship was observed between organizational culture and job satisfaction. A moderate negative relationship was found between teachers' negative self-perceptions and hostility feelings and job satisfaction. When negative self-perception and hostility variables are combined with school culture, they negatively affect teachers' perception of job satisfaction. This study shows that increasing job satisfaction, which is a vital issue for teachers for different reasons, can be possible by improving school culture and that the school culture variable can reduce the negative effect of negative self-concept and hostility on job satisfaction.

Örgüt Kültürü ve Psikolojik Belirtilerin İş Tatmini Üzerindeki Yordayıcı Rolleri/ The Predictive Roles of Organizational Culture and Psychological Symptoms on Job Satisfaction

Abstract

Bu çalışma, öğretmenlerin örgüt kültürü, iş tatmini ve psikolojik belirtileri arasındaki ilişkileri incelemek amacıyla ilişkisel tarama modelinde tasarlanmıştır. Öğretmenlerin örgüt kültürü algıları ve çeşitli psikolojik belirtilerin iş tatmini algıları üzerindeki yordayıcı rolü esas olarak ortaya çıkmıştır. Veriler, kamu ve özel okullarda ilkokul, ortaokul ve lise düzeyinde görev yapan 335 öğretmene ulaşılarak toplanmıştır. Araştırmanın bulgularına göre örgüt kültürü ile iş tatmini arasında yüksek düzeyde pozitif bir ilişki olduğu görülmüştür. Öğretmenlerin olumsuz benlik algıları ile düşmanlık duyguları ve iş doyumları arasında orta düzeyde negatif bir ilişki bulunmuştur. Olumsuz benlik algısı ve düşmanlık değişkenleri okul kültürüyle birleştiğinde öğretmenlerin iş doyumu algısını olumsuz yönde etkilemektedir. Bu çalışma, öğretmenler için farklı nedenlerden dolayı yaşamsal bir konu olan iş doyumunun artırılmasının okul kültürünün geliştirilmesiyle mümkün olabileceğini ve okul kültürü değişkeninin olumsuz benlik kavramı ve düşmanlığın iş doyumu üzerindeki olumsuz etkisini azaltabileceğini göstermektedir.
