Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the level of happiness and job satisfaction of mothers working in different occupational groups in an institution. The study involved mothers who had children aged between 3 and 6 working in the educational institutions. Mother interview form, OXFORD Happiness Scale, and Job Satisfaction Scale were used as data collection tools. Percentage, mean, correlation, variance analysis tests were used for the analyses. The happiness changed significantly by professions. The job satisfaction was found to vary significantly by professions. It has been determined that the happiness and job satisfaction levels of working mothers are affected by education, profession, weekly schedule, and work shifts. It was found that there was a low positive linear correlation between happiness scores and job satisfaction scores. It has also been found that job satisfaction and happiness are factors that affect each other positively.
