İş Yaşamında Farklı Kuşaklardaki İş Güvencesizliği ve İş-Aile Çatışması Algısı

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, çoklu kuşak teorisine dayanarak Türkiye’ de farklı kuşaktaki iş görenlerin iş güvencesizliği ve iş-aile çatışması algılarına göre farklılaşıp farklılaşmadığını tespit etmektir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda oluşturulan iki hipotez İstanbul ilinde faaliyet gösteren altı farklı vakıf üniversitesinden 335 akademisyenden elde edilen verilere ANOVA analizi uygulanarak test edilmiştir. Uygulanan analizler sonucunda, Y (1980-1995) ve X kuşağına (1966-1979) mensup akademisyenlerin iş güvencesizliği algısının bebek patlaması (1945-1965) kuşağına mensup akademisyenlerin iş güvencesizliği algısından daha fazla olduğu tespit edilmiştir. İş-aile çatışması algısı bakımından ise Y, X ve bebek patlaması kuşağına mensup akademisyenler arasında anlamlı bir fark bulunmadığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Dolayısıyla, oluşturulan iki hipotezden, yalnızca biri kısmen desteklendiği için, çoklu kuşak teorisinin Türkiye örnekleminde geçerliliğinin tartışmalı olduğu iddia edilebilir.

Job Insecurity and Work-Family Conflict Perceptions of Different Generations in Business Life

Abstract

Drawing on multigenerational theory, the purpose of this study is to investigate whether academicians from different generations differentiate in their perceptions of job insecurity and work-family conflict.  Fort his purpose, two hypothesis were tested by applying ANOVA analysis to data collected from 335 academicians working in six different private universities in İstanbul. The results of the hypothesis testing indicate that, academicians from generation Y (1980-1995) and X (1945-1965) perceive higher level ol job insecurity than Baby Boomers.  However, there are no significant differences among Generation Y, Generation X and Baby Boomers with regard to work-family conflict perceptions. Since, only one of the hypothesis is partially supported, it can be assessed that, the generalizability of multigenerational theory to Turkish context is controversial.
