Abstract

The aim of the research is determining the effect of teachers' person-organization fit on work- family conflict and life satisfaction. The research sample consists of teachers working in schools affiliated with the Ministry of Education in Istanbul Sultanbeyli, Sancaktepe, Kartal, Pendik, Maltepe, and Tuzla. In the study, data were collected from 461 teachers with a questionnaire technique. The research was carried out with quantitative techniques. Frequency values, reliability and factor analysis, difference tests, correlation, and regression analysis were used in the analysis. According to the research findings; It has been determined that person-organization fit has a negative effect on teachers' work-family conflict. It was concluded that the person-organization fit does not have a significant effect on teachers' family-work conflict. Also, it was determined that the person-organization fit of teachers has a positive effect on teachers' life satisfaction. It was determined that the levels of work-family conflict and family-work conflict negatively affect teachers' life satisfaction. As a result of the different tests; It has been determined that there are significant differences in perceptions of person-organization fit, life satisfaction, and work-family conflict in terms of teachers' gender, marital status, age, total experience duration, and school-level they work.
