Abstract

Günümüz dinamik iş ortamında, sürdürülebilir bir rekabet avantajı için büyük çaba harcanmaktadır. Dolayısıyla örgüt yöneticileri yüksek verim alabilmek ve iş performanslarını yükseltebilmek adına çalışanların psikolojik durumları ile daha yakından ilgilenmektedir. Örgütsel bağlamdaki önemi nedeniyle bu araştırmada psikolojik sermaye, iş tatmini ve öznel mutluluk arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmada veriler rekreasyonel amaçlı özel spor hizmeti sunan işletmelerinde çalışan ve kolayda örneklem yöntemine göre belirlenen toplam 387 kişiden toplanmıştır. Katılımcılardan elde edilen veriler kovaryans yapı analizi (Yapısal Eşitlik Modeli: YEM) kullanılarak test edilmiştir. Analiz sonuçlarında psikolojik sermayenin iş tatmini ve öznel mutluluk üzerinde doğrudan pozitif yönde bir etki yarattığı gözlemlenmiştir. Ayrıca, iş tatminin öznel mutlu üzerindeki etkisinin de doğrudan anlamlı olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Araştırmanın kapsamında elde edilen son bulguda ise iş tatminin kısmi aracılık etkisi yaratarak psikolojik sermayenin öznel mutluluğu dolaylı ve olumlu bir şekilde etkiledi keşfedilmiştir. Sonuç olarak kişinin iş ortamında karşılaştığı zorluklara karşı ayakta durabilme, kendini fark edip iş karşı olan gücünü ve psikolojisini yöneltebilmesinin (psikolojik sermaye) rekreasyon hizmetlerinde çalışan personellerin yaşama karşı duydukları genel memnuniyettin oluşmasında oldukça önemli olduğu söylenebilir. Ayrıca, işten elde edilen memnuniyetteki bir artış, çalışanın öznel mutluluk düzeyini de artıracağı olduğu şeylinde yorumlanabilir.

The Relationship between Psychological Capital, Job Satisfaction and Subjective Happiness in Recreational Businesses

Abstract

In today's dynamic workplace environment, great efforts are made for a sustainable competitive advantage. Therefore, organizational managers are more interested in the psychological state of the employees to get high efficiency and increase their job performance. By the reason of its importance in the organizational context, this study aimed to examine the relationship between subjective happiness, job satisfaction and psychological capital. The data in the study were collected from totally 387 people working in enterprises that provide recreational sports services and determined according to the convenience sampling method. The data were tested using structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis of covariance. Results demonstrated that psychological capital had a direct positive effect on job satisfaction and subjective happiness. In addition, job satisfaction influenced subjective happiness. Lastly, psychological capital indirectly and positively affected subjective happiness because of a partial mediating effect of job satisfaction. As a result, it can be said that being able to stand up to the difficulties encountered in the work environment, to realize oneself and to direct one's strength and psychology towards work (psychological capital) is very important in the formation of the general satisfaction of the personnel working in the recreation services towards life. Also, it could be interpreted that the more job satisfaction increases, the more the employee's subjective happiness level improve.
