Abstract

Bu çalışma, yöneticilerde ve çalışanlarda erteleme eğiliminin farklı olup olmadığını saptamayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu temel amaç dışında, çeşitli kişisel özelliklere göre erteleme eğiliminin farklılaşıp farklılaşmadığını ortaya koymak da amaçlanmaktadır. Bu amaçla, İzmir İl Sağlık Müdürlüğü’ne bağlı olarak çalışan 350 yönetici ve 555 çalışan olmak üzere toplam 905 kişiden veri toplanmış ve veriler analiz edilmiştir. Verilerin analizinde frekans, açıklayıcı ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizi, bağımsız tek örneklem t testi ve tek yönlü varyans analizlerinden yararlanılmıştır. Yapılan analizler sonucunda, erteleme eğiliminin genel olarak düşük düzeyde olduğu, bununla birlikte yöneticiler ve çalışanların erteleme eğiliminin farklı olduğu saptanmıştır. Yönetici olmayan çalışanların erteleme eğilimi daha yüksektir. Yöneticiler arasında ise alt düzey yöneticilerde erteleme eğilimi daha yüksektir. Erteleme eğilimi yaş, medeni durum, çocuk sahibi olup olmama, meslek ve meslekte çalışma süresine göre farklılaşmakta iken cinsiyete göre farklılaşmamaktadır.
