Abstract

Yaşam memnuniyeti ve mutluluk kavramları, özellikle filozofların ve psikologların uzun bir süre üzerinde
durduğu önemli bir konu olmuştur. Eski Yunanlılardan modern filozoflar ve politikacılara kadar tüm
önemli düşünürler mutluluğun anlamını sorgulamışlar ve mutluluğun mutlak bir tanımının yapılması için
uğraşmışlardır. Ancak, birçok araştırmacı mutluluğun ne olduğuna dair fikirler üzerinde anlaşamamışlar ve
mutluluğun hiçbir zaman genel geçer bir tanımını yapamamışlardır. Bu nedenle mutluluk kavramı tarih boyunca
çok farklı anlamlar taşımıştır.
Literatürde birçok araştırmacı; insanların cinsiyetleri, yaşları, gelirleri, medeni durumları, eğitim seviyeleri
ve sosyal ilişkileri gibi sosyo-demografik özelliklerinin, yaşam memnuniyetleri ve mutlulukları üzerindeki
etkilerini incelemişlerdir. Bu araştırmacılardan bazıları bu incelemeler sonucunda, insanların sosyo-
demografik özelliklerinin yaşam memnuniyetlerini ve mutluluklarını etkilediğini savunurken, bazıları
ise bu durumun aksini savunmaktadırlar. Ancak, insanların yaş, cinsiyet, gelir, medeni durum, eğitim seviyeleri
ve sosyal ilişkileri gibi sosyo-demografik özelliklerinin yaşam memnuniyetleri ve mutlulukları üzerinde
önemli bir etkiye sahip olması yadsınamaz bir gerçektir.
Bu çalışmada, sigorta sektöründe çalışanların sosyo-demografik özelliklerine göre yaşam memnuniyetleri
incelenmiştir. Toplam 250 katılımcıya online anket uygulaması yapılmış olup geri bildirimler SPSS Statistics
22 istatistik programında değerlendirilmiştir. Tablolaştırılan değerlendirme sonuçları, likert ölçek
puanlarının ortalamasına göre yorumlanmış ve ki-kare bağımsızlık testinin sonuçlarına göre analiz edilmiştir.
Bu analizler sonucunda sigorta sektöründe çalışanların yaş, cinsiyet, gelir, medeni durum, eğitim seviyesi
ve sosyal ilişkileri gibi sosyo-demografik özelliklerinin yaşam memnuniyet düzeylerini etkilediği gözlemlenmiştir.
