Abstract

ÖzetTürkiye’de son dönemde yaşama geçirilen özelleştirme yaklaşımının bir sonucu olarak çalışma koşulları güvencesiz hale dönüştürülmektedir. Yakın tarihte TEKEL işçileri için önerilen 4/C’ye ilişkin statüsü tam bir güvencesiz istihdam modeli olarak belirmiştir. İktidar tarafından dayatılan bu yeni durum, TEKEL işçileri tarafından üç ay süren bir dirençle karşılanmıştır. Bu çalışmada, bu sürecin TEKEL işçilerinin yaşamakta oldukları öngörülen kaygı düzeyi ve özyeterlilik inancı üzerindeki etkilerinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Örneklemi, kaldıklarıçadırlarda, ulaşılan toplam 542 TEKEL işçisi oluşturmuştur. Gözlem, görüşmeler ve uygulanan Spielberger Sürekli Kaygı Ölçeği ve Genel Özyeterlilik Ölçeği’nden elde edilen bulgulara göre, kaygı puanları normal sınırlarda ve özyeterlilik düzeyi diğer çalışma bulgularına göre yüksek bulunmuştur. Örgütlü eylemlilik süreci veişçilere halk tarafından sağlanan sosyal desteğin bu durumu açıkladığı düşünülmüştür.AbstractAs a result of the actualization of the privatization attitude working conditions have turned to lack security.
