The universe of the study, Süleyman Demirel University (SDU) Hospital staff. Correlation analysis and structural equation modeling methods were used in the study. According to the structural equality model, a one-unit increase in the social acceptance dimension leads to unit increase in the internal and external dimension. One unit increase in confidence was found to result in unit increase in life satisfaction, internal and external dimensions. Furthermore, a one-unit increase in the size of social respectability led to unit decrease in the internal and external dimension, while a one-unit increase in the social impact dimension led to decrease in the internal and external dimension. The hospital management should provide employees with a happy and peaceful working environment and develop plans and policies that will improve their job and life satisfaction.

Hastane çalışanlarının sosyal iyi olma halinin iş ve yaşam doyumu üzerindeki etkisi

Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı hastane çalışanlarının sosyal iyi olma halinin iş ve yaşam doyumu üzerindeki etkisini yapısal eşitlik modeli ile tespit etmektir. Araştırmanın evrenini, Süleyman Demirel Üniversitesi (SDÜ) Hastanesi personeli oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada korelasyon analizi ve yapısal eşitlik modellemesi yöntemleri kullanılmıştır. Yapılan yapısal eşitlik modeline göre sosyal kabul boyutundaki bir birimlik artış içsel ve dışsal boyut üzerinde sırayla 2,122 ve 2,312 birimlik artış sağlamaktadır. Güven duyma boyutunda bir birimlik artışın ise yaşam doyumu, içsel ve dışsal boyut üzerinde sırayla 3,608, 6,349 ve 7,101 birimlik artışa sebep olduğu saptanmıştır. Ayrıca sosyal saygınlık boyutundaki bir birimlik artış içsel ve dışsal boyut üzerinde sırayla -1,830 ve -2,265 birimlik azalışa, sosyal etki boyutundaki bir birimlik artışın ise yaşam doyumu, içsel ve dışsal boyut üzerinde sırayla -3,081, -6,010 ve -6,501 birimlik azalışa sebep olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Hastanelerde çalışanlara mutlu ve huzurlu bir çalışma ortamı sağlamalı ve çalışanların iş ve yaşam doyumlarını artıracak plan ve politikalar geliştirmelidir. Bu durum personel devir hızının düşmesine, sağlık hizmetlerinin kalitesinin yükselmesine, çalışan ve hasta memnuniyetinin artmasına, finansal sürdürülebilirliğe ve uzun vadede kârlılık ve verimlilik artışına katkı sağlayacaktır.
