İş Sonrası Toparlanmanın Yaşam Tatmini Üzerindeki Etkisi: İşe Tutulmanın Aracı Rolü

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı; çalışanların iş saatleri sonrasında deneyimledikleri toparlanma sürecinin, işe tutulma ve yaşam tatminleri üzerindeki etkilerinin incelenmesi ve iş sonrası toparlanma ile yaşam tatmini ilişkisinde işe tutulmanın aracılık rolünün sorgulanmasıdır. Bu doğrultuda, Isparta ilinde kamu ve özel sağlık kuruluşlarında görevli toplam 216 sağlık çalışanına araştırma ölçeklerini içeren anket uygulanmıştır. İlişkisel tarama deseni kullanılarak yürütülen araştırmadan elde edilen veriler SPSS ve AMOS programları vasıtasıyla doğrulayıcı faktör analizi, korelasyon analizi ve yapısal eşitlik modellemesi uygulanarak test edilmiştir. Yürütülen analizler sonucunda; sağlık çalışanlarının iş sonrası toparlanma seviyelerinin hem işe tutulmalarını hem de yaşam tatminlerini anlamlı ve olumlu yönde etkilediği tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca, iş sonrası toparlanma ile yaşam tatmini ilişkisinde işe tutulmanın kısmi aracılık etkisi olduğu ortaya konmuştur. Araştırma bulguları, değişkenler arası ilişkilerin kuramsal altyapısı temelinde değerlendirilerek tartışılmıştır.
