Akademisyenin Mutluluk Düzeyine Etki Eden Faktörlerin Belirlenmesi: Ölçek Geliştirme Araştırması

Abstract

Araştırmanın amacı, para sevgisi, mesleki gelişim ve kariyer kaygısının Türk akademisyenlerin mutluluk düzeyleri üzerindeki ortak etkilerini araştırmaktır. Bu amaçla varsayılan ilişkileri incelemek için iki farklı ölçüm modeli oluşturulmuştur. Model 1’in bulgularına göre, a) mesleki gelişim, para sevgisi ve mutluluk düzeylerinin artmasına katkıda bulunur, b) para sevgisi mutluluk düzeylerinin artmasına katkıda bulunur ve c) mesleki gelişim ve mutluluk arasındaki ilişkide para sevgisinin aracılık rolü vardır. Kontrol değişkenlerinden sadece yaşın, yukarıda ifade edilen aracılık modeli üzerinde düzenleyici bir etkisi vardır. Model 2’nin bulgularına göre, d) kariyer kaygısı, para sevgisini artmasına mutluluk düzeyinin azalmasına neden olur, e) para sevgisi mutluluk düzeyi üzerinde anlamlı bir etkisi yoktur ve f) kariyer kaygısı ve mutluluk düzeyi arasındaki ilişkide para sevgisinin aracılık rolü yoktur. Kariyer kaygısının mutluluk düzeyi ilişkisinde yaş değişkeni düzenleyici etkiye sahiptir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Kariyer Kaygısı, Mutluluk Düzeyi, Para Sevgisi, Mesleki Gelişim JEL Sınıflandırması: M10

Determination of Factors Affecting Academician's Happiness Level: Scale Development Research

Abstract

The purpose of the current study is to explore the joint effects of the love of money, professional development, and career anxiety on Turkish academics’ levels of happiness. To that end, we have constructed two different measurement models to examine the hypothesized relationships. According to the findings of Model 1, a) professional development contributes to increased levels of love of money, and happiness, b) the love of money contributes to increased levels of happiness, and c) love of money has a mediating role in the relationship between professional development and happiness. Of the control variables, only age has a moderating effect (buffering) on the aforementioned mediation model. According to the findings of Model 2, d) career anxiety causes the love of money to increase and happiness level to decrease, e) love of money has no significant effect on happiness level, and f) love of money does not have a mediating role in the relationship between career anxiety and happiness level. The age variable has a moderator effect on the relationship between career anxiety and happiness level. Key Words: Career Anxiety, Happiness Level, Love of Money, Professional Development JEL Classification: M10
