These include the religiously-oriented work culture, the rational-ascetic work culture, and the hedonistic work culture. In this study, some striking results were reached by interviewing 744 blue-collar workers working in the Konya Industrial Zone. According to the research findings, although blue-collar workers in Konya exhibit higher levels of religiously-oriented work culture compared to other work culture types, it was also found that both the religious work culture and the hedonistic and rational ascetic work cultures had relatively high mean scores. In this case, even if religiosity is dominant in working life, it can be said that hedonistic and rational-ascetic tendencies can exist alongside these cultural elements, and therefore carry modern tendencies. On the other hand, findings revealed significant differences in the level of work culture and loyalty levels in blue-collar workers and demographic data. It was concluded that loyalty levels and work culture can show significant differences in blue-collar workers; and can be decisive in the working lives of workers when combined with other findings.}, number={1}, publisher={Esengül Kara}
