Kadın Çalışanların Yaşam Kalite Algılarının Rol Stresi Üzerindeki Etkisi

Öz

Yaşam
kalitesi algısı, bireylerin yaşamın birçok alanındaki ihtiyaçlarının karşılanma
düzeyine göre memnuniyet ölçüsüdür. Bireylerin yaşamın farklı alanlarındaki
ihtiyaçlarını karşılanmasının bireylerin yaşayacakları cinsiyet rol stresini
azaltacağı düşünülmektedir. Birey ihtiyacı kuramı çerçevesinde kurulan modelin
araştırılması içinSinop il ve ilçelerinde kamu ve özel sektörde ücretli çalışan
kadınlardan oluşan örneklem kullanılmıştır. Örneklemden toplanan veriler SPSS
21 ile analiz edilmiştir. Regresyon sonuçlarına göre kadınların yaşam kalite
algılarının cinsiyet rol stresini olumsuz olarak etkilediği görülmüştür. Bu
çalışma ile kadın çalışanlar ile (kamu-özel) yapılan anketler sonucu elde
edilen verilerle, kadın rol stresinin kadınların yaşam kalite algıları üzerine
olan etkisi ortaya konulmaya çalışılmıştır. Bu tarz saha çalışmalarının
özellikle Türkçe literatür açısından henüz yeterince ele alınmamış olması
mevcut çalışma ile sağlanabilecek potansiyel katkının önemini ortaya
koymaktadır.
