Göçmenlerin
yeni bir kültüre uyum sağlamada birçok sorunla karşılaştığı, yoğun şekilde
stres yaşadığı ve hatta yaşam kalitelerinin düştüğü yaygın olarak kabul
edilmektedir. Bu çerçevede, göçmenlere yönelik tutum ve davranışları,
göçmenlerin sorunlarını inceleyen çok sayıda çalışmaya karşılık, göçmenlerin
göç ettikleri yerdeki yaşam memnuniyetine ilişkin algıyı ölçen çok az sayıda
çalışma bulunmaktadır. Bununla birlikte, yaşam memnuniyeti üzerinde sendika
üyesi olmanın etkisi de göz ardı edilen konulardan biridir. Yazındaki söz
konusu eksikliklerin giderilmesine katkı sağlamayı hedefleyen bu çalışmada, göç
edip Kocaeli’ye yerleşenlerin sendika üyesi olma durumunda yaşam
memnuniyetindeki değişim incelenmektedir. Bu doğrultuda, Kocaeli ili genelinde
çalışmakta olan 1054 kişiden (% 40,9 kadın, % 59,1 erkek) veri elde edilmiştir.
Örneklemde, göçle gelerek Kocaeli’ye yerleşmiş olduğunu ifade edenlerin sayısı
483 olup, oranı % 45,8’dir. Çalışmanın amacı, göç ederek şehre yerleşmiş
olanların yaşam memnuniyetinde sendikalı olmalarının etkisini incelemektir.
Elde edilen sonuçlar, araştırmanın varsayımı olan, göç etmiş olma ve sendikalı
olmanın etkileşiminin yaşam memnuniyeti üzerindeki etkisini desteklemektedir.
Bu sonuca göre, göç etmiş olmanın yaşam memnuniyeti üzerinde olumsuz etkisi
olsa da göç edenlerin sendika üyesi olması durumunda yaşam memnuniyetleri
olumlu yönde etkilenmektedir. Göç etme ile sendika üyesi olmanın birlikte
etkileşiminin yaşam memnuniyetini arttırmadaki olası nedenleri, çalışmanın
teorik katkısı ve uygulamaya dönük öneriler ile birlikte tartışmaya
sunulmaktadır.
