İş tatmini oluşturan boyutların toplam tatmin üzerindeki etkilerinin doğrulayıcı faktör analizi ile incelenmesi üzerine Türk işletmelerinde bir araştırma

Abstract

İş tatmininin ölçülmesi ve iş tatmininin gerek organizasyonel gerekse bireysel sonuçları, akademik yazında en çok tartışılan ve araştırılan konulardan biridir. Ancak konuya daha çok tek bir doğru modeli benimsemeye yatkın evrensel bakış açısı ile yaklaşılmış olduğundan, kültürel ve bağlamsal farklılıklar çok fazla irdelenmemiştir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Batı yazınında tanımlanmış olan iş tatmini alt boyutlarının Türkiye'de ne denli geçerli olduğu ve Türk çalışanının iş tatmini üzerinde hangi alt boyutun en fazla etkisinin olduğunun araştırılmasıdır. Bu amaca yönelik olarak hazırlanan soru formları, çeşitli işletmelerdeki 796 mavi yakalı çalışana uygulanmıştır. Elde edilen verilerin doğrulayıcı faktör analizi yöntemi ile incelenmesi sonucunda, “ödemelerle (ücretlerle)” ilgili sorular aracılığı ile elde edilen sonuçların model ile uyumsuz olduğu görülmüştür. Ayrıca yapılan analizler sonucunda iş tatminini en fazla etkileyen alt boyutun “işin kendisi”, en az etkileyen alt boyutun ise “iş arkadaşları ile ilişkiler” olduğu bulgulanmıştır.

Examining the effects of job satisfaction dimensions on overall job satisfaction by confirmatory factor analysis: a survey on Turkish firms

Abstract

There is a vast amount of research done on the subject of the measurement of job satisfaction and its organizational and individual outcomes in the academic literature. However, the subject is investigated with a universal approach which undermines contextual and cultural variables. Therefore the primary aim of this study is to explore whether the predetermined sub-scales of job satisfaction are also valid in Turkish context and also to reveal the dimension that has maximum effect on Turkish workers’ job satisfaction. The questionnaires designed for this purpose are filled out by 796 blue-collar workers in different companies. Upon the analysis of the data gathered questions which related with “payments”, are eliminated. It is also observed that “the work itself” is the dimension that has the maximum impact on overall job satisfaction, whereas “relations with co-workers” has the least effect
