Algılanan İş Stresi ile Yaşam Doyumu Arasındaki İlişkinin İncelenmesi; Öğretim Elemanları Üzerinde Bir Araştırma

Öz

Bu çalışmada, öğretim elemanlarında algılanan iş stresi ile yaşam doyumu arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemek amacıyla Cohen ve Williamson (1988) tarafından geliştirilen, Türkçe uyarlaması Baltaş (1997) tarafından yapılan ‘‘İş Stresi Ölçeği’’ (İSÖ), Diener ve diğerleri (1985) tarafından geliştirilen, Dağlı ve Baysal’ın (2016) Türkçeye uyarladığı “Yaşam Doyumu Ölçeği’’ (YDÖ) kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemini %95 güvenle ve ± %5 hata payı ile İstanbul ilinde bulunan Vakıf Üniversitelerinde görevli 402 öğretim elemanı oluşturmaktadır. Her iki ölçek de tek faktörden oluşmakta, yaşam doyumu ölçeğinde beş madde, algılanan iş stresi ölçeğinde ise on beş madde yer almaktadır. Araştırma için toplanan verilerin analizinde IBM SPSS 23 programı kullanılmıştır. Ölçekler, normal dağılım varsayımını sağlamadığından parametrik olmayan testler ile analizlere devam edilmiştir. Yapılan bu araştırmanın açımlayıcı faktör analizleri ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizleri tespit edilerek iki ölçek arasındaki korelasyon ilişkileri incelenmiştir. İncelenen ölçekler sonucunda öğretim elemanlarında algılanan iş stresi arttıkça, yaşam doyumunun azaldığı sonucuna varılmıştır.

Examining the Relationship Between Perceived Job Stress and Life Satisfaction; A Research on Instructors

Öz

In this study, the "Job Stress Scale" (JSS) developed by Cohen and Williamson (1988) and adapted into Turkish by Baltaş (1997) was used to determine the relationship between perceived job stress in academic staff and life satisfaction. Additionally, the "Satisfaction with Life Scale" (SWLS) developed by Diener et al. (1985) and adapted into Turkish by Dağlı and Baysal (2016) was employed. The sample of the study consisted of 402 academic staff members from Foundation Universities located in Istanbul, with a confidence level of 95% and a margin of error of ± 5%. Both scales consisted of a single factor, with five items in the life satisfaction scale and fifteen items in the perceived job stress scale. IBM SPSS 23 software was used for data analysis. Due to the scales not meeting the assumption of normal distribution, non-parametric tests were employed for the analysis. Exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were conducted to determine the correlation relationships between the two scales. The findings of the study indicated that as perceived job stress increased in academic staff, life satisfaction decreased.
