This research was conducted to determine the effect of workaholism and work-family conflict levels on the life satisfaction of administrative staff working at universities. The research sample consists of individuals working as administrative personnel at universities in Ankara. A total of 466 people, 264 from public universities and 202 from foundation universities, participated in the research. A survey was used as a data collection technique. “Simple random sampling method” was used when determining the sample group. The data collected in the study was analyzed using the relational survey pattern, one of the quantitative research methods. Data analyses were performed using the SPSS program. Research data exhibit normal distribution. “Linear correlation” was used to determine the relationship between variables, and “multiple regression analyses” were used to determine the effect of independent variables on the dependent variable. According to the results of the research, it is seen that life satisfaction has a negative relationship with both the level of workaholism and work-family conflict. Another result is that while work-family conflict negatively affects life satisfaction, the increase in workaholism level has no effect on life satisfaction.

İşkoliklik ve İş - Aile Çatışması Yaşam Tatminini Etkiler Mi? Üniversite İdari Personeli Üzerinde Bir Araştırma

Öz

Bu araştırma üniversitelerde görevli idari personelin işkoliklik ve iş aile çatışması düzeylerinin yaşam tatminine etkisini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Araştırma örneklemini Ankara ilinde bulunan üniversitelerde idari personel olarak çalışan bireyler oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmaya kamu üniversitelerinden 264 vakıf üniversitelerinden 202 olmak üzere toplam 466 kişi katılmıştır. Veri toplama tekniği olarak anket kullanılmıştır. Örneklem grubu belirlenirken “basit tesadüfi örnekleme” yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada toplanan veriler “nicel araştırma yöntemlerinden ilişkisel tarama deseni” kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Veri analizleri SPSS paket programı kullanılarak yapılmıştır. Araştırma verileri normal dağılım sergilemektedir. Değişkenler arası ilişkinin belirlenebilmesi için “doğrusal korelasyon”, bağımsız değişkenlerin bağımlı değişkene etkisinin belirlenebilmesi için “çoklu regresyon analizleri” yapılmıştır. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre yaşam tatmininin hem işkoliklik düzeyi ile hem de iş aile çatışması ile negatif ilişkiler içerisinde olduğu görülmektedir. Diğer bir sonuca göre iş aile çatışması yaşam tatminini olumsuz yönde etkilerken işkoliklik düzeyindeki artışın yaşam tatminine bir etkisi bulunmamaktadır.
