SAĞLIK SEKTÖRÜNDE ÇALIŞANLARIN DEMOGRAFİK ÖZELLİKLERİ, KİŞİLİK ÖZELLİKLERİ VE KÜLTÜREL DEĞERLERİ ÜZERİNE BİR ÇOKLU DURUM ÇALIŞMASI

Öz

Kültürel farklılıklar literatürde oldukça fazla araştırma kapsamında ele alınmış bir konudur. Diğer yandan kişilik özellikleri de araştırmacıların dikkatini oldukça çekmiştir. Ancak bu iki konunun bir arada ele alınıp değerlendirildiği çalışmalar oldukça kısıtlıdır. Özellikle de ülkemizde bu iki konunun beraber ele alınıp tartışıldığı çalışmalar oldukça azdır. Dolayısıyla, bu çalışmanın temel sorunsalı, sağlık sektöründe çalışanların demografik özellikleri, kişilik özellikleri ve kültürel değerleri arasındaki ilişkiyi ortaya koymaktır. Çalışmada kültürel değerler ve kişilik özellikleri, dikey ve yatay toplulukçuluk ve bireycilik eğilimleri ve kültürel değerler ölçeği ile incelenmiştir. Bu makalede, farklı hastanelerden on dört katılımcı ile mülakat yöntemi uygulanmıştır. Bu araştırma, nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden biri olan “durum araştırması” kapsamında gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmada birden fazla deneğe ulaşılarak “çoklu durum çalışması” gerçekleştirilmiştir. Görüşme formundan elde edilen verilerin analizinde betimsel analiz tekniği kullanılmıştır. Analiz sonuçları incelendiğinde farklı sonuçlarla karşılaşıldığı görülmüştür. Bu sonuçlardan bazıları literatür ile paralellik arz ederken, bazıları daha önce literatürde olmayan bu çalışma kapsamında ortaya çıkan sonuçlardır.
