Günümüz ormancılığında çalışanların iş doyumunu sağlamak başarılı bir kaynak yönetimi açısından yadsınamaz bir gerçektir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye ormancılığında iş doyumunu etkileyen en önemli faktörleri incelemektir. Bu amaçla, Orman ve Su İşleri Bakanlığının ormancılık birimlerini kapsayacak şekilde, Türkiye çapında, dokuz coğrafik bölgede iki farklı ilgi grubundan oluşan toplam 496 denek üzerinde iki farklı anket uygulaması yapılmıştır. Görüşülecek ve anket yapılacak kişiler, katmanlı-basit rastgele örnekleme yöntemine göre belirlenmiştir. Elde edilen veriler tanımlayıcı istatistiklerle değerlendirilmiş, deneklerin iş doyumunu etkileyen en önemli faktörlerle ilgili düşüncelerinin bölgelere, çalışılan birimlere, göreve ve deneyime göre farklı olup olmadığı Kruskal-Wallis H Testi ile denetlenmiş ve farklı gruplar Duncan Testi ile belirlenmiştir. Buna göre deneklerin büyük çoğunluğu ormancılık örgütünde iş verimini etkileyen en önemli faktörler olarak, “adil ve liyakate dayalı olmayan personel politikası” ve “politik baskıları” tanımlamıştır. Öte yandan, çalışanların çoğunluğu yaptığı işten memnuniyet duymakta ve "topluma faydalı olma duygusunu” iş memnuniyetini etkileyen en önemli faktör olarak görmektedir. Benzer şekilde, çalışanların çoğunluğu aldıkları ücretlerden “orta düzey” memnuniyete sahiptir ve ormancılıkla ilgili konularda görüşlerini paylaşmaya açıktır. Yine deneklerin çoğunluğu siyasal, sosyal ve idari baskılardan uzak bir yönetim ve denetim anlayışının iş doyumunu artıracağını düşünmektedir. Keza çalışanların %75’i görevle ilgili herhangi bir hukuksal sorunda kendilerini güvende hissetmedikleri görüşündedir. Bütün bu olumsuzluklar iş doyumunu ve dolayısıyla başarıyı azaltan faktörler olarak ortaya konmuş ve yorumlanmıştır. Elde edilen bu sonuçlara göre iş doyumunun artırılmasına yönelik bazı öneriler geliştirilmiştir.

Factors affecting job satisfaction in Turkish forestry

Öz

Achieving job satisfaction of employees in today’s forestry is an undeniable fact in terms of successful resource management. This study aims at examining the most significant factors affecting job satisfaction in Turkish forestry. Two different questionnaires were applied to 496 interviewees from two different interest groups associated with the forestry section of the Ministry of Forestry and Water Affairs in the nine geographical regions of Turkey. People to be interviewed were determined using the layered-simple random sampling method. The obtained data were evaluated via descriptive statistics, and also, whether the ideas of the interviewees related to the most significant factors affecting the job satisfaction differ according to the regions, the units studied, the task and the experience were inspected by the Kruskal-Wallis H Test. The different groups were determined via the Duncan Test. Accordingly, the vast majority of interviewees identified “unfair and incompetent personnel policy” and “political pressures” as the most significant factors affecting the work efficiency in the Forestry Organization. On the other hand, the majority of employees are satisfied from their works and they think “the feeling to be useful to the community” as the most important factor affecting job satisfaction. Similarly, the majority of employees have “medium level” satisfaction with the wages they receive and they are open to share their opinions on issues related to forestry. Also, most of the interviewees have the idea that the management and inspection mentality which is far from political, social and administrative pressures will increase the job satisfaction. Likewise, 75% of employees feel unsafe in any legal inquiry about the task. All these negativities were revealed and interpreted as factors reducing job satisfaction and so success. According to these results, some suggestions were developed towards increasing job satisfaction.
