Publication: Üniversitelerdeki İngilizce okutmanlarının iş tatmini
Abstract
Araştırmamızın konusu, İstanbul'da bulunan dört üniversitede çalışan İngilizce hazırlık bölümü okutmanlarının iş tatminini belirlemektir. Araştırmanın amacı, iş tatmini boyutlarının (genel, içsel ve dışsal) çeşitli demografik değişkenlere göre (cinsiyet, yaş, eğitim düzeyi, bu işyerinde çalışma süresi, toplam çalışma süresi, gelir düzeyi) ve üniversitenin türüne göre (özel ve devlet) farklılık gösterip göstermediğini ortaya çıkarmaktır. Ayrıca iş tatmininin şimdiki işi seçmekteki nedenlere göre farklılığın ölçülmesi de hedeflenmiştir. Araştırmamıza Marmara Üniversitesi (n:50), Yıldız Teknik Üniversitesi (n:50), İstanbul Bilgi Üniversitesi (n:50) ve Yeditepe Üniversitesi'nden (n:84) toplam 234 okutman katılmıştır. Örnekleri grubu,gönüllülük esasına göre seçilmiştir. İş tatmini ve onu etkileyen içsel ve dışsal faktörler, Weiss, Dawis, England ve Lofquist (1967) tarafından geliştirilen Minnesota İş Tatmini Anketi ile ölçülmüştür. Araştırmanın sonuçlarına göre; demografik değişkenler bağlamında yapılan kıyaslamalar, iş tatmini boyutlarının ortalamaları ile yaş ve eğitim düzeyi arasında anlamlı bir farklılık olduğunu göstermiştir. Öte yandan, iki farklı üniversite türüyle iş tatmini boyutlarının ortalamaları arasında anlamlı bir farklılık bulunmamıştır. Ayrıca,neden bazında yapılan analizler sonucunda ise, iş tatmini ile birinci neden (Yapmak istediği bir işi yapabilme olanağının olması ) arasında anlamlı bir ilişkiye rastlanmıştır.
