Abstract

This study examined associations between attitudes toward shift work, work motivation, job satisfaction, and sleep disturbance among manufacturing employees working shifts. It employed a cross-sectional survey design and purposive sampling. The data were collected from approximately 380 shift workers in Konya, Turkiye. Participants completed a battery of self-report questionnaires assessing positive and negative shift work attitudes, work motivation, job satisfaction, and sleep difficulties. Correlational analyses indicated that more positive attitudes toward shift work were associated with higher work motivation and job satisfaction. Negative shift work attitudes also showed positive associations with job motivation and satisfaction. Increased sleep difficulties were associated with less positive work-related outcomes (lower motivation and job satisfaction) but was not significantly related to shift work attitudes. Given the cross-sectional and self-report nature of the data these findings should be interpreted cautiously and not as evidence of causality. Future research using longitudinal designs is needed to clarify mechanisms linking shift work experiences, sleep, and work-related outcomes.

Özet

Bu çalışma, vardiyalı çalışmaya yönelik tutumlar, iş motivasyonu, iş doyumu ve uyku problemleri arasındaki ilişkileri, vardiyalı çalışma düzeninde çalışan imalat sektörü çalışanları arasında incelemiştir. Araştırmada enlemesine kesitsel desen ve amaçlı örnekleme kullanılmıştır. Konya ilinde yaklaşık 380 vardiyalı çalışandan veri toplanmıştır. Katılımcılar vardiyalı çalışmaya yönelik olumlu ve olumsuz tutumları, iş motivasyonunu, iş doyumunu ve uyku problemlerini değerlendiren öz-bildirim ölçeklerini tamamlamıştır. Korelasyon analizleri, vardiyalı çalışmaya yönelik artan olumlu tutumların daha yüksek iş motivasyonu ve iş doyumu ile ilişkili olduğunu göstermiştir. Vardiyalı çalışmaya yönelik olumsuz tutumlar da motivasyon ve doyum ile yine pozitif ilişkiler göstermiştir. Artan uyku problemleri, olumsuz işle ilgili göstergelerle (daha düşük motivasyon ve iş doyumu) ilişkili olmakla birlikte, vardiyalı çalışmaya yönelik tutumlarla anlamlı bir ilişki göstermemiştir. Verilerin kesitsel ve öz-bildirime dayalı niteliği nedeniyle bulgular temkinli biçimde yorumlanmalı ve nedenselliğe kanıt olarak değerlendirilmemelidir. Boylamsal desenlerin kullanıldığı gelecekteki araştırmalar, vardiyalı çalışma deneyimleri, uyku ve işle ilgili göstergeler arasındaki mekanizmaların aydınlatılmasına katkı sağlayacaktır.
