Abstract

Istanbul, as one of Türkiye's most dynamic and cosmopolitan cities, receives significant migration from different geographical regions of the country. However, the process of adapting to this large city brings various challenges for socio-economic migrants. Based on this, this research uses a predictive correlational model to determine the extent to which socio-economic migrants' positive identity perceptions are predicted by decent work, meaning of life, and unlimited and multifaceted careers. The population of this study consists of adult individuals born outside Istanbul, Turkey's largest city, who migrated to this city due to socio-economic reasons. The study group was selected using the criterion sampling method, a type of purposive sampling. Of the participants, 60.9% (f=282) and 39.1% (f=181) are women, and 84.4% (f=391) work in the private sector while 15.6% (f=72) work in public institutions. Correlation and hierarchical regression were used as data analysis methods in the research. When the data obtained in the research were analyzed, it was determined that the sub-dimensions of decent work, namely physically and relationally safe working conditions, access to health services, and the alignment of institutional values with family and social values, as well as unlimited and multifaceted careers and finally, the presence and search for meaning from the sub-dimensions of meaning in life, were predictors of positive identity perception. The findings were discussed based on the literature and recommendations were made.

Özet

İstanbul, Türkiye'nin en dinamik ve kozmopolit şehirlerinden biri olarak, ülkenin farklı coğrafi bölgelerinden yoğun göç almaktadır. Ancak bu büyük kente uyum sağlama süreci, sosyo-ekonomik göçmenler için çeşitli zorlukları da beraberinde getirmektedir. Bu noktadan hareketle bu araştırmada, sosyo-ekonomik göçmenlerin olumlu kimlik algılarının insana yakışır iş, yaşamın anlamı, sınırsız ve çok yönlü kariyer tarafından yordanma durumunun belirlenmesi amacıyla yordayıcı korelasyonel model kullanılmıştır. Bu çalışmanın evrenini Türkiye’nin en büyük ili olan İstanbul dışında doğup bu şehre sosyo-ekonomik sebeplerle geç etmiş yetişkin bireyler oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubu amaçsal örnekleme yöntemlerinden ölçüt örnekleme yöntemi ile seçilmiştir. Araştırmaya katılan kişilerin %60.9’u (f=282) ve %39.1’i (f=181) kadın ve %84.4’ü (f=391) özel sektörde çalışırken %15.6’sı (f=72) kamu kurumunda çalışmaktadır. Araştırmada veri analizi olarak korelasyon ve hiyerarşik regresyon kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada elde edilen veriler analiz edildiğinde insana yakışır iş alt boyutlarından fiziksel ve ilişkisel güvenli çalışma koşulları, sağlık hizmetlerine erişim ve kurumsal değerlerle ailevi ve sosyal değerlerin uyumunun, sınırsız ve çok yönlü kariyerin ve son olarak yaşamın anlamı alt boyutlarından anlamın varlığı ve anlam arayışının olumlu kimlik algısının yordayıcısı olduğu saptanmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular alan yazından hareketle tartışılmış ve önerilerde bulunulmuştur.
