Özet

İş yaşamında sağlıklı iletişim kuramayan ve yeteri kadar destek göremediğini düşündüğü için yalnızlık hissine kapılan bir çalışan, iş tatminsizliği ve yaşam tatminsizliği yaşamakta ve çalışmaya tutkunluğunun azalması gibi olumsuz durumlarla birlikte çalıştığı işletmeye zarar verebilmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı iş yaşamında yalnızlık ile yaşam tatmini, iş tatmini ve çalışmaya tutkunluk kavramları arasındaki ilişkileri kapsamlı ve detaylı olarak turizm sektörü çalışanları örneklemi üzerinde incelemektir. Araştırma verileri Antalya’da turizm sektöründe çoğunluğunun yönetici olarak görev yaptığı 338 çalışandan basit rastgele örnekleme yöntemi kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Yapısal eşitlik modellemesi yardımıyla gerçekleştirilen yol analizleri ile bu çalışma iki aşamalı ve 6 hipoteze dayanmaktadır. Araştırmada iş yaşamı yalnızlığı ile iş ve yaşam tatmini, çalışmaya tutkunluk ilişkileri ilk bölümde araştırılmıştır. Araştırmanın sonucunda iş tatmininin iş yaşamında yalnızlık ile yaşam tatmini arasında; çalışmaya tutkunluğun iş yaşamında yalnızlık ile yaşam tatmini arasında ve çalışmaya tutkunluğun iş yaşamında yalnızlık ile iş tatmini ilişkisinde aracılık rolü üstlendiği teyit edilmiştir.
