Abstract

Construction is a complicated and dynamic production type that has lots of uncertainties. Well-motivated employees are needed for effective and efficient construction. During the employees’ reaching their goals on themselves “demotivation” becomes significant, which emerges from the presence of the situations creating dissatisfaction and discontentedness. With this context, identifying the demotivation factors of employees is important. From this point of view, in this study, the determination of the factors demotivating civil engineers working in Turkish private construction industry is aimed. Within this scope, data were collected from a questionnaire prepared by being determined 69 demotivation criteria which will influence civil engineers and from 118 civil engineers throughout the country who are employed in private construction industry, as a result of a literature research made comprehensively. Factors demotivating civil engineers are respectively determined by carrying out several statistical analyses to the data collected.

Özet

İnşaat işleri karmaşık, dinamik ve belirsizlikleri fazla olan bir üretim türüdür. Yapı üretim sürecinin etkin ve verimli olabilmesi için iyi motive olmuş çalışanlara ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Çalışanların amaçlarına ulaşması sürecinde kendilerinde tatminsizlik ve memnuniyetsizlik yaratan durumların varlığından ortaya çıkan “demotivasyon” kavramı önemli bir hale gelmektedir. Bu kapsamda sektör çalışanlarını demotive eden faktörlerin bilinmesi önem arz etmektedir. Bu noktadan hareketle, bu çalışmada Türk inşaat sektöründe özel sektörde çalışan inşaat mühendislerini demotive eden faktörlerin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu çerçevede, yapılan literatür araştırması sonucunda inşaat mühendislerini etkileyebilecek 69 demotivasyon kriteri belirlenerek hazırlanan anket ile ülke genelindeki 118 inşaat mühendisinden veri toplanmıştır. Toplanan verilere çeşitli istatistiksel analizler uygulanarak inşaat mühendislerini demotive eden faktörler belirlenmiştir.
