Abstract

Job satisfaction is one the mostly studied subjects. However, a few research focused the relationships between job satisfaction and organization structural variables. Moreover, there are so few studies concerning with academics’ job satisfaction level. The aims of this research are to fill this gap and to point out how organizational variables might affect job satisfaction level of academics working in Turkish public universities. To achieve these aims, the data were collected from 152 academics working in different eight puplic universities. According to regrassion analysis results, while job satisfaction is positively related to information flow and innovation, there is a negative relationship between jo satisfaction and standardization of procedures. The affects of autority and control over job satisfaction can not be explained in this reseach.

Özet

İş tatmini, sıkça çalışılan konulardan biridir. Ancak, çok az sayıda araştırma, çalışanların iş tatmini ile organizasyon yapısına ilişkin faktörler arasındaki ilişkileri incelemiştir. Dahası, bunlardan çok azı akademisyenlerin iş tatmini üzerinedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, bu boşluğu doldurabilmek ve Türkiye’de kamu üniversitelerinde çalışan akademisyenlerin iş tatmini düzeylerinin örgüt yapılarından nasıl etkilendiğini ortaya koymaktır. Bu amaçla anket çalışması uygulanmış ve anket formu sekiz kamu üniversitesinden 152 farklı öğretim elemanınca doldurulmuştur. Uygulanan regresyon analizi sonuçlarına göre prosedürlerin standartlaştırılmasının iş tatmini düzeyi üzerine negatif etkisi varken, bilgi akışının varlığı ve yaratıcılık değişkenlerinin etkileri pozitif olmuştur. İncelenen diğer iki değişkenin, otorite ve kontrol, etkisi açıklanamamıştır.
