Kadın Çalışanlarda İş Tatmini ve Örgütsel Bağlılık Arasındaki İlişki

In this study the relationship between job satisfaction and organizational commitment in female employees has been examined. The structural equation modelling technique was used to analyze complex models with both direct and indirect relationships. Quantitative data was gathered by utilizing questionnaires. To demonstrate convergence validity, confirmatory factor analysis was used. Composite reliability and AVE scores were calculated to assess the scales' reliability and discriminant validity. The AMOS statistical program's structural equation model method was used to test the hypotheses. Out of six hypotheses, two of them were supported. It has been empirically proven that Internal Job Satisfaction has a direct effect on Affective Commitment and Normative Commitment, where External Job Satisfaction does not have a direct effect on any sub-dimensions of organizational commitment. Although job satisfaction and organizational commitment have been examined individually in many studies, this research focused on female employees working in the service sector while evaluating the relationship between the two concepts in the light of current data.Bu çalışmada, kadın çalışanlarda iş tatmini ile örgütsel bağlılık arasındaki ilişki incelenmiştir.

Güvenilirliği değerlendirmek içinse Cronbach alfa değerleri hesaplanmıştır. Araştırma hipotezleri yapısal eşitlik modelleme yöntemi kullanılarak test edilmiştir. Yapılan analizler sonucunda toplam dokuz hipotezden beş tanesi desteklenmiştir. Teknolojik İşsizlik Kaygısının Örgütsel Sinizm üzerinde pozitif yönlü etkisi olduğu ampirik olarak kanıtlanmıştır. Analizlerden elde edilen bulgulara göre, teknik beceri eksikliğinin örgütsel sinizmin hiçbir boyutu üzerinde doğrudan bir etkisi yoktur; sürekli teknolojik gelişmeler örgütsel sinizmin tüm boyutları üzerinde doğrudan etkiye sahiptir; yıkıcı teknolojik gelişmelerse örgütsel sinizmin duygusal ve bilişsel boyutları üzerinde doğrudan etkiye sahiptir.
