Öğretmenlerin İş Tatminin Bireysel Performanslarına Etkisinin İncelenmesi

Abstract

This research aimed to examine whether teachers' job satisfaction has an impact on their individual performance. Relational screening model was used in the research. According to the research results; It is seen that teachers' individual job performance and job satisfaction levels are above average. According to teachers' perceptions, while it was revealed that individual job performance perceptions did not vary between men and women, there was a significant difference in job satisfaction perceptions. Accordingly, men's perception of job satisfaction was higher than women. Again, in terms of job satisfaction, it was concluded that the job satisfaction perception of the group between the ages of 51-60 was higher than the other age groups, while in terms of individual job performance, the individual job performance perception of the group between the ages of 31-40 was higher than the group between the ages of 20-30. It turned out that it was high. On the other hand, it was revealed that teachers' perceptions of job satisfaction and individual job performance did not differ depending on whether they were married or single. Between job satisfaction scale and professional experience groups; It was concluded that the job satisfaction perception of the group with 20 years and above was higher than the groups with 1-5 years and 6-10 years. Regarding individual job performance, it was concluded that the individual job performance perception of the group with 16-20 years of experience was higher than the groups with 1-5 years, 11-15 years and 20 years and above. In addition, it was revealed that teachers' job satisfaction and individual job performance perceptions did not change depending on whether they had an undergraduate or graduate degree. The difference between the job satisfaction scale and the arithmetic averages of the school grade groups he worked in was not statistically significant. However, the difference between the individual job performance scale and the arithmetic averages of the school grade groups he worked in was found to be statistically significant. Finally, there is a significant, low and positive relationship between teachers' job satisfaction and individual job performance. It is understood that job satisfaction perceptions significantly and positively predict individual job performance perceptions. In other words, a 100-unit increase in teachers' job satisfaction dimension increases their individual job performance perceptions by 9.6%.
