Kariyer Stresinin ve Kariyer Kararlılığının Psikolojik İyi Oluş Üzerindeki Etkisi

Bu araştırmanın amacı ön lisans eğitimine devam eden öğrencilerde kariyer kararlılığının ve kariyer stresinin psikolojik iyi oluş üzerindeki etkisini ortaya koymaktır. Araştırmanın örneklemini Sakarya’da bir meslek yüksekokulunun farklı programlarında ön lisans eğitimine devam eden 430 öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Veri toplama metodu olarak anket tercih edilen araştırmada Kariyer Stresi Ölçeği, Kariyer Kararlılığı Ölçeği ve Psikolojik İyi Oluş Ölçeği olmak üzere üç ayrı ölçek kullanılmıştır. Hipotezleri test etmek amacıyla çoklu regresyon analizi yapılmıştır. Araştırma sonuçlarına bakıldığında kariyer belirsizliği ve bilgi eksikliği ile dışsal çatışmanın psikolojik iyi oluş üzerinde negatif yönde ve anlamlı bir etkisi olduğu görülmüştür. Kariyer kararlılığının ise psikolojik iyi oluşu pozitif yönde ve anlamlı bir şekilde etkilediği bulgusu elde edilmiştir. Ayrıca araştırmada psikolojik iyi oluş üzerinde en fazla etkiye sahip olan bağımsız değişkenin kariyer kararlılığı olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Araştırma sonucu edinilen bulgular tartışılmış ve bu kapsamda birtakım önerilerde bulunulmuştur.

The Effect of Career Stress and Career Decidedness on Psychological Well-Being

The aim of this research is to propound the effect of career decidedness and career stress on psychological well-being of students who continue their associate degree education. The sample of the research consists of 430 students who continue their associate degree education in different programs of a vocational school in Sakarya. Questionnaire was used as the data collection method and three different scales were used: Career Stress Scale, Career Decidedness Scale and Psychological Well-Being Scale. Multiple regression analysis was performed to test the hypotheses. Looking at the results of the research, it was seen that career ambiguity and lacking information and external conflict have a negative and significant effect on psychological well-being. Career decidedness, on the other hand, has been found to have a positive and significant effect on psychological well-being. In addition, it was concluded in the study that the independent variable that has the greatest effect on psychological well-being is career decidedness. The findings obtained as a result of the research were discussed and some suggestions were made in this context.
