Farklı Yaş Gruplarındaki (Kuşaklardaki) Çalışanların İşyerinde Eğlenmeye Yönelik Tutumu, İşyerinde Eğlenme Düzeyi, İş Tatmini ve İşten Ayrılma Niyetine İlişkin Bir Araştırma

Bu çalışma işyerinde eğlenmeye yönelik tutumu, eğlenme düzeyini, iş tatminini ve işten ayrılma niyetini ortaya koymak ve işyerinde eğlenmeye yönelik tutum, eğlenme düzeyi, iş tatmini ve işten ayrılma niyeti arasındaki ilişkileri belirlemek amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Ayrıca işyerinde eğlenmeye yönelik tutum, eğlenme düzeyi, iş tatmini ve işten ayrılma niyetinin kuşaklara göre farklılıklarını ortaya koymak çalışmanın diğer bir amacını oluşturmaktadır. Araştıma bir üretim işletmesinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Üretim işletmesinde görev yapan 94 beyaz yakalı çalışandan veri toplanmıştır. Veri toplamak için anket yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın sonuçlarına göre, işyerinde eğlenmeye yönelik tutum işten ayrılma niyetini doğrudan etkilemektedir. Eğlenmeye yönelik tutumun işten ayrılma niyeti üzerindeki etkisinde iş tatmininin aracılık rolü ortaya çıkmıştır. Ayrıca eğlenme düzeyinin işyerinde eğlenmeye yönelik tutum, iş tatmini ve işten ayrılma niyeti arasındaki doğrudan ve dolaylı ilişkilerinde moderator rolü ortaya çıkmıştır.
