Beden Eğitimi Öğretmenlerinin Örgüt Sağlığı Algıları ile Mesleğe Yönelik Davranışları Arasındaki İlişki: Cinsiyet Farklılıklarına İlişkin Bir Araştırma

Bu çalışmanın amacı, beden eğitimi öğretmenlerinin örgütsel sağlık algıları ile mesleğe yönelik davranışları arasındaki ilişkinin cinsiyet farklılıklarına göre incelenmesidir. Çalışmaya, İzmir iline bağlı beş ilçenin ilk ve ortaöğretim kurumlarında görev yapan, 221 beden eğitimi öğretmeni (98 kadın, 123 erkek) katılmıştır. Araştırmada Örgüt Sağlığı Envanteri (Akbaba, 1997), Mesleğe Yönelik Davranış ve Yaşantı Modelleri Ölçeği (Gençer ve diğ., 2010) ve beden eğitimi öğretmenlerinin demografik bilgilerini elde kullanılmıştır. İki değişken veri seti arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemek ve ölçmek amacıyla kanonik korelasyon analizi kullanılmıştır. Uygulanan kanonik korelasyon analizi sonucunda, genel örneklem için örgüt kimliği ve yaşam doyumu; kadın beden eğitimi öğretmenleri için çevresel etkililik ve içsel huzur ve dengeleme; erkek beden eğitimi öğretmenleri için çevresel etkililik ve başarma eğilimi alt boyutları ön plana çıkmıştır. Kadın ve erkek beden eğitimi öğretmenleri için okulun iç ve dış çevresindeki etkileşim ve uyumun önemli olduğu anlaşılmıştır. Bununla beraber, kadın beden eğitimi öğretmenleri için iş ve aile yaşamı arasındaki dengenin sağlanması önemliyken, erkek beden eğitimi öğretmenleri için, aile sorumluluklarından ötürü, işlerini en iyi şekilde yerine getirebilmek için çaba sarf etmek önemlidir.

The Relationship between Organizational Health Perceptions and Work-Related Behaviors of Physical Education Teachers: An Investigation of Gender Differences

The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between organizational health perceptions and work-related behaviors of physical education teachers in terms of gender differences. A total of 221 physical education teachers (98 females and 123 males) working at primary and secondary education institutions in five towns of Izmir participated in this study. The Organizational Health Inventory (Akbaba, 1997), Work-Related Behaviors and Experience Pattern Scale (Gençer et al., 2010) and a questionnaire consisting of questions designed to obtain the demographic information of the physical education teachers were used in the study. Canonical correlation analysis is used to identify and measure the associations among two sets of variables. As a result of the canonical correlation analysis, sub-dimensions of organizational identity and satisfaction with life were prominent for the overall sample; environmental effectiveness and balance and mental stability for female physical education teachers; and environmental effectiveness and tendency to exert for male physical education teachers. It appeared that interaction and harmony inside and outside the school are important for both female and male physical education teachers. In addition, while it is important to maintain a balance between professional life and family life for female physical education teachers, for male physical education teachers it is important to make an effort to fulfill their work-related tasks ideally due to their responsibilities to their families.
