Türkiye'deki Kadın Üniversite Yöneticilerinin Stres ve Kaygı Düzeylerinin İncelenmesi *

Bu araştırmada Türkiye'deki kadın üniversite yöneticilerinin iş ortamında yaşadıkları stres ve kaygının çeşitli yönlerden incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla kadın üniversite yöneticilerinin stres ve kaygı düzeyleri betimlenmiş, bu düzeylerin yöneticilik görevi, akademik unvan, medeni durum ve yaşa göre farklılaşma durumu sınanmıştır. Ayrıca katılımcıların stres ve kaygı düzeyleri arasında ilişki olup olmadığı test edilmiştir. Türkiye'deki üniversitelerde çalışan 177 kadın akademisyenin katıldığı araştırmanın bulguları, kadın üniversite yöneticilerinin yaşadıkları iş stresinin orta, kaygının ise düşük düzeyde olduğunu göstermektedir. Üst düzey yönetim görevlerinde bulunmayan, akademik unvanı düşük olan ve genç kadın yöneticiler daha çok stres yaşarken, üst düzey yönetim görevlerinde bulunmayan ve evli olmayan genç kadın yöneticiler daha fazla kaygı duymaktadır. Kadın üniversite yöneticilerinin stres ve kaygı düzeyleri arasında pozitif yönlü bir ilişki tespit edilmiştir.

The Examination of Stress and Anxiety Levels of the Female University Administrators in Turkey *

This research aimed to examine the stress and anxiety levels of female administrators working in Turkish universities across various aspects. For this purpose, stress and anxiety levels were calculated, variation across administrative position, academic title, marital status, and age were analyzed. Furthermore, the relationship between stress and anxiety levels was tested. Findings derived from 177 administrators indicate that female administrators' stress levels were moderate whereas anxiety levels were low. Non-married and young participants with low managerial positions reported higher anxiety levels whereas participants with low managerial positions, academic titles, and younger ages reported higher stress levels. Moreover, stress and anxiety levels were found to be positively correlated.
