GÖNÜLLÜLERİN MOTİVASYON VE İŞ TATMİNLERİ ÜZERİNE BİR ARAŞTIRMA: ÖRGÜT KÜLTÜRÜNÜN ARACILIK ROLÜNÜN İNCELENMESİ

Bu çalışmada, kapsamı İşlevsel Yaklaşım Kuramı tarafından tanımlanmış işlevsel amaç ve beklentiler esas alınarak, kişileri gönüllü olmaya yönelten motivasyonların iş tatmin duygusu üzerindeki etkileri incelenmiştir. Ayrıca, örgüt kültürüne ait özelliklerin gönüllü motivasyonu ve iş tatmini arasındaki ilişki üzerinde aracılık rolünün bulunup bulunmadığı da araştırılmıştır. Çalışmanın hipotezleri, çeşitli alanlarda faaliyetlerini sürdürmekte olan gönüllü kuruluşlarının İstanbul bölgesindeki farklı şubelerine kayıtlı 385 gönüllü üyesinden elde edilen veriler kullanılarak test edilmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlar, “anlayış” ve “kariyer” motivasyon boyutlarının gönüllülerin iş tatmin seviyelerini anlamlı ve pozitif yönde yordadığını, ancak örgüt kültürünün herhangi bir aracılık etkisinin bulunmadığını göstermiştir. Araştırma bulgularının ne anlama geldiği akademik ve pratik bakış açılarıyla tartışılmıştır.

A STUDY ON VOLUNTEER MOTIVATION AND JOB SATISFACTION: AN EXAMİNATION OF ORGANİZATIONAL CULTURE’S MEDIATION ROLE

Based on the principles described by the Functional Approach Theory, the existent study explored the influences of motivations which induce people to volunteer on the job satisfaction levels of them. Besides, organizations’ cultural characteristics’ mediational role on the relationship between volunteer motivation and job satisfaction was also investigated. The hyphotheses of the research were tested by using the data collected from 385 volunteers registered to different voluntary organizations’ branches located in Istanbul province. The results confirmed that “understanding” and “career” dimensions of volunteer motivation significantly predicted volunteers’ job satisfaction levels. However, any mediational effect of organizational culture wasn’t found on that relationship inbetween. What the study’s findings mean were discussed both from academic and practical points of view.
