Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye’deki müzik öğretmenlerinin mesleklerinden tatminlerini ölçmek ve kişiliğin tatmin düzeyi ile olan ilişkisini incelemektir. Beş faktörlü kişilik modeli çalışmanın teorik çerçevesini oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmaya, Türkiye’nin çeşitli yerlerinde görev yapan 120 müzik öğretmeni katılmıştır. Sonuçlar da, müzik öğretmenlerinin Extroversion (Dışadönüklük), Conscientiousness (Sorumluluk) ve Openness (Deneyime Açıklık) kişilik puanlarının yüksek; Neuroticism (Duygusal Dengesizlik/Növrotizm) puanın orta düzey; Agreeableness (Yumuşak başlılık) boyutunun puanının ise düşük olduğu ortaya çıkarılmıştır. Buna ilaveten, kişilik tiplerinin mesleki tatmin ile olan ilişkisini incelemek amacı ile yapılan analiz sonucunda, Duygusal Dengesizlik/Növrotizm ve Deneyime Açıklık kişilik puanları ile mesleki tatmin arasında istatistiki olarak pozitif yönlü ve anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmaktadır.
