DUYGULARIN YÖNETİLMESİNİN, İŞ TATMİNİ VE DUYGUSAL TÜKENMİŞLİK DÜZEYİ ÜZERİNE ETKİLERİ

Abstract

Duygusal emek, bireyin işini yaparken kendisinden beklenilen duyguları sergilemesidir. Gerçekte hissedilen duygular ve bireyden beklenilen duygular arasındaki çatışma ortaya duygusal uyumsuzluk, çıkmasına neden olmaktadır. Bu uyumsuzluk birey açısından çeşitli olumsuz sonuçlara yol açabilmektedir. Araştırmanın amacı, çalışanların duygusal emek düzeylerinin, iş tatminleri ve duygusal tükenmişlikleri üzerindeki etkisini saptamaya çalışmaktır. Araştırma, işlerini yaparken sürekli olarak duygusal emek kullanmak durumunda olan 307 öğretmen üzerinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmada, veri toplama yöntemi olarak anket formu kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen veriler SPSS 20.0 programı yardımıyla test edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda duygusal emeğin alt boyutlarından olan yüzeysel davranış sergileme ve iş tatmini arasında negatif, derinden davranış ve doğal davranış sergileme ile iş tatmini arasında pozitif bir ilişki saptanmıştır. Diğer taraftan yüzeysel ve doğal davranış sergilemenin duygusal tükenmeyi arttırdığı, derinden davranış sergilemenin ise duygusal tükenmeyi azalttığı sonucuna varılmıştır.
