Abstract

Purpose: This study was carried out to reveal the relationship between Total Quality Management (TQM) practices and job satisfaction, quality of work life and turnover intention through the perceptions of hospital employees.

Methodology: The study was carried out through a questionnaire applied to 515 personnel working in 5 private hospitals and 2 training-research hospitals operating in Ankara. In the research, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), which is used to test hypotheses observed in theoretical models and designed to explain the causal relationships between latent variables, was used.

Findings: As a result of the study, there is a significant positive relationship between TQM and job satisfaction, total quality management and quality of work life and job satisfaction and quality of work life. It is concluded that there is a significant negative relationship between job satisfaction and turnover intention.

Originality: In this study, unlike the existing studies in the literature, the relationship between TQM, job satisfaction, quality of work life and turnover intention was examined comparatively in the administrative and health personnel working in public and private hospitals.

TOPLAM KALİTE YÖNETİMİ UYGULAMALARI İLE HASTANE ÇALIŞANLARININ İŞ TATMİNİ, İŞ YAŞAM KALİTESİ VE İŞTEN AYRILMA NİYETİ ARASINDAKİ İLİŞKİ

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışma, Toplam Kalite Yönetimi (TKY) uygulamaları ile iş tatmini, iş yaşam kalitesi ve işten ayrılma niyeti arasındaki ilişkiyi, hastane çalışanlarının algıları üzerinden karşılaştırmalı olarak ortaya koymak amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir.

Yöntem: Çalışma, Ankara’da faaliyet gösteren 5 özel hastane ve 2 eğitim-araştırma hastanesinde çalışan 515 personele uygulanan anket aracılığı ile yürütülmüştür. Araştırmada kuramsal modellerde gözlenen ve gizli değişkenler arasındaki nedensel ilişkileri açıklamak üzere tasarlanan hipotezlerin test edilmesinde kullanılan Yapısal Eşitlik Modellemesi (YEM)’nden yararlanılmıştır.

Bulgular: Çalışma sonucunda; toplam kalite yönetimi ile iş tatmini, TKY ile iş yaşam kalitesi ve iş tatmini ile iş yaşam kalitesi arasında anlamlı bir pozitif ilişki, iş tatmini ile işten ayrılma niyeti arasında anlamlı bir negatif ilişki olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Özgünlük: Bu çalışmada literatürdeki mevcut çalışmalardan farklı olarak, TKY, iş tatmini, iş yaşam kalitesi ve işten ayrılma niyeti arasındaki ilişki kamu hastaneleri ile özel hastanelerde çalışan idari personel ve sağlık personelinde karşılaştırmalı olarak birlikte incelenmiştir.
