Kişilerin ruhsal ve fiziksel sağlıklarını koruyucu bir etkisi olan insana yakışır işe erişim sağlamak günümüz koşullarında oldukça güçleşmiştir. Buna bağlı olarak son yıllarda uluslararası raporlarda sürdürülebilir kalkınma için önemli bir destekleyici faktör olarak gösterilen insana yakışır işlerin artırılması gerektiğine dikkat çekilmektedir. Benzer şekilde kariyer psikolojik danışmanlığı alanyazınında da insana yakışır işe yapılan vurgu son yıllarda giderek artmıştır. Bu bağlamda insana yakışır işi merkeze alan Çalışma Psikolojisi Kuramı ilgili kavramın yordayıcılarını ve sonuçlarını içeren kuramsal bir model ileri sürmüş ve farklı kültürlerde söz konusu modelin varsayımlarını test etmiştir. Mevcut araştırmada da insana yakışır işin sonuçları Çalışma Psikolojisi Kuramı temelinde ele alınarak çalışan yetişkinler üzerinde bir model testi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Buna göre söz konusu modelde insana yakışır işin yaşam doyumu ve iş doyumu ile ilişkisinde iş ihtiyaçları doyumunun aracılık rolü test edilmiştir. Toplamda 354 çalışan yetişkinden elde edilen veriler üzerinde yapılan analizlere göre insana yakışır işin yaşam doyumu ve iş doyumunu anlamlı şekilde yordadığı ve bu ilişkide iş ihtiyaçları doyumunun da anlamlı bir aracı role sahip olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Araştırmadan elde edilen bulgular alanyazın temelinde tartışılarak araştırmacı ve politika yapıcılara çeşitli önerilerde bulunulmuştur.

DECENT WORK TO WELL-BEING: A MODEL TEST BASED ON PSYCHOLOGY OF WORKİNG THEORY

Öz

Access to decent work, which has a protective effect on people's mental and physical health, has become very difficult in today's conditions. Accordingly, it has been pointed out that decent work, which has been shown as an important supporting factor for sustainable development in international reports in recent years, should be increased. Similarly, the emphasis on decent work in career counseling literature has increased in recent years. In this context, Psychology of Working Theory, which focuses on decent work, put forward a theoretical model that includes the predictors and outcomes of decent work and tested the assumptions of the model in question in different cultures. In the present study, a model test was conducted on working adults by considering the results of decent work on the basis of Psychology of Working Theory. Accordingly, in this model was tested, the mediating role of job needs satisfaction in the relationship between decent work and life satisfaction and job satisfaction. According to the analyzes made on the data obtained from a total of 354 working adults, it was concluded that decent work significantly predicted life satisfaction and job satisfaction, and job needs satisfaction had a significant mediating role in this relationship. The findings obtained from the research were discussed on the basis of the literature, and various suggestions were made to researchers and policy makers.
