Öz

Türkiye ekonomisinde önemli bir yere sahip olan tekstil ve hazır giyim sektörü rekabetin yoğun olarak hissedildiği değişken ve
dinamik bir sektördür. Bu dinamik yapı içerisinde çalışan yöneticiler çalışma hayatlarında sıklıkla kaosla ve çözülmesi gereken çok
sayıda problemle karşılaşmaktadırlar. Bu değişken ortamda yoğun bir tempoyla çalışan yöneticilerin stres ve bıkkınlık düzeyleri
yükselmektedir. Bu durum ise bir yandan çalışanların işe ve işletmeye karşı tutumlarını olumsuz etkilemekte diğer yandan ise işletmenin
performansını olumsuz etkilemektedir. Bu çalışma tekstil ve hazır giyim sektöründe çalışan üretim yöneticilerinin tükenmişlik
düzeylerini analiz etmeyi hedeflemektedir. Bu amaçla, İzmir, Bursa, İstanbul, Gaziantep, Kayseri ve Kahramanmaraş illerindeki tekstil
ve hazır giyim fabrikalarında çalışan üretim yöneticilerini kapsayan bir anket çalışması gerçekleştirilmiştir. Elde edilen araştırma
sonuçları analiz edilerek önerilerde bulunulmuştur.
