The purpose of this study was to analyze the job satisfaction level of
the personnel who were working at City Directorates" of Youth and Sports.
The sample used consisted of 105 personnel. Subjects were from City
Directorates of Youth and Sports of Bolu, Kastamonu, Sakarya and
Zonguldak.
Job Satisfaction Scale (JSS), developed by Cetinkanat, was used to
collect the data. SPSS-PC, statistical analysis program, was used to
evaluate the data: T- Test, One-Way Anova and Tukey-B Tests were used to
evaluate the mean differences among the groups of sex, age, salary,
education level, working year, status and city variables.
It was concluded that there were no significant differences among the
groups of sex, salary, education level and status (P > 0.05). But, there were
ivsignificant differences among the group of age at the dimensions of Work
Opportunity and Development & Promotion Opportunity, the group of
working year at the dimensions of Pay & Personnel Opportunity and the
group of city at the dimensions of Work Opportunity, Development &
Promotion Opportunity and Physical Environment (P< 0.05).

INTRODUCTION
People are the chief resources used by a manager; he depends on
their actions to achieve results. Consequently, it is important for to
understand why people behave as they do.
Formal organization is one means of guiding the behavior of people.
But if we are to understand fully how an organization works, we have to
appreciate the full range of influences, formal and otherwise, on the behavior
of organizational members. Both personnel drives and group pressure spur
action.
The term “needs” is sometimes used to refer only to essential
requirements for survival. Here, however , we shall follow the practice of
psychologist and adopt a much broader meaning. Need include both what a
person must have and what he merely wants.
Needs vary widely among individuals, but this variation is largely a
matter of degree and of different ways of satisfying needs. There is enough
similarity in the basic aspiration of most people so that we can talk of general
human needs.
Many classification of needs have been made. We shall confine our
attention to those that can be satisfied to a significant degree by working in a
business enterprise, for these are the needs a manager may be able to do
something about. Drawing on A. H. Maslow’ classic analysis, these job-related wants include; physical needs, security needs, social needs, and
self-expression needs ( Newman and Warren, 1977, pp: 135-136 ).
There is no shortage of motivation theories and tactics that managers
use to motivate employees. However, we can group the theories into two
general categories: content and process theories.
Content theories focus on the factor within a person that drive,
sustain, or stop behavior. Among the most widely recognized content
theories of motivation are those of Maslow, Alderfer, McClelland, and
Herzberg, which attempt to determine the specific needs that motivate
people. Process theories provide a description and analysis of how behavior
is driven, sustained, or stopped. Expectancy and equity theories of
motivation are two of the most important process theories ( Hellriegel et. All.,
1998, pp: 174,199).
In our discussion of human needs, we have concentrated on those
desires that can be met, at least to some degree, by working at a job. Such
‘satisfactions, however, may arise either directly from the work itself or
reward for work. This distinction has an important bearing on how a manager
seeks to motivate his subordinates.
Work itself can be satisfying. A sense of achievement, for instance,
arises from’doing a job well. When a person performs an assigned task and
at the same time satisfies his basic needs, we say he enjoys “direct,” or “on-
the-job,” satisfaction. In such case, it is the work itself and the normal
relations with other people at work that provide satisfying experiences.In contrast, there may be rewards for work that are not generated as
an aspect of work activity. Familiar forms of this kind of rewards are pay,
vacations, and pensions. Let us note that the satisfaction that arise from
such rewards take place outside the management system or work situation,
and mostly outside the company. Work is simply a means of obtaining
satisfaction at a later time and place. We shall refer to these as “indirect,” or
“off-the-job,” satisfaction (Newman and Warren,1977, p: 142 )
When these distinction are applied to the human needs defined early,
we may understand the importance of job satisfaction in the human life.
Locke gives a comprehensive definition of job satisfaction as “a pleasurable
or positive emotional state resulting from the appraisal of one’s job or job
experience.” Job satisfaction is a result of employees perception of how well
their job provides those things which are viewed as important. It is generally
recognized in the organizational behavior field that job satisfaction is the
most important and frequently studied attitude ( Luthans, 1987, p:176).
Job satisfaction typically refers to the attitudes of a single employee.
Although assessments of individual satisfaction can be averaged across all
members of a work unit, the general term used to describe over all group
satisfaction is morale. Group morale is especially important to monitor since
individuals often take their social cues from their work associates and adapt
their own attitudes to conform with those of the group.
Job satisfaction can be viewed as an overall attitude, or it can apply
to the various parts of an individual's job. If it is viewed only as an overall
attitude, however, managers may miss seeing some key hidden exceptionsas they assess an employee's overall satisfaction. Job satisfaction studies,
therefore, often focus on the various parts that are believed to be important,
since these predispose an employee to behave in certain ways.
Since job satisfaction is best viewed as being multidimensional,
managers are cautioned not to allow an employee’s high satisfaction on one
element to offset high dissatisfaction on another by arithmetically blending
both feelings into an average rating.
Attitudes are generally acquired over a long period of time. Similarly,
job satisfaction or dissatisfaction emerges as an employee gains more and
more information about the workplace. Nevertheless, job satisfaction is
dynamic, for it can decline even more quickly than it develops. Managers
cannot establish the conditions leading to high satisfaction now and later
neglect it, for employee needs may fluctuate suddenly. Managers need to
pay attention to employee attitudes week after week, month after month,
year after year ( Newsrtom and Davis, 1993, pp: 195-196 ).
There are three important dimensions to job satisfaction. First, job
satisfaction is an emotional response to a job situation. As such, it cannot be
seen; it can only be inferred. Second, job satisfaction is often determined by
how well outcomes meet or exceed expectations. For example, if
organizational participants feel that they are working much harder than
others in the departments but, are receiving fewer rewards, they will
probably have a negative attitude toward the work, the boss, and/or co-
workers. They will be dissatisfied. On the other hand, if they feel they are
being treated very well and are being paid equitably, they are likely to havea positive attitude toward the job. They will be job- satisfied. Third, job
satisfaction represent several related attitudes. Smith, Kendal, and Hulin
have suggested that there are five job dimensions that represent the most
important characteristic of a job about which people have affective
responses. These are:
. Work itself—the extent to which the job: provides the individual with
interesting task, opportunities for learning, and the chance to accept
responsibility.
N
Pay—the amount financial remuneration that is received and the degree
to which this is viewed as equitable vis-a-vis others in the organization
2
Promotion opportunities —the chances for advancement in the hierarchy
*
Supervision—the abilities of the superior to provide technical assistance
and behavioral support
a
Co-workers—to degree to which fellow workers are technically proficient
and socially supportive
If job satisfaction is high, will the employees perform better than and
the organization be more effective? If job satisfaction is low, will there be
performance problems and ineffectiveness? This question has been asked
by both researchers and practitioners through the years. There are no
simple answers. In examining the outcomes of job satisfaction, it is important
to break down the analysis into a series of specific sub topics. Productivity,
tumover, absenteeism and other effects (Luthans, 1987, pp: 176-177, 186-
187 )Management needs an employee job satisfaction in order to make
sound decisions, both in preventing and solving employee problems. The
types of benefits are discussed that management can gain the conditions
under which a study of job satisfaction will be most likely to succeed.
A typical method used is a job satisfaction survey, also known as a
morale, opinion, attitude, or quality-of-work-life survey. A job satisfaction
survey is a procedure by which employees report their feelings toward their
jobs and work environment. Individual responses are then combined and
analyzed.
If job satisfaction studies are properly planned and administered, they
will usually produce a number of important benefits, both general and
specific,
One benefit of attitude studies is that they give management an
indication of general levels of satisfaction in a company. Surveys also
indicate the specific areas of satisfaction or dissatisfaction (as with
employee services) and the particular groups of employees (as in the
marketing department or among those approaching retirement). In other
words, @ survey tells how employees feel about their jobs, what parts of their
jobs these feelings are focused on, which department are particularly
affected, and whose feelings are involved (for example, supervisors,
employees, or staff specialist). The survey is a powerful diagnostic
instrument for assessing broad employee problems.
Surveys have many other benefits as well. The flow of communication
in all directions is improved as people plan the survey, take it, and discussits result. Surveys can serve as a safety valve, or emotional release, for
people to get things off their chests and later feel better about things.
Training needs can be identified, since employees can report how well they
feel their supervisor performs certain parts of job, such as delegating work
and giving adequate instructions. Survey can also help managers plan and
monitor new programs. By getting feedback on proposed changes in
advance and then conducting a follow-up-survey to evaluate the actual
response. The following example illustrates the multiple payoffs from attitude
surveys.
Aaron Goldberg had strong feelings about how management could
improve its ways of working with people. He felt that some changes were
needed. For more than a year he had been waiting for the right opportunity
to express his viewpoints, but the opportunity never seemed to develop. His
ideas were bottled up within him, and he was beginning to feel agitated. At
about this time management distributed a job satisfaction survey that
included generous space for employee comments. Aaron filled out the
comments pages and felt much better because finally he had a chance to
give management his ideas. The firm gained both useful ideas and a more
satisfied employee ( Newstrom and Davis, 1993. Pp: 203-204 ).
Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the factors that
affects job satisfaction. Thus, it can be possible that the job satisfaction level
of administrative and personnel working at the City Directorates of Youth
and Sports can be increased so, it can carry out the organizational goals
effectively.4.4. STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
The purpose of this study is to determine the job satisfaction level of
the personnel working at City Directorates of Youth and Sports.
4.2. SUB-PROBLEMS
- Are there any differences of the job satisfaction level among different
groups of age, sex, salary, education level, working year and status.
- Are there any differences among the job satisfaction level of personnel of
CDYSs.
4.3. ASSUMPTIONS
It is assumed that the questionnaire was suitable for measuring the
job satisfaction level of the personnel at CDYSs
It is assumed that the personnel, who participated in the study,
answered the questionnaire sincerely and truthfully.
1.4, LIMITATIONS
This study was limited with CDYSs of BOLU, KASTAMONU,
SAKARYA and ZONGULDAK.
This study was limited with the personnel on duty at the time this
study was done.
The personnel working at the towns of the cities was not part of this,
study.SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
There are two reasons why it is important to understand job
‘satisfaction and the factors that affect it. First, from organization’s point of
view, satisfaction can influence number of important job behaviors, including
tardiness, absenteeism, and turnover. These behaviors can have serious
consequences for the overall effectiveness of the organization and its ability
to survive. Second, we should also try to understand the nature and causes
of the job satisfaction simply because satisfaction is an important job
outcome for the individual employee. Job satisfaction is one important
individual-ievel output. Thus, we should strive to understand the factor that
affect job satisfaction both because satisfaction is a system output that is of
importance to individual's and because it is one factor that can affect other
group and organizational-level output. (Mitchell and Larson 1987 pp: 136-
137).
Therefore, this study wil be useful in increasing the jobs satisfaction
level of the persons who work at CDYSs. Thus, it will contribute to
organizational effectiveness of CDYSs.CHAPTER Il
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
In this study, the review of the literature was sperated into three parts. First,
theories that are related motivation. Second, influences on job satisfaction. Third,
outcomes of job satisfaction.
2.1. THEORIES THAT ARE RELATED WITH MOTIVATION
Motivation represents the forces acting on or within a person that
cause the person to behave in a specific, goal-directed manner. Employee
motivation affects productivity, so one of management's job is to channel
employee motivation effectively to achieve organizational goals. The
motivational process begin with identifying a person's needs. Needs are
deficiencies that a person experiences at any particular time. Theories can
be grouped into two general categories: content and process theories.
2.2. CONTENT THEORIES
Content theories of motivation try to explain the factor within a person
that energize, direct, and stop behavior, that is, the specific factor motivate
people. Four widely recognized content theories of motivation are Maslows
needs hierarchy, Alderfer’s ERG theory. McMclelland’s achievement theory,
and Herzberg’s two-factor theory.2 Needs Hierarchy Theory
Abraham Maslow suggested that people have a complex set of
exceptionally strong needs, which can be arranged in a hierarchy are the
following basic assumptions.
A satisfied need does not motivate. However, when one need is
satisfied, another need emerges to take it's place, so people are
always striving to satisfy some need.
lm The needs network most people is complex, with several needs
affecting the behavior of each person at any one time
™ In general, lower level needs must be satisfy before higher level
needs are activated sufficiently to drive behavior.
mt There are more ways to satisfy higher level than lower level needs
This theory states that a person has five primary types of needs:
physiological, security, affiliation, esteem, and self-actualization.
2.2.2. ERG Theory
Clay Alderfer agrees with Maslow that individuals have a hierarchy of
need. Instead of the five categories of needs suggested by Maslow,
however, Alderfer’s ERG theory holds that the individual has three sets of
basic needs: existence, relatedness, and growth. Alderfer describes them in
the following manner.
™ Existence needs, or material needs, are satisfied by food, air,
water, pay, fringe benefits, and working conditions.™ Relatedness needs are met by establishing and maintaining
interpersonal relationship with co-workers, superiors, subordinates,
friends, and family
™ Growth needs are expressed by an individual's attempt to find
opportunities for unique personal development by making creative
or productive contributions at work.
2.2.3. Achievement Motivation Theory
David McClelland proposed a theory of motivation that he believes is
rooted in culture. He stated that we all have three particularly important
needs: for achievement, affiliation, and power. When a need is strong in a
person, its effect will be to motivate that person to act to satisfy the need.
Individuals who process a strong power motive take action that affects the
actions of others and has a strong emotional impact on them. That is , these
individual are concerned with providing status rewards to their followers.
Individuals who have a strong affiliation motive tend to establish, maintain,
and restore close personal relationship with others. McClelland’s research
focused mainly on ways that mangers can developed subordinates’ desire to
achieve. Individuals who have a strong achievement motive exhibit long-term
involvement, competitions against some standart of excellence, and unique
accomplishment.2. Motivator-Hygiene Theory
The motivator-hygiene theory is one of the most controversial theories
of motivation because of two unique features. First, the theory stresses that
some job factors lead to satisfaction, whereas other may prevent
dissatisfaction but not be sources of satisfaction. Second, it states that job
satisfaction and dissatisfaction do not exist on a single continuum.
The first set of factors, motivator factors, includes the work itself,
recognition, advancement, and responsibility. These factor are associated
with an individual's positive feelings about the job and are related to the
content of the job itself.
The second sets of factors, hygiene factors, include company policy
and administration, technical supervision, salary, working conditions, and
interpersonal relations. These factors are associated with an individuals
negative feelings about the job and are related to the context or environment
in which the job is performed.
2.3. PROCESS THEORIES
Process theories try to describe and analyze how personal factors (
internal to the person ) interact to produce certain kinds of behavior. The
four best known process theories of motivation are expectancy,
reinforcement, equity, and goal- setting.2.3.1.Expectancy Theory
* Expectancy theory states that people are motivated to work when they
believe that they can get what they want from their jobs. Such results might
include satisfaction of safety needs, the excitement of doing a challenging
task, or the ability to set and achieve challenging goals. A basic premise of
‘expectancy theory is that employees are rational people who think about
what they have to do earn rewards-and how much the rewards mean to
them-before they perform their jabs.
2.3.2. Equity Theor
Equity theory focused on an individual’s feelings of how fairly he or
she is treated in comparison with others. The theory is based on two major
assumptions. The first is that individuals evaluate their interpersonal
relationship just as they would evaluate the buying or selling of a home ,
shares of stock, or a car. The theory views interpersonal relationship as
exchanges in which individuals make contributions and expect certain
results. They compare their situation which those of others to determine
equity in a situation. How people view an exchange is influenced by what
happens to them in comparison to what happens to the others involved
(such as Co-workers, relatives, and neighbors ) ( Hellriegel, 1995, pp:
170,172,174,179, 183, 187,188 ).In the late 1960s Edwin Locke proposed that intention to work toward
a goal are a major source of work motivation That is, goals tell an employee
what needs to be done and how much effort will need to be expended. The
evidence strongly supports the value of goals. More to the point, we can say
the specific goals increase performance; that difficult goals, when accepted,
result in higher performance than the easy goals; and that feedback leads to
higher performance than does nonfeedback
3.4. Reinforcement The
In reinforcement theory, we have a behavioristic approach, which are
reinforcement conditions behavior. The two are clearly at odds
philosophically. Reinforcement theorists see behavior as being
environmentally caused. You need not be concerned, they would argue, with
internal cognitive events; what controls behavior are reinforces-any
consequence that, when immediately following a response, increases the
probability that the behavior will be repeated.
Reinforcement theory ignores the inner state of individuals and
concentrates solely on what happens to a person when he or she takes
some action. Because it does not concern itself with what initiates behavior,
it is not, strictly speaking, a theory of motivation. But it does provide a
powerful means of analysis of what controls behavior, and it is for this
reason that it is typically considered in discussions of motivation ( Robbins,
1996, pp: 224,225,226 ).2.4, INFLUENCES ON JOB SATISFACTION
There are a number of factors that influence job satisfaction. The
major ones can be summarized by recalling the dimensions identified earlier:
pay the work itself, promotions, supervision, the work group, and working
conditions.
2.4.1.Pay.
Wages are a significant in job satisfaction. Money not only helps
people attain their basic needs but is instrumental in providing upper-level
need satisfaction. Employees often see pay as a reflection of how
management views their contribution to the organization. Fringe benefits are
also important, they are not as influential. One reason undoubtedly is that
most employees do not even know how much they are receiving in benefits.
Moreover, most tend to undervalue these benefits because they cannot see
their practical value. Chapters in the next part of the book will examine pay
as a reinforcer.
2. The Work Itself.
The content of the work itself is another major source of satisfaction.
For example, research related to the job characteristics approach to job
design shows that feedback from the job itself and autonomy are two of the
major job-related motivational factors. The survey reported in the Application
Example echoes these findings. Some of the most important ingredients of a
satisfying job uncovered by this survey included interesting and challengingwork, work that is not boring, and a job that provides status
2.
mot
Promotional opportunities seem to have a varying effect on job
satisfaction. This is because promotions take a number of different forms
and have a variety of accompanying rewards. For example, individuals who
are promoted on the basis of seniority often experience job satisfaction but
not as much as those who are promoted on the basis of performance.
Additionally, a promotion with a 10 percent salary raise is typically not as
satisfying as one with a 20 percent salary raise. This helps explain why
executive promotions may be more satisfying than promotions that occure at
the lower levels of organizations
2.4.4. Supervisions.
Supervisions is another moderately important source of job
satisfaction For now, however, it can be said that here seem to be two
dimensions of supervisory style that effect job satisfaction. One is employee-
centeredness. This is measured by the degree to which a supervisor takes a
personnel interest in the employee's warfare. It commonly manifested in
ways such as checking to see how well the subordinate is doing, providing
advice and assistance to the individual, and communicating with the worker
on a personal as well as an official level.The other dimensions is participation or influence, as illustrated by
managers who allow their people to participate in decisions that affect their
own jobs. In most cases this approach leads to higher job satisfactions.
2.4.5. Work Group.
The nature of the work group will have an effect on job satisfaction.
Friendly, co-operative co-workers are a modest source of job satisfaction to
individual employees. The work group serves as a source of support,
comfort, advice, and assistance to the individual worker. A ‘good’ work group
makes the job more enjoyable. However, this factor is not essential to job
satisfaction. On the other hand, if the reverse conditions exist —- the people
are difficult to get along with — this may have a negative effect on job
satisfaction. For example, many women have low job satisfaction because
they feel they are subject to male stereotyping that hinders their chances for
promotion. This stereotyping seems to exist even among well-educated
managers.
2. Working Conditions.
Working conditions are another factor that have a modest effect on
job satisfaction. If the .working conditions are good (clean, attractive
surroundings, for instance), the personnel will find it easier to carry out their
jobs. If the working conditions are poor (hot, noisy surroundings, for
example), personnel will find it more difficult to get things done. In other
words, the effect of working conditions on job satisfaction is similar to that ofthe work group. If things are good, there will not be a job satisfaction
problem; If things are poor, there will be.
Poulin (1995, p:1) examined on job satisfaction of 318 social work
supervisors and administrators. The findings indicated that supervisors and
administrators were well satisfied with their jobs. Administrators, however, had
significantly higher job satisfaction than supervisors. Regression analyses showed
that the organizational, job task, and personal predictors of supervisors and
administrators job satisfaction were different.
Itzhaky (1995, p:1) examined job satisfaction among non-professional
women workers in welfare service organizations. Non-professional women
workers were in a special position in this regard on two counts: first, they were
residents of the neighbourhoods in which they work; and, second, they generally
had no previous work experience. In this study, variables identified in earlier
research in the field were used in order to determine the effects of background
characteristics, crganizational factors, and role components on job satisfaction.
The results of the present study supported the view that role conflict and role
ambiguity exert a negative impact on job satisfaction.
Watson et.all. , (1996, p:567) investigated the relationship between job
satisfaction levels and the remuneration of non-owner managers employed by a
sample of 97 UK small and medium sized enterprises. The main empirical findings
were that relative remuneration levels appear to be largely explained by
differences in human capital and job/firm characteristics and that job satisfaction
was positively related to deviations from these estimated comparison-income
levels. Moreover, the equity theory expectation that individuals with the leastprospect of redressing payment inequities would have the greatest incentives to
respond to payment inequities by cognitive adjustment was also supported. The
results indicate that job satisfaction levels for individuals expecting to remain in
their current post were not significantly affected by current payment inequities. For
those managers who expect to move firms, the amount of payment inequity had a
significantly positive effect upon their job satisfaction.
Clarck (1996, p:189) studied of 5000 British employees to investigate the
relationship between three measures of job satisfaction and a wide range of
individual and job characteristics. Notably, men, workers in their thirties, the well-
educated, those working longer hours and workers in larger establishments had
lower levels of job satisfaction.
Molassiotis and Haberman (1996, p:360) examined incidence of burnout
syndrome, psychopathology, and job satisfaction in bone marrow transplant
nurses, in relation to existence of an informal psychosocial support programme for
staff needs. Forty nurses participated in the study completing four standardised
measures related to burnout, anxiety, depression, satisfaction with aspects of their
job, and social support. Results indicated that burnout among these nurses was
low, and high personal accomplishment from working with marrow transplant.
patients was the response of the majority. Job satisfaction was also found to be
high, with outpatient nurses scoring significantly higher than inpatient nurses in
most aspects of job satisfaction.
Koening and et. all. (1996, p:295) investigated the relationship between the
job turnover and job satisfaction of ARL university library directors relative to
faculty status. The findings were that there did, in fact, seem to be a positive
20relationship between job satisfaction and faculty status. The provision of staff
release time to pursue scholarly endeavors was correlated positively with the
directors’ reported job satisfaction, whereas "hollow faculty status," defined as
nominal faculty status but without the provision of release time, was correlated
negatively (both significant at the .05 level). Job tumover by itself was quite
unrelated to the issue of faculty status.
Griffin (1996, p:142) made an investigation on a sample of 200 adults with
mild mental retardation was assessed on overall job satisfaction and self-esteem
using the Vocational Program Evaluation Profile and the Coppersmith Self-esteem
Inventory. The subjects worked either in a sheltered workshop or in a supported
employment setting. Results indicated that there was a significant relationship
between self-esteem and job satisfaction for both groups of subjects. In addition,
subjects who worked in supported employment reported significantly higher levels
of job satisfaction. There was also an interaction between place of residence and
place of employment when looking at self-esteem; those who lived in a semi-
independent home and worked in supported employment employed reported the
highest levels of self-esteem.
Blackbranch (1996, p:247)) examined the extent to which teachers were
satisfied with their profession, while identifying the components and factors most
likely to induce satisfaction in the teaching workplace. Specifically, teachers in
secondary schools in a large urban board of education were surveyed on issues
regarding job satisfaction and their work situation. The strongest relationship
reported was between satisfaction and the consequences of teaching, the most
important factors specifically relating to federation/union, remuneration, and
acareer development. Conversely, teachers were most "dissatisfied" with student
and parent involvement in the educational process.
Knoop (1995, p:643) investigated the relationships among a cluster of
attitudes toward work and job using a sample of 171 nurses. The hypothesis was
that involvement in work and job, commitment to the employing organization, and
satisfaction with the job (overall, and with specific facets of the job) would be
significantly correlated. The results showed that involvement was not related to
overall satisfaction but only to two specific facets, satisfaction with work and
promotion opportunities. In contrast, the degree of relationship between overall
and various facets of satisfaction and commitment and between involvement and
commitment was moderately high.
Babin and Boles (1995, p:57) addressed key aspects of a retail employee's
work environment, or ‘climate,’ and how these perceptions influence work-related
outcomes. Specifically, a causal modeling approach tests relationships among
front-line service providers. Results suggested that employee perceptions of co-
worker involvement and supervisory support can reduce stress and increase job
satisfaction. Other results indicated a positive relationship between role conflict
and job performance, a positive relationship between job performance and job
satisfaction, and that job performance mediated effects of role stress on
satisfaction.
Hall (1995, p:121) compared men and women public defense attorneys
regarding work values, career orientations, perceptions of work, and correlates of
job satisfaction. The findings indicated that men and women defense lawyers
shared similar work values, career orientations, and perceptions of work. Both
2genders were relatively satisfied with their work because they valued the most
positive aspects of their jobs. However, perceptions of peer support and job
prestige correlated with the job satisfaction of men, while promotional
opportunities and workloads correlated with job satisfaction of women. These
differences were unrelated to marital status.
Burke (1996, p:1231) examined sources and levels of job satisfaction among
employees of a large professional services firm. Data were collected from 829
women and 766 men using anonymously completed questionnaires The sample
reported being only moderately satisfied. The men, mho were at significantly
higher organizational levels than the women, reported significantly greater job
satisfaction. When hierarchical level was controlled, these differences
disappeared. Women and men at higher organizational levels were more satisfied
than those at lower levels.
Leavitt (1996, p:333)focused on the unexpected relationship between high
pay and low job satisfaction in one public sector agency. The results of an
Employee Opinion Survey of agency employees were examined in light of the
agency's position as a community pay leader. The author concluded that high pay
would not alleviate problems of low employee job satisfaction. The use of career
anchors was suggested as a means to increase employee job satisfaction and to
maintain acceptable turnover levels even in the absence of high pay.
Leckie and Brett (1997, p:31) investigated the job satisfaction of Canadian
university librarians, using a replication of a 1993 American study to facilitate
intermational comparisons. A survey was sent to all university librarians in
Canada, resulting in 738 usable responses. Data analysis concentrated on
Bcomparisons between faculty» and non-faculty-status librarians, and
administrative and non-administrative librarians. Although faculty/academic-status
librarians were significantly more satisfied with their involvement in university
affairs and promotion and tenure processes, they were not more satisfied with
other dimensions of their work, such as workload and salary. Administrative
librarians, on the other hand, were significantly more satisfied with most of the
major aspects of work being measured, and perceived themselves to be much
more involved in library planning and university affairs than did non-administrative
librarians.
Morrison and et. all., (1997, p:27) explored the relation between leadership
style and empowerment and its effect on job satisfaction among the nursing staff
of a regional medical center
Results: Both transformational and transactional leadership were positively
related to job satisfaction, as was empowerment. Differences in the contributions
of empowerment and leadership style in predicting job satisfaction for licensed
and unlicensed workers was evident. Conclusion: Designing interventions that
allow for the relative influence of leadership style as well as empowerment on
varying classifications of nursing personnel may be a more effective strategy and
have a greater effect on staff attitudes and behaviors.
Scandura and Lankau (1997, p:377) examined relationships of gender,
family responsibility, and flexible work hours to organizational commitment and job
satisfaction among 160 matched male and female managers in a cross-
organizational study. Results revealed that women who perceived Their
organizations offered flexible work hours reported higher levels of organizationalcommitment and job satisfaction than women who did not. Also, flexible work
hours were related to higher organizational commitment and job satisfaction for
those having family responsibilities.
Mwamwenda (1997, p:521)examined teachers’ marital status and their job
satisfaction in Transkei secondary schools. The 58 married teachers experienced
more job satisfaction than the 63 unmarried teachers.
Lacy and Sheehan (1997, p:305) examined aspects of academics’
satisfaction with their job across the eight nations (Australia, Germany, Hong
Kong, Israel, Mexico, Sweden, UK, USA). Interesting patterns emerged across
countries reflecting differences in the international academic climate. The study
also explored patterns of job satisfaction and dissatisfaction more closely for the
Australian data, and examined the impact of context elements, including working
climate and atmosphere, on general levels of job satisfaction. Results indicated
that factors related to the environment in which academics work, inciuding
university atmosphere, morale, sense of community, and relationships with
colleagues, are the greatest predictors of job satisfaction.
Geyer and Daly (1998, p:417) examined the employee age/job satisfaction
Telationship in facility relocation settings. In a sample of 172 relocated workers,
one of two relocation consequences was found to be negatively associated with
job satisfaction.
Chiu (1998, p:521) analyzed the 326 lawyers in the 1990 National Survey of
lawyers’ Career Satisfaction. Of the women, 9% were minorities, and of the men,
3%. It is found that women have significantly lower job satisfaction. Women's
lower job satisfaction is due primarily to their lack of influence and promotional
28opportunity. The results support the assertion that professional women have the
same expectations as professional men, not lower; but because of inequality in
opportunity, the women have lower job satisfaction
Mwamwenda (1998, p:139)examined the extent to which years of reaching
experience may be related to self-reported job satisfaction in groups of men and
women, who had less than eight years of teaching secondary school or who had
more than eight years. 62 teachers with longer teaching experience (M age = 39.0
yr., SD = 3.9) rated their job satisfaction higher than those who had less
experience (M age = 37.4 yr., SD = 5.9). 53% of teachers rated security high and
35% as average, so most felt secure in their work.
Mason (1994, p:143) investigated the possible existence of gender
differences in job satisfaction. A sample of over 13.000 U.S employees from
approximately 130 organizations and divisions across a variety of industries were
tested. The results indicated that U.S women and men in management apparently
did not differ from one another in their source of satisfaction at work.
Schwab (1977, 212,218) investigated in sample of female (n=177) and male
(n=96) blue-collar operatives the relationship between age and employee
satisfaction with intrinsic and extrinsic outcomes. It was found that age was
consistently related to satisfaction with the work itself.
262.5. OUTCOMES OF JOB SATISFACTION
Productivit
Are satisfied workers more productive than their less-satisfied
counterparts? This “satisfaction-performance controversy” has raged over
the years. Although most people assume a positive relationship, the
preponderance of research evidence indicates that there is no strong linkage
between satisfaction and productivity Satisfied workers will not necessarily
be the highest producers. There are many possible mediating variables, the
most important of which seems to be rewards. If people receive rewards they
feel are equitable, they will be satisfied and this is likely to result in greater
performance effort. Also, there will is considerable debate whether
‘satisfaction leads to performance or performance leads to satisfaction.
2.5.2. Satisfaction and Turnover.
Does high employee job satisfaction result in low turnover? Unlike
that between satisfaction and productivity, research has uncovered a
moderate relationship between satisfaction and tumover. High job
satisfaction will not, in and of itself, keep turnover low, but it does seem to
help. On the other hand, if there is considerable job dissatisfaction, there is
likely to be high turnover. One group researchers found that for women
eighteen to twenty-five, satisfaction was an excellent predictor of whether or
not they changed jobs. On the other hand, as job tenure (length of time on
27the job) increased, there was less likelihood of their leaving. Tenure has also
been found to lessen the effects of dissatisfaction among male employees.
There are other factors, such as commitment to the organization , that
play a role in this relationship between satisfaction and turnover. Some
people cannot see themselves working anywhere else , so they remain
regardless of how dissatisfied theft feel. Another factor is the general
economy. When things in the economy are going well and there is little
unemployment, typically there will be an increase in turnover because
people will begin looking for better opportunities with other organization
Even if they are satisfied, many people are willing to leave if the
opportunities elsewhere promise to be better. On the other hand, if jobs are
tough to get, dissatisfied employees will stay where they are. On an overall
basis, however. It is accurate to say that job satisfaction is important in
employee turnover. Although absolutely no turnover is not necessarily
beneficial to the organization, a low turnover rate is usually desirable
because of training cost and the drawbacks of inexperience.
2.5.3. Satisfaction and Absenteeism.
Research has pretty well demonstrated an inverse relationship and
absenteeism. When satisfaction is high, absenteeism tends to be low, when
Satisfaction is low, absenteeism tends to be high. However, similar to the
other relationship with satisfaction, there are moderating variables such as
the degree to which people fell that their jobs are important. For example,
research among state government employees found that those who believed
that their work was important had lower absenteeism than did those who did
28not feel this way. Additionally, it is important to remember that while high job
satisfaction will not necessarily result in low absenteeism, low job
satisfaction is likely to bring about high absenteeism.
2. Other Effect Of Job Satisfactio!
In addition to the above, there are a number of other effects brought
about by high job satisfaction. Research reports that highly satisfied
employees tend to have better mental and physical health, learn new job-
related tasks more quickly, have fewer on-the-job accident, and file fewer
grievances. From an overall standpoint, then, most organizational behavior
researchers as well as practicing managers would argue that job satisfaction
is important to an organization. Some critics have argued, however, that this
is pure conjecture because there is so much we do not know about the
positive effects of satisfaction. On the other hand, when job satisfaction is
low, there seem to be negative effects on the organization that have been
documented. So if only from the standpoint of viewing job satisfaction as a
minimum requirement or point of departure, it is of value to the organization's
overall health and effectiveness and is deserving of study and application in
the field of organizational behavior ( Luthans, 1987. pp: 184-187 )

METHODOLOGY
3.1, METHOD OF THE STUDY
In this study, Questionnaire Survey Method was used for analysing
the job satisfaction level of personnel who were working at City Directorate
of Youth and Sports of Bolu, Kastamonu, Sakarya, and Zonguldak.
3.2, SELECTION OF THE SUBJECTS
The personnel who were working at City Directorate of Youth and
Sports of BOLU, KASTAMONU, SAKARYA and ZONGULDAK, were taken
part in this study. The number of the subjects who answered the
questionnaire at the City Directorate of Youth and Sports of Bolu,
Kastamonu, Sakarya, and Zonguldak were 24, 34, 17 and 30 respectfully.
The table 2 shows the frequency distribution of the subjects who were taken
part in this study.
3.3. COLLECTION OF THE DATA
The Job Satisfaction Scale (JSS), developed by Assoc. Prof. Dr.
Canan (Paknadel) Cetinkanat, was used as data collection tool and given to
the subjects who were on duty at the time the study was done. Researcher
visited the City Directors of Youth and Sports of Bolu, Kastamonu, Sakarya
and Zonguldak. During his visit he explained the purpose of this study and
requested their cooperation. Then, JSSs in enough numbers were given to
30the City Directors of Youth and Sports to have all of their personnel to fill-out
and retum them back to the researcher by mail as soon as possible.
Questionnaires were returned back in 10 days. Before evaluating the data,
the answered questionnaires were controlled and 105 out of 108 returned
questionnaires were used for this study.
3.4, INSTRUMENT
The JSS which was proved to be valid and reliable, consisted of three
parts. These were, personal information, perception, and expectation. First
part was composed of 7 items, second part 32, and third part 32 items. But in
fact, every part was evaluated in a different sense. This was done according
to the answers. For instance ,at the second part the answers were as ;
Absolutely agree (4 Pts), Agree (3 Pts), Do not agree (2 Pts), Absolutely do
not agree (1 Pts) .At the third part, the answers were as, Very important (4
Pts), important (3 Pts), not important (2 Pts), hasn't got any value (1 Pts). The
difference between expectation and perception determined job satisfaction.
the JSS which was developed by Canan (Paknadel) Cetinkanat (1995),
determined 6 dimensions of job satisfaction and their item numbers were
given at the table 1.

3.5. ANALYSIS OF THE DATA
The statistical analysis was accomplished by using statistical package
for the social science ( SPSS for Windows ).
The frequency distrubution was used to find out percentages of
groups in each city
32T- test was used to find out if there was a difference on job
satisfaction between two sexes.
One way ANOVA test was used to compare the differences among
the means of groups. And Tukey-B test was used to find out which groups
means were significantly different from each other.CHAPTER III

As seen at the table 3, there were no significant differences at the
dimensions of job satisfaction. But, the dimensions of job satisfaction
showed some differences. The female group had higher job satisfaction level
at the dimensions of Management Style, Work Group and Physical
Environment than the male group. Controversy, the male group had higher
job satisfaction level at the dimension of Work Opportunity, Development &
Promotion Opportunity and Pay & Personnel Opportunity than the female
group. But, differences between the means _of these dimensions were not
‘significant enough at 0.05 level.Table 4: Means Of Age Groups For The Dimensions Of Job Satisfaction

The table 4 shows the means of each age group at the dimensions of
job satisfaction. It is seen as an important point that the age group of 51-60
had higher job satisfaction level at the dimensions of Management Style (X
= .2500), Work Opportunity(¥ = .2500), Development & Promotion
Opportunity (X = .1000), Physical Environment (X = .2500) and Pay &
Personnel (X = .5000) than the other age groups. Especially, there was a
biggest difference between 20-30 and 50-60 group's means. Although there
wasn't a big difference at the dimension of Work Group, (X= 3506) the
age group of 20-30 had higher job satisfaction level than the other groups.

31CHAPTER IV
DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATION
4.1. DISCUSSION
In this study, significant difference was not found between the female
and male groups at all six dimensions of job satisfaction at the 0.05
significance level (see table 3). This might be due to the fact that two groups
work in the same condition and they have limited advancement opportunity
in their statues. Because, lately government employees in Turkey are
promoted only through their political connections. So, it result in no
competition at working environment between female and male personnel.
Chiu (1998, p:521) found that women Lawyers have significantly lower
job satisfaction due to their lack of influence and promotional opportunity. He
also stated that results support the assertion that professional women have
the same expectations as professional man, not lower; but because of
inequality in opportunity, the women have lower job satisfaction.
Mason (1994, p:143) indicated that U.S women and men in
management apparently did not differ from one another in their sources of
‘satisfaction at work.
There were signifiéant differences between the age group of 51-60
and the age group of 20-30 at the dimension of Work Opportunity and
Development & Promotion Opportunity at the 0.05 significance level (see
table 6) in which 51-60 age group had higher mean of job satisfaction in
both dimensions. It can be thought about this result that at the dimension of
work opportunity , the age group of 51-60 have higher job satisfaction since
32they are respected for their age and receive priority in many things at work
There was also significant difference at the dimension of Development &
Promotion Opportunity between the same age groups. It can be said that the
age group of 51-60 have less development & promotion expectation so for
being developed and promoted they do not feel any anxiety which is an
important factor lowering job satisfaction level.
Similarly, Schwab (1977, p:218 ) at his study of "Age and Satisfaction
with Dimensions of Work" concluded that age was consistently related to
satisfaction with the work itself.
Among salary groups, ( see table 8 ) this study showed that there
were no significant differences at the dimensions of job satisfaction. ( P>
0.05 ). It can be thought that generally government employees at all salary
groups have no good feelings about their salary in our country. Job
satisfaction level of personnel won't be high unless their needs are removed.
However, only pay is not sufficient to remove their all needs at work. Leavitt
(1996) concluded that high pay would not alleviate problems of low
employee job satisfaction.
Even though, there were no significant differences ( P> 0.05 ) among
education groups in their job satisfactions ( see table 10), university
educated group had lower level job satisfaction at Work Opportunity,
Development & Promotion Opportunity and Pay & Personnel dimensions.
This was a normal result, because, expectation of people is directly
correlated with their education level.
Clarck (1996, p189) at his study found that men, the well educated,
those working longer hours had lower levels of job satisfaction.
33In this study, There were significant differences ( P < 0.05) between
the mean of the working year group of 1-5 and the 6-10, 11-15, 16-20
working year groups at the dimension of Pay & Personnel ( see table 13). It
can be said that more working years and more experience bring workers
more expectations about pay. Because, with years they usually are given
more responsibility and end up working harder so, they may deserve much
more pays but their salaries don't increase enough. This causes lower
motivation and then lower job satisfaction among groups with higher year of
experience.
However, Mwamwenda ( 1998, p:139 ) found that teacher with longer
teaching experience have higher job satisfaction than those who had less
experience,
‘Among statue groups’ means of job satisfactions, there were no
significant differences ( P> 0.05 ) at all six dimensions ( see table 15).
Directors had higher job satisfaction at all dimensions except Work Group
due to the fact that at Turkish bureaucracy, directors do not establish
relationship on personal basis with their subordinates. Paulin (1995) in her
‘study found that even though they both were well satisfied with their jobs,
administrators had significantly higher job satisfactions than supervisors.
According to Leavitt (1996, p:333), the use of career anchors is a means to
increase employee job satisfaction and to maintain acceptable turnover
levels even in the absence of high pay.
Results shown at the table 18 proves that Kastamonu is the best city
for the employees because, they have highest job satisfaction level than the
other three cities. Mean of job satisfaction level of Kastamonu’s employees
34was significantly different ( P < 0.05 ) than the other three cities at the
dimensions of Work Opportunity, Development & Promotion Opportunity and
Physical Environment. According to the researcher's opinion, developed
during his visits to the cities for this study, city of Kastamonu had best
administrator building, had director with longest year of experience in this
organization and had most variety of recreational sport facilities available for
staff. These may have been the cause of these results.Table 19: Job SatisfactionScores of Groups in All Dimensions

56The table 19 shows the general view about job satisfaction level of
personnel who are working at the CDYSs of Bolu, Kastamonu, Sakarya and
Zonguldak. According to the means of the each dimensions of job
satisfaction, it can be said that Pay & Personnel Opportunity is the main
source of job dissatisfaction of personnel. But, the salary group of 51-70, 71-
90, working year group of 1-5 and status group of director have high job
satisfaction at the dimension Work Opportunity. The causes of this result
could be because of priority of their expectations. The salary group of 51-70
and 71-90 generally are at the status group of ordinary employees and they
have low desires to move up in status of work. The big part of the CDYSs
personnel is consisted of these groups so they have to share limited
opportunity of CDYSs ail together. Therefore, this group feel high job
satisfaction at the dimension of Work Opportunity,
‘The working year group of 1-5 had-also high job dissatisfaction at the
dimension of Work Opportunity. It can be thought that inexperienced or new
personnel expect better work opportunity from their job (For Example; a
room, a computer, equipment) because of their enthusiasm of first years at
work. But CDYSs have not enough opportunity meet their needs so they feel
job dissatisfaction at the dimension of Work Opportunity.
Directors had high job dissatisfaction at the dimension of Work
Opportunity as well as Pay & Personnel Opportunity. This may be due to the
bureaucratic barriers they face to put into action of their thoughts.
37When this table generally evaluated, the dimension of Work Group is
the major source of job satisfaction of the CDYSs personnel. But, the age
group of 31-40 and 51-60 had high job satisfaction at the dimension of
Development & Promotion Opportunity. It can be said that the age group 31-
40 is consisted of dynamic and experienced personnel. This group have
more chance to be developed and promoted than other age groups: The age
group of 51-60 is older personnel and they think of their retirement so they
don't have any expectation about Development & Promotion Opportunity so,
having not any anxiety, can be the reason for feeling high job satisfaction at
that dimension.
Although the salary group of 71-90 had high job satisfaction at the
dimension of Development & Promotion Opportunity, the salary group of
110-up had high job satisfaction at the dimension of Physicat Environment.
This result can be possible, because the salary group of 71-90 consist of
‘experienced, educated and young personnel so they can: hope to’ being
developed and promoted. The salary group of 110-up consist of personnel
with high status and hight education level. Therefore, they carr have good
physical environment in their working condition.
However the education groups of Elementary School, High School
and University had high job satisfaction at the dimension of Work Group,
the group of Secondary Schoo! had high job satisfaction at the dimension of
Management Style. It can be said that this group think of theirself not to have
cognitive capacity to evaluate the management style so, they can feel yery
38relax about this dimension. This can be reason that they had high job
satisfaction of the education group of Secondary School at the dimension of
Management Style.
The working year group 1-5 at the dimension of Management Style
and the working year group 11-15 at the dimension of Development &
Promotion Opportunity had high job satisfaction than the other dimensions. It
can be thought that the working year group of 1-5 had less expectation about
management style because of their inexperienced situation so they can have
high job satisfaction at that dimension. The working year group 11-15 can
gain experiences through the years and have chance to being developed
and promoted. Because of this reason they had high job satisfaction at that
dimension.
‘Among the statue groups Directors, Facility Managers and Guards
had high job satisfaction at the dimension of Development & Promotion
Opportunity than the other dimensions. It cart be said that Directors and
Facility Managers can be pleasant for their statues and they can not have
any expectations for being developed and promoted so they car have high
job satisfaction at that dimension.
That reason also car be valid for status group of Guards. Because,
they don’t have more chance to developed and promoted at the CDYSs. This.
fact can create a reason for being relaxed at that dimension so they can
have high job satisfaction at that dimension.
Although the personnel of Bolu, Kastamonu and Sakarya had high job
satisfaction at the dimension of Work Group, the personnel of Zonguldak
had high job satisfaction at the dimension of Management Style and
59Development & Promotion Opportunity. The causes of this reason could be
because of the personality of the Director who is ar academician: Director
can have good relationship between personnel so the personnel can have
no problem about management style of their Director and-feel that they have
chance to be developed and promoted.
4.2, RECOMMENDATION
Several recommendation could be made with regard to further study.
These recommendations are as follows.
1-In the future studies more City Directorates of Youth and Sports
should be participated so the accuration of the results may be
increased.
2- The purpose of the study should:be explained to whole personnel
at a meeting so their response to the questions may be more valid
and reliable.
3- The other factors such as management styte could be considered
at similar study.REFERENCES
