Özet
Objective: In this paper, we aimed to investigate the job satisfaction levels of all the academic staff in Trakya University, along with their socioeconomic features. Material and Methods: We used a questionnaire including the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire Short Form. Frequency tables, cross tabulations, Pearson Chi-square, Exact Chi-square, Kruskal-Wallis, Dunn's Multiple Comparison and Chi-squared Automatic Interaction Detector (CHAID) tests were used for statistical analysis. Results: The mean age of 560 participants was 33.86 +/- 7.33 years, of whom 47% (n=263) were female and 53% (n=297) male. Of the participants, the mean levels were 63.06 +/- 10.96 for general, 44.79 +/- 7.49 for intrinsic, and 18.27 +/- 4.64 for extrinsic job satisfaction. 85.4% of the academic staff (n=478) had a moderate level of satisfaction, whereas 14.6% (n=82) had a higher level. There was a significant relationship between income and job satisfaction levels. With the CHAID analysis, it was determined that job satisfaction had a relationship with age, educational status, total years of service and years of service in the current department. Conclusion: Job satisfaction can reflect the general emotional status of employees. It has a greater importance for the jobs that can affect the extraoccupational lives directly and require constant devotion. Employers should take some measures to increase job satisfaction in order to improve efficiency.
