Abstract:

 The aim of this study is to reveal whether job satisfaction has a mediating role in the effect of mental workload on career satisfaction of academicians working at foundation universities. The universe of this study, in which the quantitative research method was used, consists of academicians working at foundation universities. While selecting the sample from the universe, convenience sampling method was preferred among non-probability sampling methods. Survey technique was used as the data collection method. Data collection tools consist of scales whose validity and reliability have been tested in the literature. In this direction, the data obtained from 127 academicians were analyzed using R Studio statistical software. Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling PLS-SEM was used in the study. Cronbachs Alpha, rhoA, AVE and rhoC values confirm the high reliability level of the model and its solid structure. The obtained R² coefficient of determination values show that the intrinsicextrinsic job satisfaction and career satisfaction variables have a moderate level of explainability. According to the findings obtained from the research, it was concluded that emotional workload, one of the sub-dimensions of mental workload, negatively affects career satisfaction through job satisfaction.

 Bu araştırmanın amacı vakıf üniversitelerinde çalışan akademisyenlerin zihinsel iş yükünün kariyer tatminine etkisinde iş doyumunun aracılık rolü olup olmadığını ortaya koymaktır. Nicel araştırma yönteminin kullanıldığı bu araştırmanın evrenini vakıf üniversitelerinde çalışan akademisyenler oluşturmaktadır. Evrenden örneklem seçimi gerçekleştirirken olasılık dışı örnekleme yöntemlerinden kolayda örnekleme yöntemi tercih edilmiştir. Veri toplama yöntemi olarak anket tekniği kullanılmıştır. Veri toplama araçları alan yazında geçerlilik ve güvenilirliği test edilmiş ölçeklerden oluşmaktadır. Bu doğrultuda 127 akademisyenden elde edilen veriler R Studio istatistik yazılımı kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmada Kısmi En Küçük Kareler-Yapısal Eşitlik Modellemesi KEKK-YEM kullanılmıştır. Cronbachs Alpha, rhoA, AVE ve rhoC değerleri modelin yüksek güvenilirlik seviyesini ve sağlam bir yapı taşıdığını doğrulamaktadır. Elde edilen R² determinasyon katsayısı değerleri, içseldışsal iş doyumu ve kariyer tatmini değişkenlerinin orta düzeyde açıklanabilirliğe sahip olduğunu göstermektedir. Araştırmadan elde edilen bulgulara göre zihinsel iş yükü alt boyutlarından duygusal iş yükünün iş doyumu aracılığıyla kariyer tatminini negatif yönde etkilediği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
