Özet:

 The aim of this research was to analyze teachers job satisfaction and motivation in terms of different variables. The study employed a survey model. The sample group of the research consisted of 381 teachers, expert teachers, and head teachers selected through the simple random sampling method, one of the random sampling methods, from public schools in the Beşiktaş, Kağıthane, and Ümraniye districts of Istanbul during the academic year of 2023-2024. Data were collected through Job Satisfaction Scale developed by Şahin 1999, Teacher Motivation Scale developed by Karabağ-Köse et al. 2021. Collected data were analysed through unpaired t-Test, One-Way ANOVA and non-parametric Kruskal Wallis-H analysis. The results revealed that the general job satisfaction level of the teachers, the expert teachers and the head teachers were medium. It was found out that there was no statistically significant difference in the overall job satisfaction scores regarding gender, educational background, years of seniority, district of employment and title variables. However, statistically significant differences were observed in overall job satisfaction scores regardin age variable. The results also revealed that the general motivation level of the teachers, the expert teachers and the head teachers were medium. It was also found out that there was no statistically significant difference in the overall motivation scores according to the gender, educational background, age, years of seniority, district of employment and title variables in the demographic information of the three teacher groups. Based on these findings, it is recommended that policymakers and practitioners improve the physical and psychosocial conditions in the work environment to enhance teachers job satisfaction and motivation.

 Bu araştırmanın amacı, öğretmenlerin iş doyumu ve motivasyonlarının farklı değişkenler açısından incelemektir. Araştırmada nicel araştırma yaklaşımlarından birisi olan tarama modeli uygulanmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemini 2023-2024 eğitim-öğretim yılında İstanbul ili Beşiktaş, Kağıthane ve Ümraniye ilçelerinde bulunan resmi okullardan tesadüfi örnekleme yöntemlerinden basit tesadüfi örnekleme yöntemi ile belirlenmiş 381 öğretmen, uzman öğretmen ve başöğretmen oluşturmaktadır. Veriler, kişisel bilgi formu ve Şahin 1999 tarafından oluşturulan İş Doyum Ölçeği, Karabağ-Köse ve diğerleri 2021 tarafından geliştirilen Öğretmen Mesleki Motivasyon Ölçeği ile elde edilmiştir. Toplanan veriler bağımsız örneklem t-Test, One-Way ANOVA ve non-parametrik Kruskal Wallis-H analizi ile analiz edilmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre uzman öğretmen, başöğretmen ve öğretmenlerin genel iş doyumlarının ve genel motivasyonlarının orta düzeyde olduğu bulunmuştur. Üç öğretmen grubunun demografik bilgileri içerisinde yer alan cinsiyet, öğrenim durumu, kıdem yılı, görev yapılan ilçe ve ünvan değişkenlerine göre iş doyum toplam puanlarında istatistiksel anlamda farklılık bulunmazken; yaş değişkenine göre ise iş doyum toplam puanlarında istatistiksel anlamda farklılık olduğu görülmüştür. Yine üç öğretmen grubunun demografik bilgileri içersinde yer alan cinsiyet, öğrenim durumu, yaş, kıdem yılı, görev yapılan ilçe ve ünvan değişkenlerine göre öğretmen mesleki motivasyonu toplam puanlarında istatistiksel anlamda bir farklılık görülmemiştir. Araştırmanın sonuçlarından hareketle politika yapıcılara ve uygulayıcılara çalışma ortamlarında fiziksel ve psikososyal koşulların iyileştirilerek öğretmenlerin iş doyum ve motivasyonlarının yükseltilmesi önerilmiştir.
