 İtfaiye çalışanları, acil durumlarla mücadele etme, hayatları kurtarma ve toplumun güvenliğini sağlama gibi zorlu ve stresli bir iş yapmaktadır. Bu nedenle, iş doyumu ve tükenmişlik düzeyleri, çalışanların refahı ve performansı üzerinde önemli etkilere sahip olabilir. Araştırmanın amacı, itfaiye çalışanlarının iş doyumu ve tükenmişlik düzeylerini belirlemektir. Bu çalışma, itfaiye çalışanları arasında iş doyumu ve tükenmişlik ile ilgili temel kavramlara genel bir bakış sunmakta ve bu alanda araştırma yapılmasının önemini vurgulamaktadır. Araştırma, Türkiye genelinde çeşitli itfaiye teşkilatlarında görev yapan itfaiye çalışanları üzerinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırma itfaiyecilerin iş doyumu ve tükenmişlik düzeylerine dair bölgesel karşılaştırmalarıda içermektedir. Araştırma yöntemi nicel yöntemdir. Veri toplama sürecinde nicel yöntemin anket tekniği kullanılmış ve ankette maslach tükenmişlik ölçeği ve Minnesota iş doyumu ölçeği çalışmaya uyarlanmıştır. Gerçekleştirilen analizler sonucunda; itfaiyecilerde tükenmişliğin iş doyumu üzerinde anlamlı bir etkiye sahip olduğu bulgulanmıştır. Ayrıca gerçekleştirilen fark testleri sonucunda tükenmişliğin; cinsiyete, medeni duruma, yaşa, eğitim durumuna ve çalışma bölgelerine göre anlamlı farkının bulunmadığı ama mesleki kıdeme göre anlamlı farkının bulunduğu ortaya koyulmuştur. İş doyumununsa; cinsiyete, medeni duruma ve mesleki kıdeme göre anlamlı farklılık gösterdiği bulgulanmıştır. Araştırma sonuçları, itfaiye teşkilatlarının çalışanların iş doyumunu artırmak ve tükenmişlik düzeylerini azaltmak için önlemler alması gerektiğini göstermekte olup, çalışma koşullarını iyileştirmek için temel bir adım olabilecektir.
