Abstract

In this research, it is aimed to determine the level that the organizational cultures of the employees working in sport facilities are explained by their job satisfaction and demographic characteristics. 162 employees participated in the research carried out in the relational screening model. The data of the study was collected through "Organizational Culture Scale" and "Job Satisfaction Scale". Hierarchical regression analysis was performed in the analysis of the data. As a result of the analysis, the innovative, bureaucratic and community cultures of the employees were determined to be meaningfully predicted only by job satisfaction. Besides, while the competitor cultures of the employees were significantly explained by job satisfaction, seniority, marital status and gender variables; their organizational cultures were found to be significantly explained by job satisfaction, seniority and marital status variables.

Summary

Introduction

From the 1930s, when neoclassical management began to settle, until now, it has been deemed worthwhile in management sciences to examine emotional states and organizational behavior of employees as well as their performances and skills. Organizational culture, which is defined as a set of collective norms that combine values, beliefs, and basic assumptions shared by members of the organization, is a research area related to multiple sciences. For this reason, it is expressed in different definitions (Gun and Derin, 2017). Norms and forms of behavior increase the commitment and behavioral consistency of employees (Ozdevecioğlu, 1994) Organizational culture with these variables can have an impact on individuals, on the perceptions of organizational power and job satisfaction which are the main variables that influence individual perceptions and their behaviors within the organization (Clegg et al, 2006). In this research, it was aimed to determine the extent to which the work carried out in publicly owned sports facilities in Ankara is explained by the job satisfaction and demographic characteristics of organizational culture
