Abstract:

The aim of this study is to investigate job satisfaction levels of employees working in aviation maintenance centers, and to examine the relationship between job satisfaction and its nine sub-dimensions and to analyze the effects of demographic factors on these variables. In this context, a questionnaire was applied to those working in the aviation maintenance centers in Ankara. As a result of the research, it is determined that people working in these maintenance centers are satisfied with their jobs in general. It is found that the satisfaction levels of employees especially about wages, rewards and their friends are above the average. On the other hand, it is also determined that differences in demographic variables such as gender, marital status, education level, total working time (hours) and job title have significant impacts on employee satisfaction. In particular, it is ascertained that the perception of the male and female employees by gender is different in terms of communication and career-promotion which are sub-dimensions of job satisfaction. In addition, it is also understood that according to the marital status of employees (being married or single), their perceptions about some sub-dimensions of job satisfaction (which are communication, social rights and career-promotion) differ.
