Abstract:

This study aims to reveal the direction and strength of the relationship between perceived excellence and work satisfaction and how optimism plays a role in this relationship. The investigation was carried out on a sample of 124 people from the Turkish Armed Forces (TSK) and the General Command of the Jandarma (J.Gen.K.lığı) who were early retired or resigned as officers. The data used in the research was collected using the method of sample paper, using the survey technique applied in the electronic environment. According to the results of the research, the detected subdimensional development of the detected overquality has been found to have a negative impact on the subdimensional internal factors of work satisfaction. Furthermore, it has been found that the perceived overquality has a partial mediation role in the relationship between the lower dimensions of the perceived development and the lower dimensions of work satisfaction with internal factors. However, it has been found that the detected overquality of the detected incompatibility subdimensional has no effect on the dimensions of work satisfaction.
