Abstract:

It is said that role uncertainty causes employees to negative job attitudes and behaviors by increasing stress. When studies on the impact of role uncertainty in the national and international field, especially on job satisfaction, are examined, there is not always a negative effect. The purpose of this study is to test the relationship between role uncertainty and job satisfaction, by moving from the different results on job satisfaction, by controlling the common method variance (OYV) problem. For this purpose, the data of the variables was collected in a total of three weeks from 227 participants working in the public, through temporary division and special coding, between a week and a week. After the OYV problem was checked, the hypotheses of the study were tested by making correlation and regression analyses. Research conducted in a large-scale public institution found that role uncertainty had a significant positive impact on job satisfaction and a significant negative impact on the intention to leave the job. Research findings have been discussed within the framework of social compensation and social relief theories.
