Özet:

What is the meaning of life?” The question is undoubtedly the oldest question in human history. A natural meaning hunter is also seeking meaning in his work with his nature. Research shows that people who find meaning in their lives and work also live their well-being long and deep. This study sought to identify the relationship between the levels of meaning in their professions and the meaning in their lives of teachers who are one of the stressful occupational groups. Does a teacher who sees his life meaningful see his profession meaningful? Or, if we think exactly the opposite, "Do a teacher who captures meaning in his profession find his life meaningful?" Questions were the starting point of our research. This work is done with a general and relative scanning model. The universe of research is formed by teachers who work in primary, secondary and secondary schools located in Hadımköy Beld. The research has been followed by the method of survey data collection. The scale was developed by Steger, Frazier, Oishi and Kaler (2006) to measure the life goals of teachers. To measure the level of meaning of teachers' work, the "Business Meaning Reserve" was developed by Steger, Dik and Duffy (2012) to be used. Following the correlation and regression analysis, the teachers found that there was a meaningful relationship in a positive direction between the perceptions of the "sensity in life" and the "sensity of work" which is the subdimensional dimension of the variable, the meaning of life. In the same way, a positive and meaningful relationship has been established between the teachers’ perceptions of “the meaning of work” and the perceptions of “the meaning of life”. However, no connection has been established between the teachers’ perception of “sensity in life” and the perception of “sensity of work” which is the subdimensional dimension of the “sensity of life” variable.
