Abstract:

In this study, Mersin University is trying to identify the relationship between the status of loneliness and the level of job satisfaction of the administrative staff. The study’s work group consists of 279 participants in the general management services class. Participants’ opinions on loneliness in the work life, "The scale of loneliness in the work life" and their opinions on job satisfaction were determined by "Minnesota Business Doyum Scale". T-tests and variance analysis techniques have been used in the analysis of the participants’ work satisfaction and working life loneliness scores, based on independent variables. The relationship between the participants' job satisfaction and loneliness points in the work life was determined by the correlation analysis technique. Again, the regression analysis technique has been used to determine the level of employment satisfaction of participants’ loneliness points. According to the research results, there is a reverse relationship between participants’ loneliness levels and job satisfaction. Men participants and employees with over 20 years of employment experience have a higher level of employment satisfaction. The highest levels of employment, according to their astes, the married, the single, are higher than the level of job satisfaction. According to the leaders of the astes, emotional absence and loneliness in the work life are more. Solitary workers, compared to married workers, have higher levels of loneliness. There is a negative relationship between employment satisfaction and loneliness levels of participants. Again, the levels of loneliness of the participants are a meaningful promoter of their levels of work-satisfaction.
