This study investigates whether job satisfaction, organizational commitment and turnover intention levels of four-year university graduates and two-year police vocational school graduates are different from each other. A sample of 394 police officers working in seven provinces of seven different geographical regions in Turkey was analyzed. The results of t test and correlation analysis obtained indicated that the university degree holders indicated a lower level of organizational commitment and higher level of turnover intention than their non-degree holder colleagues. It was found that there is no statistically significant difference between job satisfaction levels of two groups. Career opportunities increased job satisfaction and organizational commitment while tenure reduced turnover intention. The findings of the study illustrate a need for internal policy reform in how the executives of TNP organize their employment and human resource management policies Based on the study results, recommendations were made on human resources management policies.
Özet
Bu araştırmada dört yıllık üniversite eğitimi almış polis memurları (POMEM) ile iki yıllık polis meslek yüksekokulu mezunu polis memurlarının (PMYO) iş tatmini, örgütsel bağlılık ve işten ayrılma niyeti düzeylerinin farklılık gösterip göstermediği araştırılmıştır. Türkiye’nin yedi coğrafi bölgesinde yer alan yedi ildeki POMEM ve PMYO mezunlarından alınan 394 kişilik örneklem üzerinde çalışma yapılmıştır. Elde edilen verilerin t testi ve korelasyon analizleri sonucunda, üniversite mezunu polis memurlarının, üniversite mezunu olmayan meslektaşlarına göre daha düşük seviyede örgütsel bağlılık gösterdikleri ve daha yüksek seviyede işten ayrılma eğilimi gösterdikleri bulunmuştur. İş tatmini açısından iki grup arasında istatistiki olarak anlamlı bir fark bulunmamıştır. Meslekte ilerleme imkânlarının iş tatmini ve örgütsel bağlılığı arttığı, POMEM mezunları için meslekte geçen sürenin artması ile örgüte olan bağlılığın azaldığı tespit edilmiştir. Araştırma sonuçları insan kaynakları yönetimi ve işa alma politikaları ile ilgili politika reformu ihtiyacını ortaya koymuştur. Araştırma sonuçları doğrultusunda, insan kaynakları yönetim politikalarına dair önerilerde bulunulmuştur.
