Organisational Culture and Job Satisfaction among Academic Professionals at a Language School

Davut Uysal, Anadolu University (Turkey)

Abstract

Turkish higher education system has experienced some structural changes in recent decades, which resulted in concentration on English language teaching as a foreign language at universities in Turkey.  However, the number of studies examining the relationship between organizational culture and job satisfaction among academic professionals at higher education institutions is very limited in the country. The main objective of this study was to determine the perceptions of English language instructors regarding organizational culture and its impact on their job satisfaction at School of Foreign Language-Anadolu University in Turkey. The findings of the study revealed that the respondents of the study had positive perceptions regarding current organizational culture indicating satisfaction with co-worker relations and administration, supervision support and the work itself, as well as moderate satisfaction with the available professional development opportunities. A significant correlation between overall organizational culture and job satisfaction was found in the study.
