    Βιβλιογραφία: σ. 73-94Ο σκοπός της παρούσας έρευνας, ήταν α) να εξετάσει το επίπεδο της επαγγελματικής ικανοποίησης και της εργασιακής δέσμευσης που βιώνουν εκπαιδευτικοί και β) η μελέτη πιθανών διαφοροποιήσεων και σχέσεων ως προς την αντιλαμβανόμενη επαγγελματική ικανοποίηση και εργασιακή δέσμευση, αναφορικά με το φύλο, την οικογενειακή κατάσταση, τη σχέση εργασίας και τη βαθμίδα εκπαίδευσης. Στην έρευνα συμμετείχαν συνολικά 135 εκπαιδευτικοί νησιωτικής περιοχής, από τους οποίους οι 49 ήταν άνδρες και οι 86 γυναίκες (Μ.Ο. ηλικίας 41.21 έτη, Τ.Α. ± 8.09 έτη). Για την διερεύνηση της επαγγελματικής ικανοποίησης, χρησιμοποιήθηκε το ερωτηματολόγιο «Employee Satisfaction Inventory» (Ερωτηματολόγιο Καταγραφής της Επαγγελματικής Ικανοποίησης) (Koustelios, 1991; Koustelios & Bagiatis, 1997). Για την διερεύνηση της εργασιακής δέσμευσης των εκπαιδευτικών, χρησιμοποιήθηκε το ερωτηματολόγιο UWES (Utrecht Work Engagement Scale) (Schaufeli & Bakker, 2003). Από τα αποτελέσματα της έρευνας φάνηκε, ότι οι εκπαιδευτικοί βιώνουν σχετικά υψηλά επίπεδα εργασιακής δέσμευσης και είναι μέτρια ικανοποιημένοι από την εργασία τους. Βρέθηκε ακόμα, ότι το φύλο, η οικογενειακή κατάσταση, η σχέση εργασίας και η βαθμίδα εκπαίδευσης, επηρεάζουν τόσο τα επίπεδα της εργασιακής δέσμευσης όσο και εκείνα της επαγγελματικής ικανοποίησης.The purpose of the present study was a) to examine the level of job satisfaction and work commitment experienced by teachers’ and b) the study of possible variations and relationships in terms of perceived job satisfaction and work commitment, regarding gender, marital status, employment relationship and the level of education. The survey involved a total of 135 teachers, of whom 49 were men and 86 women (mean age 41.21 years, SD ± 8.09 years). In order to measure job satisfaction the «Employee Satisfaction Inventory, ESI» was used (Koustelios, 1991; Koustelios & Bagiatis, 1997), while for the evaluation of teachers’ commitment, the UWES was used (Utrecht Work Engagement Scale) (Schaufeli & Bakker, 2003). Results showed that teachers are experiencing relatively high levels of work engagement and is moderately satisfied with their work. It was found also that gender, marital status, employment relationship and the level of education, affect both the levels of employment commitment as those of job satisfaction.98 σ

    AbstractThe aim of the present study is to measure the levels of job satisfaction, role conflict and autonomy of employees in the Greek Banking Organization. In addition, the investigation of the relation between role conflict and the dimensions of job satisfaction is being attempted and the regulatory impact of autonomy in the aforementioned relationship is being analyzed. For the measurement of job satisfaction in the present study, the Employee Satisfaction Inventory - ESI (Koustelios, 1991; Koustelios & Bagiatis, 1997) was used. The inventory was created using Greek employees as a sample. It included 24 items which measure six dimensions of job satisfaction: 1. Working conditions, 2. Salary, 3. Promotions, 4. Work itself, 5. Immediate superior and 6. The organization as a whole For the measurement of role conflict, the Role Questionnaire (Rizzo, House, & Lirtzman, 1970) was used. The scale consisted of eight items. Finally, for the measurement of employees’ autonomy a scale developed by Beehr (1976) was used. The scale consisted of four items. The results of the study confirmed previous findings, according to which role conflict is negatively correlated with job satisfaction. In addition, autonomy has a moderating role in the relation between role conflict and job satisfaction. Research findings like these should be taken into serious consideration by superiors and managers, so that job satisfaction among Greek bank employees is increased and promoted, leading to higher productivity and general well-being

    AbstractThe purpose of this study is to investigate the relation between organizational culture and job satisfaction. In particular, the research hypothesis is that the type of organization culture in a specific institution is able to predict the levels of job satisfaction among employees. For the measurement of job satisfaction in the present study, the Employee Satisfaction Inventory - ESI (Koustelios, 1991; Koustelios & Bagiatis, 1997) was used. The inventory was created using Greek employees as a sample. It included 24 items, which measure six dimensions of job satisfaction. The assessment of organizational culture was performed with the Organizational Culture Assessment Instrument (OCAI) developed by Cameron and Quinn (2006). It included six questions (Dominant Characteristics, Organizational Leadership, Management of Employees, Organizational Glue, Strategic Emphases, Criteria of Success). Each question had four alternatives (A=Clan, B=Adhocracy, C=Market, D=Hierarchy). According to the results, there is a significant difference between all aspects of current and preferred organizational culture types among employees of Greek banking institutions. The majority of employees would prefer to work in a more friendly environment, where mutual trust and informal relationships among colleagues are dominant, personal ambitions are taken into consideration and teamwork is rewarded. Moreover, the present study showed that organizational culture can partially predict the levels of employees’ job satisfaction. In particular, the adhocracy and the market type are more likely to make employees dissatisfied with their salary, while the opposite happens with the hierarchy type. Nevertheless, further investigation is needed, so that Greek bank employees’ job satisfaction is being well studied and promoted

    ABSTRACT The present investigation aims to study the feelings of job satisfaction and job burnout experienced by bank employees in Greece in correlation. The method which was preferred in the frame of the study was the quantitative research method. The tool which was used for the measurement of job satisfaction was the Employee Satisfaction Inventory, ESI, created by Koustelios, 1991. It included 24 questions, which measure six dimensions of job satisfaction: 1. Working conditions (5 questions), 2. Earnings (4 questions), 3. Promotions (3 questions), 4. Nature of work (4 questions), 5. Immediate superior (4 questions) and 6. The institution as a whole (4 questions) (total Chronbach's α = 0.75). The responses were given in a five-level Likert scale: 1 = I strongly disagree, 5 = I strongly agree. The tool which was used for the measurement of job burnout was the Maslach Burnout Inventory, MBI, created by Maslach and Jackson, 1986. The inventory included 22 questions measuring the three variables of job burnout: 1. Emotional Exhaustion (9 questions), 2. Depersonalization (5 questions), 3. Lack of personal accomplishment (8 questions) (total Chronbach's α = 0.70). The answers were given in a seven-level Likert scale: 0 = Never, 1 = A few times per year or less, 2 = Once per month or less, 3 = A few times per month, 4 = Once a week, 5 = A few times per week, 6 = Every day. High level of burnout occurs when we have high values on the scales of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization and low values in the range of personal accomplishment. Low job burnout occurs when we have low values on the scales of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization and high values in the range of personal accomplishment. The sample of the present study consisted of 230 employees of Greek banks and credit institutions. The results of the study showed that the feelings of job satisfaction and job burnout experienced by Greek bank employees occur in quite high levels. Furthermore, there is quite a strong negative correlation between the two variables. However, further investigation should be carried out in the Greek population, so that the phenomena of job satisfaction and job burnout are well studied and promoted

    The purpose of this study was to examine the burnout experienced by a sample of Greek teachers and to explore the extent to which certain organizational factors predict teachers' scores on the Maslach Burnout Inventory. The sample consisted of 100 teachers, 28 to 59 years of age. Greek teachers' means were lower than those for burnout of U.S. teachers. Stepwise regression analysis identified satisfaction with the job itself was the only significant predictor for Depersonalization and Emotional Exhaustion subscales, while satisfaction with the job itself and satisfaction with promotion were significant predictors for the Personal Accomplishment subscale. These findings showed that stress, e.g., role conflict and role ambiguity, were not highly correlated with teachers' burnout
