Publication Validity and reliability study of the violence prevention climate scale(İstanbul Üniversitesi, 2020-01-01) Dursun, Salih; Başol, Oğuz; Aytaç, Serpil; AYTAÇ, SEVİNÇ SERPİL; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/İktisat İdare Bilimler Fakültesi/Çalışma Ekonomi ve Endüstri İlişkileri Bölümü; 0000-0001-6659-4639; I-7814-2019Exposure to workplace violence increases employees' levels of stress, depression, anxiety and burnout and decreases the productivity of the organization. The violence prevention climate refers to the perceptions of employees about organizational policies, procedures and practices relevant to eliminating and controlling violence or aggression in the workplace. The violence prevention climate is an important concept both in the emergence of different types of violence in the workplace and its effects on employees. Therefore, it is important to measure the violence prevention climate. In this context, this research aims to adapt the Violence Prevention Climate Scale, developed by Kessler et. al., into the Turkish language. According to the results of the research conducted with the participation of 279 private-sector employees, the total explained variance was determined as 72.45%. According to the confirmatory factor analysis results, the scale consists of 18 items and 3 factors as in the original (Chi-square/df: 3.78; RMSEA: 0.073; NFI: 0.95; NNFI: 0.96; CFI: 0.96; GFI: 0.90 and AGFI: 0.85). The internal consistency of the scale was calculated as 0.924 and item-total correlations ranged between 0.375 and 0.752. As a result, it was concluded that the violence prevention climate scale is valid and reliable for Turkish society.Publication Perceived safety culture and occupational risk factors among women in metal industries: A study in Turkey(Elsevier, 2015-01-01) Karwowski, W; Schmorrow, D; AKALP, HÜSRE GİZEM; Aytaç, Serpil; AYTAÇ, SEVİNÇ SERPİL; YAMANKARADENİZ, NURETTİN; Gökçe, Ahmet; Çankaya, Oğuzhan; ÇANKAYA, OĞUZHAN; Tüfekçi, Ulviye; TÜFEKÇİ YAMAN, ÜLVİYE; Ahram, T; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Ziraat Fakültesi; Ahram, T; Karwowski, W; Schmorrow, D; 0000-0003-4895-8958; AAA-1753-2021; O-9218-2019; I-7814-2019; AAK-6269-2021; AAK-4195-2021Although work provides many economic and other benefits, a wide array of workplace hazards also present risks to the health and safety of people at work. These include but are not limited to, "chemicals, biological agents, physical factors, ergonomic conditions, allergens, a complex network of safety risks," and a broad range of psychosocial risk factors. Occupational risk factors are those factors which directly or indirectly influence the health and performance of the workers. There are different risk factors associated to the working people's health within the given environment of the workplace. Participation of women at work is ensured by the laps of globalization. When we look into the role of women in today's world, women are employed in every industry and institute and hold nearly every kind of jobs. Present study aims at understanding the association between perceived occupational risk factors, safety culture and psycho-social health of working women in metal industries in Turkey. In this study, researchers try to highlight the importance of the issue in the context of Turkey and more specifically working women in metal industries. For the present study, 1750 working women were sampled from metal industries through simple random sampling by using sample size determinant formula in Turkey. The results showed that there is a positive association among perceived occupational risk factors, safety culture and Perception of safety awareness. The negative directional relation is observed between the Fatalism perception and awareness of safety and health of working women.Publication The sources of stress, the symptoms of stress and anger styles as a psychosocial risk at occupational health and safety: A case study on Turkish police officers(Elsevier Science, 2015-01-01) Aytaç, Serpil; Ahram, T.; Karwowski, W.; Schmorrow, D.; AYTAÇ, SEVİNÇ SERPİL; Uludağ Üniversitesi/İktisadi ve İdari Bilimler Fakültesi.; Ahram, T.; Karwowski, W.; Schmorrow, D.; I-7814-2019The present study aims at measuring the sources of stress, the symptoms of stress and anger styles of police officers as psychosocial risk factors. A survey was carried out on 5725 randomly selected police officers in a big city in Turkey. The questionnaire included some personal information. When collecting data, Mayerson's Stress Factor Scale was used to measure the sources of stress. The Psychological Symptom Checklist-SCL-90-R was used to measure the participants' psychological symptoms and the State Trait Anger Scale (STAS) is used to measure anger styles of police officers. When analyzing data, correlations and stepwise multiple regression analysis are used to examine the relationship.The findings of the present study have shown that there are meaningful relationships among the symptoms of stress, the sources of stress and anger. According to this pointing system, it has been found that the police officers got higher stress points from the Mayerson Stress Sources Scale when physical environment, job, social stress and self-expression are considered, and they were tended to have increased problems. Psychological symptoms are highly prevalent among Turkish Police officers. In the end, several suggestions have been made to the police departments to help the officers who are affected adversely by job stress. According to these findings, we suggest a more specific research to be performed in order to determine and prevent these stress factors among Turkish Police officers.Publication Violence for women in working life: An application in the health sector(İstanbul Üniversitesi, 2013-01-01) Aytaç, Serpil; Dursun, Salih; AYTAÇ, SEVİNÇ SERPİL; Uludağ Üniversitesi/İktisadi ve İdari Birimler Fakültesi/Çalışma Ekonomisi ve Endüstri İlişkileri Bölümü.; I-7814-2019Publication Poverty, social exclusion, and life satisfaction: A study from Turkey(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2012-01-01) Bayram, Nuran; BAYRAM ARLI, NURAN; Aytaç, Serpil; AYTAÇ, SEVİNÇ SERPİL; Aytaç, Mustafa; Sam, Neslihan; Bilgel, Nazan; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/İktisadi ve İdari Bilimler Fakültesi/Ekonometri Bölümü.; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Aile Hekimliği Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0002-4539-5849; I-7814-2019; JFK-4021-2023Available data for Turkey shows significant poverty, high unemployment rates, and a moderate level of life satisfaction, which suggests a high incidence of social exclusion. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationships among poverty, social exclusion, and life satisfaction by structural equation modelling. This cross-sectional study of 2,493 randomly selected participants showed that approximately 29.0% of the variation in social exclusion could be explained by the effects of age, poverty, and life satisfaction. People who are poor, with lower life satisfaction, and are young feel themselves to be more socially excluded.Publication Attitudes of university students regarding to gender roles and relationship with life values(İstanbul Üniversitesi, 2013-01-01) Öngen, Burcu; Aytaç, Serpil; Ongen, Burcu; AYTAÇ, SEVİNÇ SERPİL; Uludağ Üniversitesi/İktisadi ve İdari Bilimler Fakültesi/Ekonometri Bölümü.; Uludağ Üniversitesi/İktisadi ve İdari Bilimler Fakültesi/Çalışma Ekonomisi ve Endüstri İlişkileri Bölümü.; I-7814-2019; JIT-2721-2023This study aimed to investigate life values and perceptions of genders roles of university students. For this purpose, 324 university students - 35,2% male and 64,8% female; were selected as a sample. Their attitudes towards gender roles and life values were measured by some socio-demographic questions. Scale averages of the female students estimated much higher than that of males. Moreover, the vast majority of the prescriptions showed a statistically significant difference between the genders (p<0.05) regarding their attitudes toward gender roles. A positive significant relationship between the life value dimension and two sub-dimensions of the gender roles (which are gender equality and sex role in marriage) was also observed. The outcomes of this study have a crucial importance as it reveals the views of university students on gender roles.Publication Life satisfaction in the retirement: A case of Bursa(İstanbul Üniversitesi, 2017-01-01) Aytaç, Serpil; AYTAÇ, SEVİNÇ SERPİL; Uludağ Üniversitesi/İktisadi ve İdari Bilimler Fakültesi/Çalışma Ekonomisi ve Endüstri İlişkileri Bölümü.; I-7814-2019In recent years, the direction of changes in the demographic structures has pointed towards an increased human life span, particularly in developed countries. On the one hand, this phenomenon has led to a decrease in population of those who are of working age and a corresponding, rapid increase in the number of retirees. On the other hand, this process-a consequence of aging-has also brought with it a number of economic and psychosocial problems. Several factors must be considered for a person to be happy, to enjoy life, and to improve the quality of life. In the field of human sciences, including the social sciences, life satisfaction is an important goal of retired individuals. As this is also related to the intellectual capital of a country, researchers have found that studying the life satisfaction of the retired members of society is of great importance. In this study, 336 retirees who were over 65 years of age and living in Bursa City were selected randomly and their life satisfaction was investigated. Results showed that an active social life led to a higher life satisfaction rate among this population.
