Abstract
Sanayi devrimiyle birlikte oluşan sanayi toplumundan, post-endüstriyel “sanayi sonrası toplum” yapısına geçiş sürecinde işçi sınıfı profilinde de derin anlamlar taşıyan değişimler yaşanmaya başlanmıştır. Sanayi devriminin meydana getirdiği işçi sınıfı, köylerden kopup gelmiş, kentlerde fabrikalarda çalışmaya başlayan vasıfsız veya yarı vasıflı işçiler idi. Sanayi toplumunun fabrika işçisi, verilen emirleri sorgulamadan yerine getiren, düşünmesine izin verilmeyen, kendisinden istenileni yapan bir profil çizmektedir. Ancak, yaşanan büyük dönüşümün getirdiği işçi sınıfı profili çok farklı bir nitelik kazandı. Adına bilgi işçisi denilen bir işçi türü emek piyasasındaki yerini aldı.Bilgi işçisi daha nitelikli, bilgiye hakim, bilgiyi denetleyen ve yönlendiren, çalışma ortamı daha sağlıklı, bağımsız ve bireysel çalışan, şirkete katkısı daha çok olan, gerekirse üretimi tek başına durdurabilecek kadar güçlü olan bir işçidir. Sanayi-sonrası toplum kuramcılarına göre; bilgi işçileri; el becerileri ve kas gücü yerine eğitim sırasında öğrendiği kavramları, fikirleri, kuramları katan işçiler olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Bilgi işçileri,endüstri işçilerinden çok farklı karakteristik’e sahiptir. Araştırma, bilgi işçilerinin sosyolojik profilini ve sosyo-kültürel,sosyo-ekonomik karakteristikler ve tutumlarını konu almaktadır. Bilgi işçileri, çalışmaya az önem veren ve boş zamanı daha çok tercih eden, bireysellikleri yüksek olan, mesleklerine bağlılıkları olan, özerk-bağımsız çalışmayı isteyen, sorumluluk alabilen, yaratıcı, kariyeri paraya tercih eden, risk ve belirsizlikten korkmayan, yenilikçi ve sürekli öğrenme istekleri olan işçilerdir. Bunun yanında bilgi işçilerinin, kadının çalışma hayatındaki yeri, politik ve din hayatı üzerindeki düşünceleri, çocuklarının ve Türkiye’nin geleceği ile AB ve Türkiye konusundaki beklentilerinin derecesi anlaşılmaya çalışılmıştır.
During the transformation period , after the Industrial revulation (with the emergence of Industrial society) ,the Working class went through a considerable transformation in this so called Post-Industrial times.The Working class ,which was a product of Industrial revulation, who migrated from villages to Industrial centres in order to find work in factories were mainly unskilled or at best semi-skilled people. In a Industrial society, the factory workers were the group of people who did what they were told to without questioning, were not allowed to logical thinking. They were simply regarded as some kind of advanced machine. However another by product of Industrial revulation was the "knowledge workers". Compered with manual workers , they were more skilled, educated, more intelligent group of people. They worked in a more healthier enviroment,sometimes unsupervised, could apply logic, contribute more to their employees business. But also they could bring the production to a halt if they wanted to. After the Industrial revulation they were described as a group of people who could use their intelligance and skill which they had gained thanks to their education, unlike the manual workers who could only use their manual skills and muscles. Another charecteristics of knowledge workers are those , they care less about their work but loyal to their professions, prefer leusire time to work, are individualist nature, will accept responsibility and new ventures, always open to new challenges , will take risks. To them , them their careers are more important than money. In a Turkish society , knowledge workers contributed a great deal of ideas about " woman's place at work" , religion, politics, the future of their children ,the hope and expectance of Turkish people in EU.
