Akademisyenlerde İşe Yabancılaşmanın Sosyolojik Bir Değerlendirmesi

Öz

Yabancılaşma, kişinin belli bir şeyden kopması ve ona karşı ayrılık hali hissetmesiyle olur. Bu durumu kişi kendine, diğer insanlara hatta genel olarak dünyaya karşı hissedebilir. Yaptığı işe ve iş ortamına karşı yabancılaşmada da işe yabancılaşma durumu oluşur. İşe yabancılaşma; iş ortamında sınırlı etkileşim, eşitsiz ve adil olmayan tutumlar, başarı kaygısı yaşama, tekdüze görevler, iş üzerinde etki ve kontrolün kaybı, karar alma yetkisinin olmaması, açık olmayan ve benimsenmemiş görev kimliği, yapılan işin anlamsız bulunması, izole olarak çalışma, iş arkadaşları arasında sosyal bağların yokluğu, yetersiz ödüllendirmeler, düşük statü, emredici otorite ve yetkili kişilere ulaşamamak gibi durumlarda ortaya çıkmaktadır. İşe yabancılaşma, gerek küreselleşmenin ekonomik etkileri gerekse de artan kapitalist ve neoliberal politikalarla üniversitelerde de kendini göstermektedir. Üniversitelerin yıllar içinde değişen yapısı, akademik dünyayı da etkilemiş, bilimsel çalışmalarda ve bazı akademik personelin meslek hayatında farklılıklar meydana getirmiştir. Bu çalışmada üniversitelerde yaşanan sorunlara akademisyenler açısından bakılarak özellikle güvencesiz çalışan akademisyenlerin işe yabancılaşma sorunlarının nedenleri detaylandırılacaktır.

A Sociological Evaluation of Alienation at Work in Academics

Abstract

Alienation occurs when a person feels disconnected from something and feels a sense of separation from it. This can be felt towards oneself, other people, or even the world in general. Alienation from one's work and the work environment also leads to work alienation. Work alienation manifests in situations such as limited interaction in the work environment, unequal and unfair attitudes, anxiety about success, monotonous tasks, loss of influence and control over work, lack of decision-making authority, unclear and unaccepted job identity, perceived meaninglessness of work, working in isolation, lack of social connections among colleagues, inadequate rewards, low status, commanding authority, and lack of access to authorized individuals. Work alienation also manifests itself in universities due to both the economic effects of globalization and increasing capitalist and neoliberal policies. The changing structure of universities over the years has also impacted the academic world, creating differences in scientific research and the professional lives of some academic staff. This study will examine the problems experienced in universities from the perspective of academics and will detail the causes of work alienation, particularly among academics working in precarious positions.
