Abstract

The understanding of adopting to fast information flow and the adaptation of employees to changing environmental conditions have led to the birth of new approaches in organization psychology. One of these approaches is the employees‟ finding their jobs meaningful. It is estimated that the employees‟ finding their jobs, which they deal with along the day in their workplaces, might be related with various individual and organizational outcomes, and it is believed that the levels of the employees‟ finding their work meaningful may affect their life qualities and organizational outcomes. Based on this, this study has the aim of determining whether or not the banking sector employees‟ finding their works meaningful predict their psychological well-being. The study was conducted with 162 employees working at an international bank in Istanbul. The “Job and Meaning Inventory” and “Psychological Well-being Scale” were used as data collection tools in the study. As a result of the analyses of the relations between the points received from the scale applied simultaneously to the study group, it was determined that the employees‟ finding their works meaningful were high and this predicted their psychological well-being levels. The limitations of the study are discussed with recommendations for future rearch.
