Effects of organization culture and working conditions on job satisfaction and turnover rate in shipyards

According to recent studies, this high turnover rate has a devastating effect on workplace efficiency. In addition, the company will struggle to develop its corporate culture without its former trained and experienced employees. Thus, their existence in the market will become troubled. This institution becomes more vital especially in sector with challenging working conditions such as shipyards and where the cost of employee loss is high. However, according to literature "Working Conditions", "Intention to quitting job", "Organization Culture" and "Job Satisfaction" seem to be among the issues that institutions frequently have skipped in the last decades. Consequently, there has been a lack of research into how different forms of work motivation affect worker profiles in the shipbuilding industry. The goal of this research is to learn more about how shipyards' organizational culture and working conditions contribute to dissatisfaction among workers and the problem of excessive turnover. This study also aimed to identify the primary type of work motivation and explore relationships between types of job satisfaction and worker profile in shipyard workers. The research was conducted in shipyards located in two main shipyard industrial zones. Within the scope of the research, survey data were collected from 402 people by interview method. The hypotheses created were analysed with the Jamovi program. Among the most notable discoveries are the gender differences in job satisfaction and the predominance of a clan culture in the workplace at a Turkish shipyard.
