    Research on accountants professional burnout job and life satisfaction 3 Job and life satisfaction
    (SILA SCIENCE, 2012) Avsaroglu, Selahattin; Ay, Mustafa
    This research aims at determining whether the job satisfaction and life satisfaction levels of accounting employees differ according to some variables and determining the relationship between job satisfaction and life satisfaction. The Job Satisfaction Scale developed by Hackman and Oldham [1] and the Life Satisfaction Scale developed by Diener, Emmons, Larsen and Griffin [2] were the data collection tools used in this research. The universe of the research is made up of accounting employees in Turkey. The work group consists of 1494 participants randomly selected from this universe. The research found that both the job satisfaction and the life satisfaction of the accounting employees differ according to age, working-region and income-level variables. It was also found that job satisfaction differs according to working style and life satisfaction differs according to position. Finally, it was determined that there is a positive significant and powerful relationship between job satisfaction and life satisfaction.

    Serotonin Transporter Bi- and Triallelic Genotypes and Their Relationship with Anxiety and Academic Performance: A Preliminary Study
    (KARGER, 2011) Calapoglu, Mustafa; Sahin-Calapoglu, Nilufer; Karacop, Ataman; Soyoz, Mustafa; Elyildirim, Umit Y.; Avsaroglu, Selahattin
    Background: Considerable evidence suggests that variation of the serotonin-transporter-linked promoter region (5-HTTLPR) is associated with anxiety-related traits. Academic outcomes are also more closely related to trait anxiety. This preliminary study aimed to explore the association between academic performance and levels of anxiety with respect to the bi- and triallelic classification of 5-HTTLPR polymorphism of the 5-HTT gene in teacher candidates. Methods: In our study, Spielberger's State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, the Selection Examination for Professional Posts in Public Organizations (KPSS) and 5-HTTLPR genotypes were used to investigate a group of 94 healthy teacher candidates. Results: Higher anxiety scores were significantly associated with the S'S' genotype. There was no direct, statistically significant association between academic performance and genotypic groups regarding bi- and triallelic classification. However, the students who have L'L' or LL genotypes had the lowest levels of trait anxiety and the poorest academic performance. Additionally, there was a significant positive correlation between academic performance and anxiety levels. Discussion: These findings support the idea that S and L-G alleles are associated with anxiety-related traits, and that the S'S' genotype may be a good indicator for anxiety-related traits in a sample from the Turkish population. A specific degree of anxiety is considered to be a motivation for learning and high academic performance. However, 5-HTTLPR polymorphism of the 5-HTT gene may be one of the genetic factors affecting academic performance in connection with anxiety levels. Implications for incorporating anxiety management training in the educational process in terms of both environmental and individual factors will have a very important role in improving effective strategies for student personality services, as well as for development and planning.
