Investigation of Various Obsessive Compulsive Symptoms in the Context of Job and Relationship Satisfaction and Socio-Demographic Factors

Summary/Abstract: Purpose – The main purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) symptoms and their relationship and job satisfaction. The second aim is to determine whether various socio-demographic variables differ in terms of obsessive compulsive symptoms and job satisfaction. Design/methodology/approach – The sample of the study consists of 380 participants, 190 women and 190 men, aged between 18-45. Sociodemographic Information Form, Maudsley Obsessive Compulsive Questionnaire, Relationship Satisfaction Scale and Minnesota Job Satisfaction Scale were used as data collection tools in the study. SPSS 21 package program was used for data analysis. Findings – While no significant relationship was found between OCD symptoms and job satisfaction, a negative relationship was found between OCD symptoms and relationship satisfaction. There is a significant and positive relationship between job and relationship satisfaction. In terms of sociodemographic findings, while the age variable differs only according to OCD symptom scores, it differs according to the educational and occupational status of the participants, both OCD symptom levels and job satisfaction. In addition, job satisfaction levels of those in professional and nonprofessional occupational groups are significantly higher than those in semi-professional occupations. Discussion – Our findings support the spillover model, which suggests that the relationship between job satisfaction and life satisfaction is transitive in general. Thus, the spill-over model, which argues that job satisfaction will increase life satisfaction, and that the satisfaction in a certain dimension of an individual's life will spread to other dimensions of life, has been supported. Socio-demographic findings are discussed within the scope of the relevant literature.
