TI  - The effect of occupational choice on job satisfaction and occupational
accidents in the construction sector: A case study on Rize and Çorum in
Turkey
AB  - The construction sector is a sector that employs a significant amount of employees in Turkey and appeals to
many branches of work and professions. In Turkey, the construction sector ranks first in the statistics of
occupational accidents, with the highest fatality every year. In this study, how the construction workers
choose their profession in Turkey, whether they have professional qualification certificates, the relationship
between career choice and job satisfaction, and the perceptions of workers in the construction sector about
occupational accidents were determined through questionnaires. The questionnaires were applied to 72
construction workers working at four different construction sites. The prepared questionnaires are
determined how the construction workers' choice of occupation affected their job satisfaction using a fivepoint Likert scale (strongly disagree, disagree, undecided, agree, strongly agree). The average and standard
deviation of the answers given by the construction workers to the questionnaires were found. The relationship
between job choice and job satisfaction, between job satisfaction and occupational accident, was determined
by correlation analysis. As a result of the study, it has been determined that other people choose a significant
portion of the construction workers in Turkey. The job satisfaction of the construction workers who desire a
profession is higher. Most of the construction workers working in Turkey perceive work accidents as death
or severe injury that will require hospital treatment.
