    Recent research has shown that work-life balance is a common phenomenon. Many people do studies to examine topics related to work-life balance in Turkey and around the world. Work-life balance is categorized in this study in terms of generations and gender dimensions. It compares the 280 survey participants' gender and generational differences. Results change throughout generations as well as between genders. In this study, gender and generational comparisons of working longer hours are examined, as well as comparisons of working arrangements to Generation Z and Generation X, satisfaction with work-life balance and its relationships between generations, the availability of working arrangements in terms of work-life balance compared to gender, and the relationship between working and studying at the same time. By comparing survey responses using Chi-square analysis, five hypotheses are accepted and determined to be statistically correlated, while three are rejected as being noncorrelated. The data shows that men are working longer hours than the standard Office hours. The comparison of the current working arrangement between different generations was analyzed and the test result shows it is significant. When it comes to satisfaction with work-life balance the result indicates a significant relationship. When comparing the two generations Generation X’s satisfaction was found higher than the satisfaction of Generation Z. Also, a comparison between working more than standard office hours and generations was analyzed and it is indicated there was no significant relationship. Examining the relationship between personal life and family responsibilities and appropriateness of work arrangements by gender revealed that there was no significant relationship. The analysis of the relationship between working while studying and gender shows there is no significant relationship. The analysis comparing the impact of Covid 19 on work-life balance between the generations found a significant relationship. Finally, a significant relationship exists between working while studying in the last 2 years and generations.

    Türkiye’deki psikologların cinsiyete/toplumsal cinsiyete ilişkin söylemleri: nitel bir çalışma
    (Mehmet Akif Kara, 2021-06-30) Şah, Umut; Tekdemir, Göklem
    The aim of this study is to find out ‘interpretative repertoires’ used as discursive resources for sex/gender explanations of psychologists working in various fields in Turkey. Within the scope hereof, in-depth interviews were conducted with fourteen psychologists. Interviews were recorded and then transcribed. Interview texts were analyzed through discourse analysis. As a result of the analysis, four different interpretative repertoires were identified; dichotomy, feelings, nurture and difference. As to dichotomy repertoire, sex/gender is constructed within biology-society and woman-man dichotomies while it is defined as an individual and inner phenomenon in the feelings repertoire. When it comes to nurture repertoire, sex/gender is described as an identity acquired by nurturing processes while sexual differentiation is constructed as the source of difference and variety among people in difference repertoire. The results of the study manifest that the participants conceptualize sex/gender and sexuality within a dichotomous and essentialist framework to a large extent. The discourses of psychologists in Turkey have undergone some shifts in parallel with the transformations in Western psychology, however it is still possible to argue that essentialist, dichotomous and heteronormative assumptions on sex and sexuality keep forming their discourses to a certain extent in explicit or implicit ways. This is connected with the limited relation of (mainstream) psychology to other disciplines, critical and social constructionist perspectives, qualitative methodologies and activism as well as the fact that psychology in Turkey has mostly been imported from the West.
