Abstract
The AFAD search and Rescue Association is based on volunteering and dedication in terms of working conditions. The human factor has an important place in the success of this institution. AFAD employees, who have a sense of commitment to their institutions, take great responsibility in providing superior services to organizations. It was also thought that the satisfaction of the employees, their commitment to their organization and the support of the organization will increase the quality and efficiency of the service the organization aims to provide. This research was carried out on a descriptive and cross-sectional basis in order to determine the relationship between AFAD Istanbul search and Rescue union employees and organizational commitment and to take necessary measures against the problems present in the institution. The research was carried out with 71 employees working in search and rescue unit of Disaster and Emergency Directorate in Istanbul between 02.11.2018 - 01.01.2019. Data were collected using Descriptive Information Form and Organizational Commitment Scale. Descriptive statistics were used to evaluate the data. The average age of the participants was 38.89 ± 6.32 years and 91.5% were male. 23.9% of them have associate degree and 67.6% of them have bachelor's degree. 81.7% are married. 50.7% have been working in the current institution for less than 10 years. Total working time of 46.5% is less than 12 years. 14.1% graduated from agriculture. 63.3% are employed as search and rescue technicians. Employees considered their organizational commitment to be 25.4% very good and 22.5% good. 54.9% said they faced a problem related to organizational commitment. The average point of the Organizational Commitment Scale was determined 3.07 ± 0.20. The average point of Organizational Commitment Scale of those whose total working period is 12 years or more was found to be statistically higher than those with a total working time of under 12 years (p:0,048; p<0,05). The average point of Organizational Commitment Scale of those who did not encounter a problem about organizational commitment was found to be statistically higher than those who encounter a problem about organizational commitment (p:0,015; p<0,05). It wasn't determined statistically significant difference between Organizational Commitment and age, gender, marital status, education level and working time in the current institution. It was found that the employees evaluated the status of having organizational commitment as good but faced with problems related to organizational commitment. At the same time, it was concluded that employees with a high level of organizational commitment can respond to the situation in a prepared and effective without stress manner in the event of a disaster.
