dc.description.abstractBackround Earthquakes can affect a society economically and psychosocially by causing loss of life and property. Various psychological disorders, loneliness, and feelings of insecurity can be seen among the psychosocial effects of earthquakes. With these effects, earthquakes can also have various effects on people's life satisfaction, work life, and work motivation.Objective This study aimed to determine the effects of life satisfaction of textile factory workers after the February 6 earthquake on work motivation and organizational commitment.Methods A questionnaire including sociodemographic data, life satisfaction scale, multidimensional work motivation scale and organizational commitment scales was used. The research group consisted of 154 workers working in a textile factory in Malatya who experienced the February 6 earthquake.Results It has been determined that there is a positive relationship between organizational commitment and work motivation, and that there is a significant increase in work motivation and organizational commitment as age and working hours increase. The results of our study include that changing cities after an earthquake has negative effects on work motivation; and that the life satisfaction, work motivation and organizational commitment of people whose houses were damaged or destroyed in the earthquake were negatively affected.Conclusion Proactive approaches should be developed to minimize the physical, psychological and social effects of the earthquake.
