“…This positive situation may be a significant indicator that the instructors do not feel lonely, that they interact with the people in their surroundings, and that they live in peace with themselves. There are also studies, albeit with different participation groups, that are similar to the conclusions of the present study (Kaymaz et al, 2014;Softa et al, 2015;Şişman & Turan, 2004;Uyanık, 2007). Uyanık (2007) found that the loneliness levels of gifted children; Softa et al (2015) found that the loneliness levels of university students were relatively low.…”

“…When the literature on loneliness is reviewed, it can be seen that such a painful phenomenon is studied with such variables as organizational citizenship (Karaduman, 2013;Keser & Karaduman, 2014); organizational trust (Kaplan, 2011); integration into work (Sezen, 2014); participation in recreational activities (Ekinci, Demirel, Demirel & Işık, 2015); self-esteem (Softa et al, 2015); test anxiety (Uyanık, 2007); doing sports (Özçelik, İmamoğlu, Çekin & Başpınar, 2015); social support (Oktan, 2014); health and drug addiction (Luanaigh & Lawlor, 2008;Yeh, 2002). Together with that, loneliness is handled with children (Asher, Hymel & Renshaw, 1984;Kirova-Petrova, 1996;Uyanik, 2007), teachers (Kaplan, 2011;Karaduman, 2013;Keser & Karaduman, 2014;Sezen, 2014); students (Ekinci et al, 2015;Jabalameli, 1993;Oktan, 2014;Özçelik et al, 2015;Softa et al, 2015;Yeh, 2002); company employees (Eroğluer & Yılmaz, 2015;Kaymaz, Eroğlu & Sayılar, 2014) and older people (Luanaigh & Lawlor, 2008). In general, together with the fact that there are no studies conducted about the loneliness of the instructors, in the study by Selçukoğlu (2001), the relationship between the research assistants' loneliness and burnout levels with their life satisfaction was investigated in terms of various variables.…”

Instructors who strive to do their job in the best way can experience loneliness due to this perfectionist personality trait. That's why, in this research, it was aimed to reveal the relationship between the instructors' perfectionism and loneliness levels. 123 volunteer instructors who were selected by random sampling method participated in the research, which was designed in relational screening model. Descriptive and provable statistical techniques were used in the research. As a result of the research, it was found that general perfectionism of the instructors was relatively above average. The instructors' self-oriented perfectionism was at the highest level. The instructors' social emotional loneliness levels were relatively below average. The instructors' perfectionism and loneliness levels did not differ according to demographic variables. Positive, medium and high level relationships were found among the instructors' perfectionism. There was a negative, low level relationship between the instructors' perfectionism other than socially prescribed perfectionism and their social emotional loneliness. It was found that the instructors' other-oriented perfectionism levels significantly predicted their loneliness. The studies that can support the findings obtained can be conducted at different universities.

High levels of labor turnover are considered signals of poor management for organizations. The departure of qualified employees may result in great losses in organizational terms. This research aimed to examine the relationships between turnover intention, work alienation, and loneliness. Research data were collected using surveys from 440 aviation company employees, and convenience sampling was used for participant selection. The survey included UCLA Loneliness Scale, Work Alienation Scale, and Turnover Intention Scale. The research revealed that turnover intention had an effect on loneliness and this effect of turnover intention on loneliness was fully mediated by work alienation. Accordingly, work alienation fully mediates the relationship between turnover intention and loneliness. The analyses indicate that organizations, especially in the aviation industry, should pay attention to psychological factors such as loneliness and work alienation that drive qualified employees to quit their jobs. This research contributed to the relevant literature by pointing out organizational behavior concepts that may lead to unexpected labor loss and thereby inefficiency.
