Araştırmanın örneklemini ise Antalya’daki 5 yıldızlı otel işletmelerindeki işgörenler oluşturmaktadır. Anket formu yargısal örnekleme tekniğiyle uygulanmıştır. Veri toplama 1 Ağustos- 1 Eylül 2022 tarihleri arasında gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bu tarihler arasında toplam 400 anket formuna ulaşılmıştır. Fakat araştırma analizi 370 anket formu ile yapılmıştır.
