Abstract

COVID-19 krizi, getirilen seyahat kısıtlamaları sebebiyle turizm sektöründe önemli kayıplara neden olmuş ve pandeminin getirdiği belirsizlik, otel işletmesi çalışanlarının işlerini kaybetme riski ile karşı karşıya getirmiştir. Bu süreçte otel işletmelerinin bir süre kapalı olması ya da küçülmeye gitmeleri, çalışanların iş güvencesizliği yaşamalarını muhtemel kılabilmektedir. Literatür incelendiğinde otel işletmesi çalışanlarının algıladıkları sağlık riski ile iş güvencesizliği arasındaki ilişkiyi inceleyen sınırlı sayıda çalışmanın olması bu çalışmanın yapılmasında belirleyici olmuştur. Bu kapsamda çalışma ile beş yıldızlı otel işletmeleri çalışanlarının COVID-19 ile ilişkili algıladıkları sağlık riski ile iş güvencesizliği arasındaki ilişkinin ortaya konulması amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada nicel araştırma yöntemlerinden anket tekniğinden faydalanılmıştır. İstanbul ilinde faaliyet gösteren beş yıldızlı otel işletmesi çalışanları ile çalışma gerçekleştirilmiştir. COVID-19 ile ilişkili algılanan sağlık riskinin iş güvencesizliği üzerinde olumlu ve anlamlı bir etkisi olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Aynı zamanda sağlık riski ile iş güvencesizliği arasındaki ilişki üzerinde demografik özelliklerin anlamlı etkisinin incelenmesi sonucunda, erkeklerin, bekârların, 25 yaş ve altı kişilerin ve işletmede çalışma süresi bakımından 4 yıldan daha az ve 10 yıl üzerinde çalışanlar için modele anlamlı katkı sağladığı tespit edilmiştir.

The Relationship Between Perceived Health Risk Associated with COVID-19 and Job Insecurity.

Abstract

The COVID-19 crisis has caused significant losses in the tourism sector due to travel restrictions, and the uncertainty brought by the pandemic has brought hotel employees to the risk of losing their jobs. In this process, the fact that hotel businesses are closed for a while or downsizing may make it possible for employees to experience job insecurity. When the literature is examined, the limited number of studies examining the relationship between the perceived health risk of hotel employees and job insecurity has been decisive in the conduct of this study. In this context, the aim of this study is to reveal the relationship between the health risk perceived by the employees of five-star hotel businesses related to COVID-19 and job insecurity. Questionnaire technique, one of the quantitative research methods, was used in the study. The study was carried out with employees of a five-star hotel in Istanbul. It has been found that the perceived health risk associated with COVID-19 has a positive and significant effect on job insecurity. At the same time, as a result of examining the significant effect of demographic characteristics on the relationship between health risk and job insecurity, it was determined that men, singles, people aged 25 and under and those working in the enterprise for less than 4 years and over 10 years contributed significantly to the model.
