işgörenlerden Sanal Kaytarma Ölçeği anket formu aracılığı ile toplanmıştır.
SPSS 22.0 ile analizi yapılan verilere faktör analizi, t testi ve tek yönlü
Anova uygulanmıştır. Sonuçta işgörenlerin bazı demografik özellikleri ile sanal
kaytarma davranışı arasında anlamlı ilişkinin olduğu belirlenmiş ve bulgular
