Öz

Bu çalışmanın temel amacı Covid-19’un otel işletmesi işgörenlerinin kariyer planlarını nasıl etkilediğini belirlemektir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda işgörenlerin kariyer planları Covid-19 öncesi ve sonrası dönem olmak üzere incelenmektedir. Araştırmanın amacına uygun olması nedeniyle nitel araştırma yöntemi benimsenmiştir. Görüşme tekniğinde yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu kullanılmıştır. Görüşme formunda 6 soru vardır. Görüşmelerde alınan notlar ve kayıtlar kontrol edilerek analiz öncesi yazıya aktarılmıştır. Daha sonra içerik analizi uygulanmıştır. Bu şekilde temalar ve kodlar belirlenmiştir. İçerik analizi sonucunda ana tema olarak ‘’Covid-19’un Kariyer Planına Etkileri’’ belirlenmiştir. Alt temalar ise Covid-19 öncesi kariyer planı, Covid-19 öncesi mesleğe ilişkin düşünceler, Covid-19 süreci işsizlik, Covid-19 süreci umutsuzluk, Covid-19 sonrası mesleğe ilişkin düşünceler, Covid-19 sonrası kariyer planıdır. Araştırma sonuçları genel olarak değerlendirildiğinde bazı işgörenlerin Covid-19 öncesi ve sonrasında kariyer planlarının değiştiği sonucuna ulaşılmaktadır. İşgörenlerin Covid-19 sürecinde işsizlik ve umutsuzluk yaşamaları bu durumun en önemli nedeni olarak görülmektedir. Bazı işgörenlerin ise kariyer planları Covid-19 öncesi ve sonrasında değişmemiştir.
