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.

Öz

The main purpose of this research is to determine how Covid-19 affects the career plans of hotel employees. For this purpose, the career plans of the employees are examined before and after Covid-19. The qualitative research method was adopted as it is suitable for the purpose of the research. Semi-structured interview form was used in the interview technique. There are 6 questions in the interview form. The notes and recordings taken during the interviews were checked and transcribed before analysis, and then content analysis was applied. In this way, themes and codes were determined. As a result of the content analysis, "The Effects of Covid-19 on Career Plan" was determined as the main theme. The sub-themes are career plan before Covid-19, thoughts about the profession before Covid-19, Covid-19 process unemployment, Covid-19 process hopelessness, thoughts about the profession after Covid-19, career plan after Covid-19. When the results of the research are evaluated in general, it is concluded that the career plans of some employees changed before and after Covid-19. The unemployment and hopelessness of the employees during the Covid-19 process is seen as the most important reason for this situation. The career plans of some employees did not change before and after Covid-19.
