Araştırmanın amacı, turizm sektöründe istihdam edilen çalışanların kişilik özellikleri ve psikolojik sermaye düzeylerinin, sessiz istifa ile ilişkilerini derinlemesine incelemektir. Bu doğrultuda, beş büyük kişilik özelliği ile psikolojik sermaye boyutlarının, çalışanların duygusal ve zihinsel bağlılıkları üzerindeki etkilerini belirlemek ve bu değişkenlerin sessiz istifa boyutları ile ilişkilerini ortaya koymak hedeflenmiştir. Araştırmanın evreni turizm çalışanları olup, örneklem Bodrum/Yalıkavak bölgesinde 5 yıldızlı otel çalışanları olarak belirlenmiştir. Araştırmada nicel yöntem benimsenmiş ve veriler çevrimiçi anket aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. Bu kapsamda 29.08.2024-01.10.2024 tarihleri arasında anket verileri toplanmış ve SPSS 26 programında korelasyon analizi yapılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda; kişilik alt boyutları ile sessiz istifa alt boyutları arasında pozitif bir ilişki bulunmasına rağmen bu ilişkilerin genellikle zayıf ve sınırlı düzeyde olduğu görülmüştür. Özellikle dışadönüklük ve yumuşak başlılık gibi kişilik özelliklerinin sessiz istifa alt boyutlarıyla düşük düzeyde ilişki gösterdiği gözlemlenmiştir. Bunun yanı sıra psikolojik sermaye alt boyutları ile sessiz istifa arasında negatif bir ilişki görülmüştür.
