Abstract

In this study, it was aimed to examine the job insecurity and employability perceptions of the employees in the tourism industry according to their socio-demographic characteristics and to reveal empirically the relationship between job insecurity and employability. The population of the study was determined as employees of four and five star accommodation enterprises in Nevşehir and data was collected from a total of 361 employees by convenience sampling method. In order to examine the research hypotheses which were developed in accordance with the theoretical framework of the study, One-way ANOVA test and linear regression analysis were used. Findings obtained as a result of the research show that employees' perceptions of job insecurity and employability vary according to age, education level and length of working. Furthermore, it was determined that employability has a significant, negative effect on job insecurity perception and employees with a high level of employability perception perceive less job insecurity than employees with low employability perception

Turizm Sektöründe Algılanan İş Güvencesizliği ve İstihdam Edilebilirlik: Konaklama İşletmeleri Örneği

Abstract

Bu çalışma ile turizm sektöründe çalışanların iş güvencesizliği ve istihdam edilebilirlik algılarının sosyo-demografik özelliklerine göre incelenmesi ve iş güvencesizliği ile istihdam edilebilirlik algısı arasındaki ilişkinin görgül olarak ortaya koyulması amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmanın evreni Nevşehir’de faaliyet gösteren dört ve beş yıldızlı konaklama işletmeleri çalışanları olarak belirlenmiş ve kolayda örnekleme yöntemi ile toplam 361 çalışandan veri toplanmıştır. Çalışmanın kuramsal çerçevesi doğrultusunda geliştirilen araştırma hipotezlerinin sınanabilmesi amacıyla tek yönlü varyans analizi (ANOVA) ve regresyon analizinden yararlanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda elde edilen bulgular çalışanların iş güvencesizliği ve istihdam edilebilirlik algılarının yaş, eğitim seviyesi ve çalışma süresine göre değiştiğini göstermektedir. Ayrıca, istihdam edilebilirliğin iş güvencesizliği algısı üzerinde negatif yönlü anlamlı bir etkiye sahip olduğu ve yüksek düzeyde istihdam edilebilirlik algısına sahip olan çalışanların, düşük düzeyde istihdam edilebilirlik algısına sahip olan çalışanlardan daha az iş güvencesizliği algıladıkları tespit edilmiştir.
