Abstract

Bu çalışmada, kıyı otelleri çalışanlarının ayrımcılık konusuna ilişkin algıları incelenmiştir. Amaçlı ve kartopu örneklem yöntemi kullanılarak Marmaris’teki kıyı otellerinin 21 çalışanından yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme tekniği ile veri toplanmıştır. Veriler içerik analizi yapılarak incelenmiştir. Araştırma bulguları a) ayrımcılık türlerine ilişkin algı, b) ayrımcılığın nedenlerine ilişkin algı ve c) ayrımcılığın sonuçlarına (etkilerine) ilişkin algı olmak üzere üç tema altında sunulmuştur. Araştırmada otel işletmelerinde en çok cinsiyet ve nepotizm türlerinde ayrımcılık yaşandığı, ayrımcılığa genellikle gruplaşmanın sebep olduğu ve ayrımcılığın en fazla iş yoğunluğu artışı ve motivasyon kaybı ile sonuçlandığı belirlenmiştir.
