In this study, it was aimed to examine whether job embeddedness varies according to demographic variables or not. 301 white-collar employees working in different sectors were included to the study. Survey form was distributed to the participants and data were collected. In the evaluations of variables that are not distributed normally between two groups, Mann-Whitney U test was used. For the evaluations of variables that are not distributed normally between two and more groups, Kruskal-Wallis test was used. To determine the source of significance if the significance was observed, Dunn-Bonferroni test was used. Statistical significance was accepted as p <0.05.
In line with the findings of the study, it was found that there is a statistically significant difference for participants’ age, working year in this profession, and the working year in the institution (respectively, p = 0.001; p = 0.017; p = 0.009). And there is no significant difference according to participants’ gender, marital status, and education levels (p> 0.05).

Bu çalışmada, işe gömülmüşlüğün demografik değişkenlere göre değişiklik gösterip göstermediğini incelemek amaçlanmıştır. Farklı sektörlerde çalışan 301 beyaz yakalı çalışmaya dahil edilmiştir. Çalışma verileri anket yoluyla dağıtılmış, veriler toplanmıştır. Normal dağılım göstermeyen değişkenlerin iki grup arası değerlendirmelerinde Mann-Whitney U test kullanılmıştır. Normal dağılım göstermeyen değişkenlerin ikiden fazla grup arası değerlendirmelerinde Kruskal-Wallis test ve anlamlılık gözlenmesi durumunda anlamlılığın kaynağını belirlemek amacıyla Dunn-Bonferroni test kullanıldı. İstatistiksel anlamlılık p<0,05 olarak kabul edilmiştir.
Elde edilen çalışma bulguları doğrultusunda, katılımcıların yaşları, meslekte çalışma süreleri, mevcut iş yerinde çalışma sürelerine göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark olduğu saptanmıştır (sırasıyla, p=0,001; p=0,017; p=0,009). Katılımcıların cinsiyetleri, medeni durumları ve eğitim düzeylerine göre ise, istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark saptanmamıştır (p>0,05).
