Empirical Research On Determining Future Anxiety Of Hotel Staff And Leave Of Employment Due To COVID-19

Abstract

The main purpose of this research is to determine the relationship between COVID-19 pandemic and hotel employees' leave of employment/continuing to work and their employment concerns. A questionnaire form from different scales was designed and data was collected from 633 five-star hotel employees between December 2020 and March 2021. According to the results, hotel employees have future anxiety with COVID-19, but their intention to leave work is low. Particularly, the dimensions such as hopelessness and fatalism were found to have a significant relationship with the anxiety and the intention to leave work, while a high correlation was found between the dimension of continuing the profession and the dimensions of individual and general measures.
