Comparison of Demographic Characteristics of Hotel Employee with Intolerance of Uncertainty and Covid-19 Fear

The coronavirus pandemic, which spread rapidly from the Wuhan region of China to the world, reached our country in a short time. With the various measures taken by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the health ministries of countries to manage this pandemic process, people's daily lives have changed suddenly and unexpectedly. Within the scope of the measures, some business lines continued to work from home to operate online, but especially the service sector faced uncertainty in the short term. This process has made the workers in the tourism sector, especially hotel workers, one of the groups most affected by the pandemic. For this reason, the study was based on examining the tolerance levels of uncertainty and covid-19 fear perceptions of hotel employees in Manavgat in Antalya and comparing them according to the demographic characteristics of the participants. In this context, 313 data were included in the analysis process. In this study, in which the survey method will be used, data were collected from hotel employees through a questionnaire. Frequency, percentage values and parametric comparison analyzes were used in the interpretation of the data. In the light of the findings obtained as a result of the analyzes and by making use of the relevant literature, suggestions for the sector and future studies have been developed.
