BACKGROUND: Empirical findings are needed to determine how the fear of COVID-19 might change in the context of different individuals. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to determine the moderating role of fatalism and psychological resilience on the effect of fear of COVID-19 on general mental health. METHODS: This study makes use of qualitative research methods that involved collecting data from 355 full-time waiters via questionnaires on online platforms. RESULT: The collected data suggests that the fear of COVID-19 has a significant negative impact on mental well-being. Morever, the data gathered for this study also indicates that the fear of COVID-19 infection differs significantly according to the fatalistic belief and psychological resilience levels of the waiters. CONCLUSIONS: Findings of this study indicate that the psychological effects of infectious diseases on individuals are not universal, but rather depend on the personal characteristics of individuals. It is hoped that the results of this study will contribute to the reduction of negative effects associated with the general anxiety of pandemic that individuals experience.
This research aims to determine whether collaborative hypertext dictionaries (CHDs) offer warranties within the scope of the warranting theory. A fictional script based on recruitment processes was used to examine whether the comments about persons in CHDs offer warranties to recruiters. The study was conducted with a posttest-only control group design from amongst true experimental designs. The sample consisted of 359 persons, including board members of five-star accommodation establishments with recruitment privileges, deputy general managers, accounting managers, and human resources staff. The study concluded that positive or negative comments about applicants in CHDs significantly impact the recruiters’ perspective of them. Also, the research considered important resources in recruitment processes when it comes to offering warranties. The research findings provide a practical contribution by revealing the effect of applicants’ social media content on the recruiter’s choice.
BackgroundIt is important to determine the individual factors that cause the differentiation of negative reactions of individuals due to epidemics. The purpose of this study is to investigate the moderating role of a sedentary lifestyle and the me-diating role of fear of COVID-19 on the relationship between rumination and life satisfaction. Intense rumination is known to have a negative impact on individuals’ life satisfaction levels. Very little is known about variables that may mediate and moderate this relationship.Participants and procedureThe study was conducted with staff members of five-star accommodation establishments in Turkey. Data were col-lected with a quantitative research method via questionnaires, completed by 386 full-time employees.ResultsThe results show that rumination negatively affects life satisfaction, and fear of COVID-19 has a mediating role be-tween rumination and life satisfaction. In addition, the study concluded that a sedentary lifestyle moderated the indi-rect effect of rumination on life satisfaction through fear of COVID-19. This finding indicates that the negative impact of rumination on life satisfaction, mediated by fear of COVID-19, decreased, as the active lifestyle level of employees increased.ConclusionsThe results indicate the importance of active lifestyles in reducing negative impacts of the fear of being infected with a disease during times of crisis such as outbreaks and ruminative thoughts on lifestyle. The findings of this study provide substantial contributions with respect to how outbreak-related negative reactions occur and differ.
RESUMO Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo determinar se os dicionários colaborativos de hipertexto (DCHs) oferecem garantias no âmbito da teoria da garantia. Um roteiro fictício baseado em processos de recrutamento foi usado para examinar se os comentários sobre pessoas em DCHs fornecem uma garantia ou não. O estudo foi conduzido com um desenho pós-teste único com grupo de controle em meio a delineamentos experimentais verdadeiros. A amostra para o estudo foi composta por 359 pessoas, incluindo membros do conselho de administração de estabelecimentos de hospitalidade cinco estrelas com privilégios de recrutamento, subgerentes gerais, responsáveis pela contabilidade e pessoal de recursos humanos. O estudo concluiu que comentários positivos ou negativos sobre candidatos a um emprego em DCHs têm um impacto significativo na perspectiva dos recrutadores em relação aos candidatos e são considerados recursos importantes nos processos de recrutamento para fornecer garantias. Os resultados da pesquisa oferecem uma contribuição prática ao revelar o efeito do conteúdo de mídia social de candidatos na escolha feita pelo recrutador em um processo seletivo.
