Positive mental health and occupational burnout in the tourism sector in Peru

“…It has been demonstrated, according to the results, that there is an inverse relationship of high and significant medium level between the variables positive mental health and occupational attrition; in this sense, it can be affirmed that the better the positive mental health, the lower the occupational attrition. The results of the research coincide with the findings of Cheng et al (2021), who found a negative effect on the mental health of female employees in the tourism sector in Taiwan, as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic; they also coincide with the study of Claudio-Quiroga et al (2022) who determined that the pandemic negatively affected the emotional stability of tourism employees in Spain, with the particularity that women were more sensitive and vulnerable to the crisis. Also Sönmez et al (2020) found that immigrant hotel and food service workers in the United States had high levels of chronic stress due to the impact of COVID-19, an effect that was intensified by social, political and economic inequalities; This context is similar to the Peruvian context, where political problems exacerbated the crisis in the tourism sector; thus, it is confirmed that the COVID-19 pandemic negatively affected the tourism industry globally and this critical state was maintained and even intensified in the post-pandemic (Moraes-Neves and Graciano, 2021).…”

Sun et al (2021) also find that, in Indonesia, employment vulnerability of women, youth, and low education workers defined in terms of job losses and unemployment is five times higher than the national average due to COVID-19 pandemic.…”
