As a result of lockdowns, tourism came to a halt, which has caused severe damages not only to tourism-related business but also aviation, hospitality sector, which resulted in unemployment, reduced work hours with minimum salary or temporary leave and even closure the businesses. As a result of the pandemic, 99 travel agencies liquidated their business activities and the revenues of 88 percent of the whole tourism sector reduced and 56 percent of employees were laid off. This paper analyses the impact of Work-related stress on the job satisfaction and organizational trust in the tourism sector during the unprecedented changes related to the Covid-19 pandemic. The survey was conducted online in April-May, 2021 and involved 275 employees working for different travel agencies. Numerous tests are used to verify the proposed hypothesis, such as factor analysis, reliability analysis, correlation analysis and PLS analysis. The results of the survey show that the Work-related stress caused by Covid-19 pandemic has a negative impact on job satisfaction and organizational trust among surveyed employees.

This study examines whether employees’ perceived safety, health, and security risks affected job satisfaction levels during the COVID-19 pandemic at Tanzanian airports. Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs Theory was used to analyze and understand the dynamics of perceived risks and job satisfaction. The research adopted a case study approach with Julius Nyerere International Airport (JNIA) as a case study because this airport is Tanzania’s busiest gateway and prominently exposed to international flights. Using a 10% rule of thumb, a target population of 130 employees and 25 employers was set as an adequate sample size from a total population of 1300 JNIA employees and all employers. The study utilized a non-probability sampling approach whereby a convenience sample was created in which the attending respondent identified the next respondent in a snowball sampling technique, although initial respondents were deliberately picked by the researcher. Questionnaires for employees and employers were developed and administered during the surveys and interviews, supplemented by a few focus group discussions. As interviews and discussions were being held, written documents and records were simultaneously collected. In the study, both quantitative and qualitative data were gathered and analyzed using basic statistical and narrative approaches, respectively. Research findings indicate that employees were affected by perceived risks and fears of highly contagious disease, which created anxiety among them, disrupted their social interactions, and generally decreased their work performance without significantly affecting their levels of job satisfaction. The main recommendation demands increased efforts by employers to mitigate perceived risks of pandemics on job satisfaction by introducing health programs, timely containment of pandemics, treating affected employees, improving employment salaries, benefits, and financial incentives, enhancing the security and safety of the work environment, and improving employees’ social cohesion. Study limitations included delayed research permissions, difficulties accessing busy and suspicious employees and employers, a lack of finances, and inadequate research time, which fortunately did not affect the quality of the work. The main delimitation of the study was the “security-sensitive” nature of the airport itself. This study has research and practical significance, with far-reaching implications for pandemic or public health and disaster management policies and labor and employment-related policies, and it is quite a resourceful tool among researchers and academicians in human resources management.
