Abstract
This electronic Hotel management in tourism is part
of the development of a country, and in this sector, the sales
and marketing department has been successfully transferred to
the business chain. Today, ergonomics is considered an
interdisciplinary science and has become an important part of
working life. It actively reflects the comfort of the employee in
the working area, the work system, the efforts, and
determination of the work to protect human health at the
workplace and minimize the possibility of an accident. If the
ergonomic conditions of the employees are to be controlled, it
can be achieved by increasing the safety and security of the
working conditions, the sense of belonging and property, by
reducing social and psychological disorders, and by improving
work performance. Thus, comfort, and therefore the risks of
work accidents are minimized.
The main purpose of this study was to examine the effect of
a boutique hotel in the Southeastern Turkey on gender
differences operating under possible ergonomic risk conditions.
For this purpose, an equal number of surveys were conducted
on male and female employees in order to obtain healthy
results in this field. In the analysis phase, a questionnaire based
on the variables of the environmental and psychological factors
of the ergonomic working conditions of the employees was
used. The questionnaire filled by the participants was evaluated
with the scores between 1 and 5, and the average scores of the
two factors were examined separately and the data were
compared. After the evaluation questionnaire, it is believed that
the parameters that pass the risk assessment for female and
male employees can be determined and measures can be
determined for the company by creating a healthy working
environment by shedding light on other studies in this field and
by arranging ergonomic risks.
