Are Female Employees Temporary Workers? A Study on Female’s Job Attitude and Intention to Quit


The success of businesses is only possible through the efforts of the employees who devote themselves to their jobs. For this reason, the decisions taken by business managers in employment and promotion policies are very important. The selection of candidates who can work in the company for many years, rather than those who apply for a temporary job, will contribute to the success of the company in the long term. Similarly, the promotion of the employees who have long-term plans for the company they work for and the promotion of them to important positions may increase the motivation of the employees who are committed on their job. Business managers may be reluctant to hire or promote women. Managers may not want to employ women or to promote available female employees to the higher positions for different reasons, especially due to home responsibilities of women. Because of the home responsibilities of women, it is thought that they will not be able to focus on their jobs as much as men, and be productive, nor can they work for a long time. In this study, male and female employees’ job attitudes and intention to quit are discussed. A questionnaire was conducted with employees working in businesses operating in Şırnak province. The T-Test was used to compare the mean of male and female employees with respect to job attitudes and intention to quit. As a result of the analysis, it was determined that the attitudes of female employees towards work and working conditions were more positive than male employees. In addition, it was found that female employees had lower intention to quit than male workers.
