Özet:

Increasing anxiety levels due to the Covid-19 risk perception of the employees and their thoughts about the resilience of the organization to economic conditions, combined with state anxiety, may trigger the intention to leave the job. In this study, the risk perceptions due to Covid-19, organizational resilience, state anxiety levels, and intention to leave of the IT sector employees in Turkey were investigated. 267 people participated in the research, and the data obtained were analyzed through SPSS 22 and AMOS 24 programs. According to the results, the effect of cognitive Covid-19 risk perception on intention to leave is negative, the affective Covid-19 risk perception, and the effect of state anxiety on intention to leave are positive. It has been found that cognitive Covid-19 risk perception has a negative effect on state anxiety, while affective Covid-19 risk perception has a positive effect. The mediating effect of state anxiety between Covid-19 risk perception and intention to leave is low-level positive. Finally, it has been concluded that organizational resilience perception positively regulates the decreased intention to leave while cognitive risk perception increases, and negatively regulates the increased intention to leave while affective Covid-19 risk perception increases.
