Abstract:

Purpose - This study is aimed at studying the effects of organizational stress on the health of the organization with an application done in thermal hotel enterprises. Method - The survey, which is the data collection tool, was implemented on the 471 occupants of the five-star 3 thermal hotel enterprise operating in the center of Afyonkarahisar province. Data analysis used frequency, percentage distribution, arithmetic average, standard deviation, Pearson correlation analysis, t-test and variance analysis. The study found that the overall stress level of workers in five-star thermal hotels was around 3 (X=3.15) in the Likert rating of 5, and the highest stress factors were "the characteristic of the work done" (X=3.25) and "the material possibilities" (X=3.21) . Workers’ organizational health perceptions can be evaluated positively above the average level (X=3,52). The study found a negative and strong relationship between organizational stress and organizational health (r = - 0,704). The study also found that women have a higher level of stress from men, young people from older people, and those who work in the front office department, compared to other departments. Discussions - The finding that there is a negative and strong relationship between organizational stress and organizational health means that with increased organizational stress, the organizational health is “strongly” declining. In this framework, it is important to implement strategies for organizational stress-reducing work to protect organizations from the possible negative consequences that will result in the deterioration of their organizational health.
