Abstract :The purpose of this study is to analyze the hospitality industry employees’ job embeddedness in the Turkish context and to determine its relationship with community, organization, and demographic variables. For this study, the questionnaire survey method was conducted on 210 employees who work at five-star hotels in Alanya. Factor analysis demonstrated as a result a three-factor structure: “organization-related sacrifice”, “fit to organization” and “fit to community”. The findings of this study showed that there were significant differences between the dimensions of “fit to organization” and “fit to community” and community- and organization-related questions. Among the demographic questions, job position, income level, and age were related to all dimensions of job embeddedness.
