Bu çalışma ile otel işgörenlerinin demografik özelliklerinin ve psikolojik koşullarla ilgili algılarının işe tutkunluğa etkileri açıklanarak otel yöneticilerinin bilgi edinmesine ve etkin kararlar almasına yardımcı olunabilecek, akademik açıdan ise alanyazındaki eksikliklerin giderilmesine katkı sağlanabilecektir. Araştırma kapsamında Kuşadası bölgesindeki 4 ve 5 yıldızlı 392 otel personeline anket uygulanmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda psikolojik güvenlik, psikolojik uygunluk ve psikolojik anlamlılığın işe tutkunluk üzerinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ve pozitif etkiye sahip olduğu; demografik özelliklerin ise işe tutkunluk üzerinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir etkiye sahip olmadığı saptanmıştır
