Özet:

 In addition to difficult working conditions, women employees in business life may face many problems caused by a gender-based approach. The aim of this study is to identify the problems faced by female trainees in the tourism sector and to determine whether these problems affect their career orientation. In the study, while revealing the problems faced by female interns in the sector, suggestions were tried to be presented in order to minimize these problems. In the study, semi-structured interview technique was used as a data collection method within the scope of qualitative research methods. It was obtained from female interns who received undergraduate education at the Department of Tourism Guidance of Ondokuz Mayıs University. The participants consisted of eight women, six of whom have completed internships at a hotel, two of whom have completed internships at an agency. Depending on the data provided, it has been revealed that trainee women have experienced problems such as long working hours, disdain due to being an intern, and the weight of the workload, especially harassment and mobbing. Such problems have caused a desire to change the field of work in the sector from place to place. Nevertheless, it has been seen that there is no question of giving up the profession completely and cooling down in career intentions. Suggestions are presented in the conclusion part of the research for the solution of the problems experienced.

 İş yaşamında kadın işgörenler zorlu çalışma şartlarının yanında, cinsiyetçi bir algıdan kaynaklanan birçok sorunla da karşılaşabilmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, kadın stajyerlerin turizm sektöründe karşılaştıkları problemleri ortaya koyarak, bu sorunların kariyer yönelimlerine etki edip etmediğinin belirlenmesidir. Çalışmada kadın stajyerlerin sektörde karşılaştıkları problemleri ortaya koyarken, bu sorunları en aza indirgemek için ilgili öneriler sunulmaya çalışılmıştır. Çalışmada veri toplama yöntemi olarak görüşme tekniğinden faydalanılmıştır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda görüşme verileri Ondokuz Mayıs Üniversitesinde lisans düzeyinde eğitim alan kadın stajyer öğrencilerden elde edilmiştir. 8 kişiden oluşan, 6sı otelde, 2si acentada staj yapmış katılımcılardan hareketle araştırma sonuçlarına göre stajyer kadınların özellikle taciz ve mobbing başta olmak üzere, uzun çalışma saatleri, stajyer olmaya bağlı olarak küçümsenme, iş yükünün ağırlığı gibi problemler yaşadıkları ortaya koyulmuştur. Bu gibi problemler yer yer sektörde çalışma alanını değiştirme isteği doğurmuştur. Fakat yine de kariyer niyetlerinde meslekten tamamen vazgeçme ve soğuma söz konusu olmadığı görülmüştür. Yaşanılan sorunların çözümü için araştırmanın sonuç kısmında öneriler sunulmuştur.
