Abstract
[Autom. eng. transl.] Introduction. During the COVID-19 pandemic, it is
been highlighted, both globally and nationally, a
increase in voluntary resignations (1). The impact in Italy
This phenomenon is not yet well documented, it is known
However, it mainly concerns young people between 25 and
45 years of age, and employees with seniority in the company for 1
at 5 years (2). Among the reasons mainly given for
resignations are: changes in the job market,
the search for better economic conditions, research
a greater balance between private and work life,
the hostile work environment (2).
Goals. The objective of this study is to
investigate social, demographic and cultural characteristics
of young people who voluntarily resigned during
the COVID-19 pandemic. The secondary objectives
they are also to establish the motivations, the contributing causes, and the
time period in which this phenomenon reached
its larger dimensions.
Methods. The study conducted is observational
transversal. A questionnaire was administered to a
convenience sample reflecting the population
target (young people between 25 and 45 who have resigned
volunteers during the pandemic). The questionnaire
it was composed of 9 questions of a sociodemographic nature
(gender, age, geographical area, etc) and 7 questions aimed at
investigate the reasons and period of resignation. AND
a descriptive statistical analysis of the variables was carried out
and correlation analyzes using the software
STATA16.
Results. The sample was 72 young people, of which 41
(56.9%) women. 50% (n=36) of participants had not
never contracted COVID-19 and almost all (n=69,
95.8%) had received the third dose of vaccination
anti-COVID-19. Forty-two subjects had found a
new job after resignation (58.3%). The main cause
of resignation was job dissatisfaction
(n=28, 38.9%); while the future perspective that has more
influenced the decision to resign
that of seeking more favorable economic conditions
(n=20, 27.8%), followed by the search for a better balance
between private and working life (n=18, 25.0%). Many gods
participants (n=21, 29.2%), although intending to resign,
had not yet resigned, while the participants
already discharged were mainly concentrated in the
periods of July-December 2020 (n=13, 18.1%) and January-June 2021 (n=12, 16.7%). For 62.5% of participants
(n=45) resigning was the best decision. It was highlighted
a statistically significant correlation between
the qualification and having been vaccinated for COVID-19
(p<0.05), and between having been vaccinated and the cause for which you got it
he decided to resign (p<0.05). The correlation between being
resigned and think that resigning was the decision
better was significant (p<0.05).
Conclusion. The phenomenon of resignation among young people
workers in Italy counts among its main causes
job dissatisfaction, and the prospects that
the more they push young people to resign they are looking for
more favorable economic conditions, accompanied by
a greater balance between private and work life.
