Zusammenfassung:This study aimed to investigate the determinants of financial stress experienced in working life during the COVID-19 pandemic process in Turkey, and also the role of the confidence placed for the government pandemic action policies in reducing financial stress. For this purpose, online survey data obtained from 414 employees were analyzed with multivariate statistical methods. As a result of the analysis, the significant effect of job insecurity and pay satisfaction on financial stress was determined. Although it was found that trust in the policies against pandemics was effective in reducing financial stress, a significant moderating effect of trust in policies was not found in the relationship of other factors with financial stress. It is recommended to prevent practices that may cause revenue and employment losses in businesses and closely monitor the steps taken to inhibit abuse in this area accordingly. Bu çalışmada Türkiye’de Covid-19 pandemisi sürecinde çalışma hayatında yaşanan finansal stresin belirleyicileri ve pandemiyle mücadele politikalarına duyulan güvenin finansal stresin azaltılmasındaki rolünün incelenmesi amaçlandı. 414 çalışandan elde edilen anket verisi çok değişkenli istatistiksel yöntemlerle analiz edilmiştir. Analiz sonucunda finansal stres üzerinde iş güvencesizliği ve ücret memnuniyetinin anlamlı etkisi tespit edimiştir. Pandemiyle mücadele politikalarına duyulan güvenin finansal stresin azaltılmasında etkili olduğu bulgusuna ulaşılmakla birlikte, diğer faktörlerin finansal stresle ilişkisinde anlamlı düzenleyici etkisi bulunamamıştır. Çalışma hayatında gelir ve istihdam kaybı yaratabilecek uygulamaların engellenmesi ve bu yöndeki politikaların suiistimale imkân vermeyecek ölçüde yakından takip edilmesi önerilmektedir.
