Bu amaçla çalışmada, Türkiye'de otomotiv sektöründe faaliyet gösteren bir otomobil üreticisi olan firma mavi yaka çalışanlarının devamsızlıkları analiz edilmiştir.

Çalışmaya firmanın 479 mavi yaka çalışanı dahil edilmiştir. Çalışmada öne sürülen hipotezleri test etmek amacıyla iki farklı regresyon modeli oluşturulmuştur. Bu iki farklı regresyon modelinde sadece ikinci regresyon modelinin tutarlı görülmüştür.
