O presente estudo avalia o impacto da pandemia de COVID-19 na saúde e no bem-estar dos trabalhadores do turismo na Jordânia, investigando ameaças do coronavírus, impactos financeiros, impactos nos recursos, isolamento social, depressão e controle pessoal experimentados pelos trabalhadores do turismo durante a pandemia, e como as ameaças e impactos do coronavírus afetam a saúde e o bem-estar dos trabalhadores. Um método de pesquisa quantitativa foi aplicado através de questionário. Os dados foram recolhidos de uma amostra de 400 trabalhadores do turismo na Jordânia. Os resultados demonstram que os trabalhadores do turismo estão financeiramente tensos, socialmente isolados, psicologicamente deprimidos, experimentando uma falta de controle pessoal, e têm recursos limitados devido ao temor da pandemia e dos seus impactos negativos. Verificou-se também que um efeito direto negativo significativo das ameaças percecionadas do vírus e impactos na depressão e controle pessoal dos trabalhadores teve uma influência significativa na saúde dos trabalhadores. O presente estudo propôs um modelo da influência do coronavírus na saúde e bem-estar dos trabalhadores do turismo através do seu controle pessoal e depressão.
