dc.description.abstractIn the period referred to as the digital era, technological products dominate almost all facets of human life. Whiletechnology facilitates human life on one hand, it threatens health with electromagnetic radiation on the other.This study investigate the effects of electromagnetic radiation on health complaints and psychological anxietyand, accordingly, shopping malls were selected as areas of application because the electromagnetic radiation ishigh at such venues. In this study, the health and psychological complaints of employees working at shoppingmalls where the electromagnetic radiation is considered to be relatively high and of employees working insimilar sectors outside of shopping malls were measured and comparatively analysed. The study sample iscomposed of 347 employees in total, 174 of whom are employed at shopping malls in Adana province, and 173employed in stores located outside of shopping malls. It is seen that there is no statistically significant differencebetween the employees working inside and outside of the shopping malls in terms of health complaints (?? =.945 > .050) and psychological complaints (?? = .122 > .050). But the scale points related to the healthcomplaints of those working at shopping malls is slightly higher. The models set up in relation to the effect ofthe number of years worked by employees working at shopping malls on \"psychological complaints\" and \"healthcomplaints\" were found statistically significant (?? = 8.234; ?? = 4.174; ?? < .05). It is important to makemeasurements in shopping malls and to increase the practices to prevent personnel from having health andpsychological problems.
