Özet
Working as a married couple in the same workplace has its own unique and different aspects. This situation can be a challenging and difficult experience for couples and may also cause discomfort for other stakeholders in the workplace. Although its prevalence in Turkey is not clearly known, there has been an observed increase in married couples' demand to work in the same workplace. The purpose of this qualitative research is to examine the experiences of married couples working in the same workplace. For this purpose, we conducted interviews with 14 participants (4 = male, 10 = female) aged between 32 and 50. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the data obtained from the interviews and as a result, three main themes were identified: Invisible costs, Support and solidarity, Professional relationship. We believe that the findings of this study will contribute to the literature on the feelings and experiences of married couples working in the same workplace and finally, we offer recommendations to couples, employers and organizational psychologists.
