As oil and its derivatives </p> <p style="margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:11.2px;">transported by tankers is the fundamental component for developing industries, its </p> <p style="margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:11.2px;">transportation becomes an indispensable issue. Though petroleum and chemical </p> <p style="margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:11.2px;">transportation is important for all industries, due to its structural properties, these </p> <p style="margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:11.2px;">cargoes include major risks for the environment. There have been some enforcement </p> <p style="margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:11.2px;">and impositions to the tanker operating ship management companies to minimize </p> <p style="margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:11.2px;">these risks. Herein, MOC (Major Oil Companies), the most important players in the </p> <p style="margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:11.2px;">world petroleum industry, has made such impositions on tanker operating ship </p> <p style="margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:11.2px;">management companies. Enforcement and impositions on human factor which is the </p> <p style="margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:11.2px;">most significant element in a business has a critical importance to minimize these </p> <p style="margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:11.2px;">risks. Thus, this study aims to reveal the effects of MOC on the personnel selection </p> <p style="margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:11.2px;">criteria of the ship management companies that operate tankers. To achieve this aim, </p> <p style="margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:11.2px;">a total of 12 companies operating in Turkey and having largest fleet were selected. </p> <p style="margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:11.2px;">An interview was conducted through these companies and the data obtained were </p> <p style="margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:11.2px;">analyzed by content analysis of qualitative research methods. As a result, it is </p> <p style="margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:11.2px;">revealed that major oil companies have an impact on personnel selection process </p> <p style="margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:11.2px;">and activities. Generally, these effects have been about duration of the contract, the </p> <p style="margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:11.2px;">number of crew required to be on board, company internal promotion procedures, </p> <p style="margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:11.2px;">recruitment process of new employees to the company, and crew training. </p>}, number={2}, publisher={Dokuz Eylul University}
