The Perceptions of Hotel Managers on Using Renewable Energy In Turkey

Abstract

This study aims to find out the perceptions of managers in 4-5 hotels on using renewable energy and whether they show a significant difference for hotel category, establishment date, hotel staff, hotel type, whether they have green star or the hotel has a technical department in the organizational structure. Survey method, a quantitative approach, was used in the study. The sample consisted of 395 managers in 4-5 star hotels in Turkey. "The Scale of Perceptions of Using Renewable Energy Systems" developed by Türkmenoğlu (2016) was used to collect the data of the study. The obtained data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t test and one way ANOVA. According to the findings, the respondents' perceived value of renewable energy use was above the average (3, 6883). Also, 5 star hotels, resort hotels, the ones with technical department, hotels with more staff and the hotels whose establishment date are older have a significantly higher perceptions of renewable energy use compared to the other groups.
