Abstract

Öz
Çalışmanın birincil amacı Türk turizm sektöründe halihazırda çalışan yöneticilerin vasıflarına uygun bir mesleği icra edip etmediklerini belirlemeye çalışmaktadır. Belirtilen hedef doğrultusunda, turizm endüstrisi yöneticilerine anket yöntemi uygulanmış ve sonuçlar analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmanın alt amacı ise çalışanların işe uygun vasıflara sahip elemanlar olup olmadıklarını tespit etmektedir. Ayrıca sektörde düşük verim söz konusu ise, bunun arkasında yatan nedenlerin ortaya konulması tasarlanmıştır.
Araştırmada kullanılan anketler, çoğunluğunun İstanbul ve İzmir'de çalıştığı turizm sektörünün 222 yöneticisine dağıtılmıştır. Konaklama işletmelerindeki 183 yönetici, seyahat acentelerindeki 22 yönetici ve yiyecek içecek işletmelerindeki 17 yönetici ile yüzyüze konuşularak anket formları doldurulmuştur. Toplam 52 sorudan oluşan anket hem yöneticiler, hem de çalıştıkları kurumlarla ilgili bilgi toplamaktadır. Bunun yanında, yöneticilerin uygun bir görev ve pozisyonda bulunup bulunmadıkları ile yetkilerini gereği gibi kullanıp kullanmadıkları da test edilmektedir.
