Abstract

Kamu kurumlarında rekreasyon uzmanları çok sınırlı düzeyde istihdam edilmektedir. Kamu kurumlarında istihdam kısıtlamaları rekreasyon bölümü mezunlarını özel sektöre yönlendirmektedir. Bu durum rekreasyon bölümü mezunlarının niteliklerinin özel sektörün rekreasyon uzmanında aradığı özelliklerle örtüşmesini gerektirmektedir. Bu gereklilik doğrultusunda araştırmanın amacı, Türkiye'de rekreasyon sektöründe istihdam edilecek rekreasyon bölümü mezunlarında aranan temel özellikleri belirlemektir. Araştırmada ölçüt örnekleme yöntemi ile belirlenen 9 katılımcıyla yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırma grubu; spor rekreasyonu, turizm rekreasyonu, alışveriş rekreasyonu, park rekreasyonu, macera rekreasyonu ve açık hava rekreasyonu hizmetleri veren ve istihdam oranı yüksek işletmelerin üst düzey yöneticilerinden oluşmaktadır. Görüşmeler sonucunda elde edilen veriler üzerinde nitel veri analizi yöntemlerinden içerik analizi yapılmıştır. Araştırma bulguları incelendiğinde rekreasyon mezunlarında aranan özelliklerin beş alt tema altında toplandığı görülmektedir. Ortaya çıkan özellikler, eğitim programlarının yeniden düzenlenmesinde ve istihdam süreçlerinde bir rehber olarak kullanılabilir. Bu çalışmada rekreasyon bölümü mezunlarının endüstride ihtiyaç duyulan temel özellikleri ve rekreasyon bölümü eğitim programlarının geliştirilmesi konusunda öneriler sunulmuştur.

Main Qualifications Required for Employment of Recreation Experts: The Perspective of Sector Representatives

Year 2021, Volume: 5 Issue: 1, 31 - 41, 30.12.2021

Abstract

Recreation experts are employed in public institutions at a very limited level. Employment limitations in the public institutions direct the graduates of the recreation department to the private sector. This situation necessitates that the qualifications of the recreation department graduates must coincide with the characteristics that the private sector sought in the recreation expert. In line with this requirement, the aim of the research is to determine the basic characteristics required of the recreation department graduates to be employed in the recreation industry in Turkey. In the study, semi-structured interviews were conducted with the participants who were determined by the criterion sampling method. The research group consists of senior managers of businesses that provide sports recreation, tourism recreation, shopping recreation, park recreation, adventure recreation and outdoor recreation services with a high number of employment. Content analysis, one of the qualitative data analysis methods, was conducted on the data obtained as a result of the interviews. When the research findings are examined, it is seen that the characteristics sought in recreation graduates are gathered under five themes. The resulting features can be used as a guide in the recomposition of training programs and in the employment processes. In this study, suggestions are presented on the basic characteristics of recreation department graduates needed in industry and the development of recreation department education programs.
