Abstract

The aim of this study is to analyze the employees of the low cost carriers (LCC) and Full Service Carriers (FSC) personal traits, organizational indentification and Turnover. The research data were collected by the Personality Traits Scale and Turnover Scale. The sample consisted of 175 working in the LCC business model and 175 working in the FSC business model. The models obtained by the path analysis for the research variables were statistically tested and fit indices were investigated for each model. It was determined that the Organizational Identification (OI) has a full mediating effect on the relationship between the Emotinonal Stability (ES) and the Turnover (TO) in the LCC business model. In the same way, employees working in the full service airline business model; In the effect of ES variable on TO variable, OI variable was determined to have full mediating effect. When structural equation model is applied to the data obtained from all partipicipants, it is determined that the OI variable has a partial mediating effect on the effect of the Conscientiousness (C) on the TO. It can be thought that the research findings will contribute to airline human resources professionals and researchers in strategic planning.
