Kültürel çeşitlilik, denizcilerin gemideki operasyonel performanslarında önemli bir faktör haline gelmiştir. Gemiler çok uluslu mürettebat üyeleri tarafından işletildiğinden, çok kültürlü gemilerde çalışan denizciler için sosyalleşmek ve yabancı kültürleri anlamak çok önemli bir hal almıştır. Gemide kültürel çeşitlilik yönetimi, etkili bir iş gücüne ulaşmanın yanı sıra bu faydaları görünür kılmak ve kuruluşun bunları bir rekabet avantajı olarak kullanmasına izin vermek açısından oldukça önemlidir. Ancak kültürel çeşitlilik, avantajlarının yanı sıra iletişim hataları ve kültürel yanlış anlamalar gibi bazı zorlukları da beraberinde getirmektedir. Deniz kazalarının sebeplerinin başında insan unsurunun geldiği düşünüldüğünde, kültürel çeşitliliğin yarattığı zorluklar deniz kazalarında artışa neden olma potansiyeline sahiptir. Çok kültürlü gemilerde mürettebat yönetimi, istenmeyen etkileri sınırlamak için titizlikle yürütülmelidir. Çalışmamız, çok kültürlü mürettebata sahip gemilerde çalışmaya en uygun gemiadamı profili hakkında daha iyi bir görüş ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır. Hazırlanan anket bu amaçla çok kültürlü gemilerde görev yapan stajyer ve zabitlere uygulanmış ve bulgular bağımsız t-testi analizi ile değerlendirilmiştir.

Cultural Diversity Onboard: A Study About Crew Characteristics

Cultural diversity became a significant factor in seafarers’ operational performance onboard. Since ships are operated by multinational crew members, socializing, and understanding foreign cultures became crucial for seafarers working onboard multicultural ships. Diversity management is essential for achieving an effective workforce, as well as making these benefits visible and allowing the organization to leverage them as a competitive advantage. However, apart from its advantages, diversity brought some challenges such as communication errors and cultural misunderstandings. Considering the human element is the primary factor among the maritime accident causations, challenges caused by cultural diversity has the potential to cause a raise in maritime accidents. Crew management onboard multicultural ships should be rigorously carried out to limit unwanted impacts. Our study aims to have a better view on optimal seafarer profile suitable to work onboard ships having multicultural crew members. The prepared questionnaire was administered to interns and officers worked aboard multicultural ships for this purpose, and the findings were evaluated using independent t-test analysis.
