Öz

Yoğun bir rekabetin olduğu havayolları sektöründe havayolu işletmeleri, diğer işletmelerden çok daha fazla kuralları olan ve standart prosedürleri olan bir sektörde faaliyetlerini sürdürmek zorundadırlar. İşletmelerde önemli bir stratejik yönetim aracı olarak misyon ve vizyon beyanlarına hem literatürde hem de uygulamada önem atfedilmiştir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, önceki çalışmalardan elde edilen bulguları güncellemek için literatür taraması ile mevcut Türkiye’deki ve dünyadaki havayolu işletmelerindeki misyon, vizyon beyanlarının ve değer ifadelerinin içeriğini incelemektir. Bu amaçla ulusal ve uluslararası literatür taraması çerçevesinde havayolu işletmelerinin misyon, vizyon beyanlarının ve değer ifadelerinin içerik analizine odaklanmıştır. Kasti örnekleme yöntemi ile seçilen havayolu işletmelerinin misyon, vizyon beyanları ve değer ifadelerinin analizi için içerik analizi yöntemine başvurulmuştur.
