Teori olayları açıklama ve tahmin etme yeteneği sayesinde bilimsel anlayışı arttırmaktadır. Bir araştırmanın bilimsel ve nitelikli kabul edilebilmesi için bir teoriden besleniyor olması önemli bir gerekliliktir Teorinin bilimsel araştırmalardaki rolü göz önüne alındığında ulusal turizm araştırmalarında teori kullanımı konusu merak uyandırmıştır. Belirli bir disiplini daha iyi anlamak için o alandaki araştırmalara yön veren teorileri tespit etmek önemlidir. Buradan hareketle, 2016 ve 2020 yılları arasında ULAKBİM TR Dizin veri tabanında yer alan ve turizm disiplini kapsamında yayınlanan dergilerdeki makaleler teori kullanımı bağlamında içerik analizi yöntemiyle incelenmiştir. Son beş yılda ilgili dergilerde yayınlanan toplam 1792 makalenin 171’inin teoriye/teorilere dayalı olarak gerçekleştirildiği görülmüştür. Sosyal Değişim Teorisi, Planlı Davranış Teorisi, Liderlik Teorileri, Kişilik Teorileri, Adalet Teorisi gibi teorilerin ulusal turizm araştırmalarında en sık kullanılan teoriler olduğu tespit edilmiştir.

Theory Usage in Research: An Investigation within the Scope of National Tourism Research

Öz

Theory increases scientific understanding through its ability to explain and predict phenomenons, events etc. In order for research to be considered as scientific and qualified, theoretical background is important. Considering the importance of theory in a scientific research, theory usage in the scope of national tourism research aroused curiosity. To better understand a particular discipline, it is necessary to identify the theories that guide research. Based on this, articles in the tourism journals within ULAKBİM TR Index, which were published between 2016 and 2020, were examined by content analysis. It was detected that 171 of 1792 articles include theoretical basis. Furthermore, theories such as Social Exchange Theory, Theory of Planned Behavior, Leadership Theory, Personality Theory, Justice Theory are most frequently used theories in the scope of national tourism research.
