Bu çalışmada üniversite öğrencilerinin öz yeterlilik düzeylerinin, kariyer stresi üzerindeki hem doğrudan hem de mesleki sonuç beklentisi aracılığıyla dolaylı etkisi araştırılmıştır. Araştırmanın kuramsal altyapısında Sosyal Bilişsel Kariyer Kuramı (Social Cognitive Career Theory - SCCT) temel alınmış ve öz yeterliliğin hem doğrudan kariyer stresine hem de mesleki sonuç beklentisi üzerinden dolaylı etkisi test edilmiştir. Öz yeterliliği ölçmek amacıyla Sherer ve arkadaşları (1982), mesleki sonuç beklentisini ölçmek amacıyla McWhirter, Rasheed ve Crothers (2000), kariyer stresini ölçmek amacıyla ise Choi ve arkadaşlarının (2011) geliştirdiği ölçeklerden yararlanılmıştır. Araştırma, Alanya Alaaddin Keykubat Üniversitesi Gazipaşa Havacılık ve Uzay Bilimleri Fakültesi ile Mustafa Rahmi Büyükballı Meslek Yüksekokulu’na kayıtlı toplam 392 havacılık öğrencisiyle yürütülmüştür. Veriler klasik yüz yüze anket tekniği ile toplanmış; analizlerde SPSS ve Andrew Hayes’in PROCESS makro eklentisi kullanılmıştır. Yapılan analiz sonuçlarına göre öz yeterliliğin hem mesleki sonuç beklentisi hem de kariyer stresi üzerinde anlamlı ve doğrudan etkisi olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca öz yeterliliğin mesleki sonuç beklentisi aracılığıyla kariyer stresi üzerinde dolaylı ve istatistiksel olarak anlamlı etkisi olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bu bulgular, bireylerin kariyer sürecinde öz yeterlilik algılarının ve olumlu mesleki beklentilerinin stres yönetiminde kritik bir rol oynadığını ortaya koymaktadır.

This study investigates the environmental and economic dynamics of sustainable aviation through the perspectives of senior executives in Türkiye’s civil aviation sector. As global aviation continues to face increasing pressure to decarbonize, understanding how industry leaders perceive and respond to carbon emission challenges is critical. The research employs a qualitative methodology based on semi-structured interviews with ten executives across airlines, airports, and aviation authorities. Using Python-based data mining techniques and thematic analysis, three core themes emerged: (1) sustainable aviation experience and economic dimensions; (2) carbon emissions reduction and efficient aviation systems; (3) sustainable energy and alternative fuel technologies. Findings reveal that while environmental sustainability is a growing concern, operational costs, technological constraints, and regulatory uncertainties significantly influence implementation. Stakeholders emphasized the importance of coordinated action among governments, industry, and international organizations, especially in scaling Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAFs) and enhancing infrastructure for electric and hydrogen-powered aircraft. The study concludes that achieving net-zero aviation by 2050 requires an integrated approach that balances technological innovation, policy incentives, and stakeholder engagement. This multidimensional insight contributes to the ongoing discourse on low-carbon transition strategies in aviation, offering policy-relevant implications for developing countries.

Ticaret ve alış verişin insanlık tarihi kadar eski olduğunu söylemek mümkündür. Tarih boyunca insanlar temel ihtiyaçlarını karşılayabilmek için birbirlerinin sanat, zanaat ve üretiminden de faydalanmış ve bir ticaret kültürü var olmaya ve gelişmeye başlamıştır. Kurumlar ellerinde bulundurdukları mevcut müşterilere ilaveten müşteri portföylerini daha da artırmak için farklı programlar geliştirmişlerdir. Havacılık sektöründe de müşteri sadakati önemlidir. Ortak amaç ve hedefler doğrultusunda zamanla birbirlerinin merkezlerinden, mevcut müşteri-yolcu networkundan faydalanmak isteyen havayolları farklı ittifaklar oluşturmuştur. Dünya havacılığında üç büyük havayolları ittifakından bahsetmek mümkündür. Bunlar; 1) Oneworld 2) Skyteam 3) Star Alliance’dır. Körfez taşıyıcıları olarak bilinen Etihad, Emirates ve Qatar Havayollarının diğer üç büyük havayolu ittifakında olduğu gibi bir ittifak oluşturup bu çerçevede müşteri sadakat programları geliştirmeleri, “Körfez İttifakı” şeklinde bir havacılık ittifakı modeli önerisinin bu çalışma ile sunulması amaçlanmaktadır. Kalitatif analiz yöntemlerinden biri olan derinlemesine mülakat görüşmesi ile çalışma sonunda amaçlanan “Körfez İttifakı” model önerisine temel teşkil edecek şekilde veri elde edilmesi amaçlanmaktadır.

Airline firms operate in a context characterized by high operational interdependence, low tolerance for error, and strong stakeholder visibility, making the organizational consequences of crises highly salient. This study examines the relationship between perceived crisis management quality and corporate reputation perception in airline organizations and tests the moderating role of leadership behavior in this relationship. The research was conducted with data collected from cabin crew members employed by civil airline companies operating in Türkiye. A total of 425 valid questionnaires were obtained, and the main analyses were carried out with 408 respondents based on complete responses for the focal variables. Measurement models were assessed through confirmatory factor analysis, while the relationships among variables were tested using Pearson correlation and hierarchical regression analyses. The findings indicate that perceived crisis management quality positively predicts corporate reputation perception. In addition, democratic leadership behavior strengthens this relationship, whereas autocratic and laissez-faire leadership behaviors weaken it. These results suggest that the reputational value of crisis management in airline organizations depends not only on technical and operational preparedness but also on the quality of the leadership climate in which crisis processes are carried out.

This study examines the relationship between perceived time pressure and decision-making styles among air cargo workers. Air cargo operations require speed, accuracy, procedural compliance, and coordination within a safety-critical environment. Drawing on bounded rationality and dual-process perspectives, the study evaluates rational, intuitive, dependent, avoidant, and spontaneous decision-making styles separately. A quantitative, cross-sectional, and correlational design was used. Data were collected through an online survey from 240 operational employees working in air cargo companies in Türkiye. Confirmatory factor analysis assessed construct validity, and internal consistency coefficients assessed reliability. Hypotheses were tested through correlation and hierarchical regression analyses. Perceived time pressure was negatively associated with rational decision-making and positively associated with intuitive, dependent, avoidant, and spontaneous decision-making. Contrary to the initial hypothesis, its positive association with dependent decision-making suggests that seeking advice or approval may serve coordination and risk-sharing functions in air cargo operations. The results do not indicate a simple shift from analytical to intuitive processing. They reveal a multidimensional pattern in which several decision tendencies become salient together. The study extends decision-making style and dual-process perspectives by showing that operational pressure is associated with the joint salience of cognitive, social, and action-oriented tendencies. It also suggests that the meaning of dependent decision-making may vary across organizational contexts.
