TÜRK ZABİTRLERİN DENİZ HİZMETİNDEN SONRAKİ KARİYER TERCİHİLERİ

Bu çalışmada, lisans düzeyinde STCW A-II/1 ve A-III/1 yeterliliğine sahip Türk zabitlerinin denizcilik sonrası kariyerleri araştırılmış ve yeni kariyer tercihleri incelenmiştir. Yüksek maaşlı bir meslek olması, Türk zabitlerinin denizcilik mesleğini tercih etmelerindeki başlıca nedenlerden biri olarak tespit edilmiştir. Türk denizcilerinin gemide çalışma süreleri incelenmiş ve bu sürelerin kısalığının dikkat çekici olduğu görülmüştür. Bu durum, aile gibi etkenler sebebiyle kariyer planlamasının düzgün yapılmadığını ve Filipinlilere oranla daha az deniz hizmeti yaptıklarını ortaya koymaktadır. Bu nedenle doğru planlanmış kariyer yönetimi, hem kurumların amaçlarına hem de çalışanların beklentilerine hizmet etmektedir. Araştırmalar ayrıca sektör çalışanlarının önemli bir çoğunluğunun aynı sektörde deniz hizmetinden sonra ikinci bir kariyere sahip olmayı hedeflediğini göstermektedir. Türk zabitlerinin sektörün kara tarafında çalışmak istemesi denizcilik sektörü için oldukça dikkat çekici bir sonuçtur. Verilerin elde edilmesinde anket yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen verilerin analizinde SPSS 22 programında yer alan regresyon modeli kullanılmıştır. Bu çalışma sonucunda Türk denizcilerinin büyük çoğunluğunun deniz hizmetlerinden sonra genel olarak denizcilik sektöründe çalıştığı gözlemlenmiştir.

CAREER PREFERENCE OF THE TURKISH OFFICERS AFTER SEA SERVICE

In this study, the post-maritime careers of Turkish officers who have STCW A-II/1 and A-III/1 qualification at the undergraduate level were investigated, and their new career preferences were examined. The high salary profession has been identified as one of the main reasons why Turkish officers prefer the maritime profession. Turkish seafarers’ working periods on the ship were examined, and the shortness of these durations was observed to be noteworthy. This situation shows that due to not properly career planning, it is seen that they do less sea service because of factors such as family etc. than Filipinos. Therefore, properly planned career management serves both the goals of the institutions and the expectations of the employees. Studies also have shown that a significant majority of the sector's employees aim to have a second career after sea service in the same sector. It is a very remarkable result for the maritime industry that Turkish officers want to work on shore base of the sector. The survey method was used to obtain the data. The regression model in SPSS 22 program was used in the analysis of the obtained data. As a result of this study, it has been observed that most of the Turkish seafarers generally work in the maritime sector after sea services.
