KONTROLÜN OTEL İŞLETMELERİNDEKİ ROLÜ: BEŞ YILDIZLI OTELLER ÜZERİNE BiR ARAŞTIRMA

Günümüzde işletmelerin büyümesi ve faaliyetlerinin daha karmaşık hale gelmesi sonucunda ortaya çıkan bilgi edinme zorunluluğu gibi nedenler iç kontrol sistemine olan ihtiyacı gündeme getirmektedir. Dolayısıyla oluşabilecek risklerin en aza indirebilmesi için otel işletmelerinde etkin iç kontrol sisteminin kurulması gerekmektedir. Bu noktada araştırmanın temel amacı, otel yöneticilerinin iç kontrol sistemine yönelik algılarını belirlemek ve "gôrev aynmı ", "varlıkların korunması" ve "işlemlerin doğrulanması" bağımsız değişkenlerinin. "iç kontrol sistemi" bağımlı değişkeni üzerindeki etkisini incelemektir. Ayrıca araştırmada yöneticilerin iç kontrol sistemi algıları ile çeşitli demografik özellikleri arasındaki ilişkileri incelemek alt amaç olarak belirlenmiştir. Araştırma, Alanya Bölgesinde faaliyet gösteren beş yıldızlı otel işletmelerinde görevli olan 120 yöneticinin katılımı ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veriler anket tekniği aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda; "görevlerin ayrımı ", "varlıkların korunması" ve "işlemlerin doğrulanması" bağımsız değişkenleri ile yöneticilerin iç kontrol sistemi algıları arasında anlamlı bir farklılık olmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Bununla birlikte yöneticilerin iç kontrol sistem algılarının eğitim durumuna göre istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı olarak farklılaştığı sonucu elde edilmiştir.
