Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between human resource management (HRM) practices bundles and organizational commitment, and find answers for questions on which of these bundles contribute how to the employees’ performance and loyalty according to their demographic characteristics in maritime market. Design/methodology/approach Two separate surveys were applied to 104 employees of international maritime companies. Factor and reliability analyses were carried out to ensure the surveys’ validity and reliability. Then, correlation analysis was conducted to determine whether there is a relationship between HRM practices and organizational commitment. Finally, independent groups t-test was used to determine if perceptions of employees on HRM practices and their organizational commitment vary according to their demographic characteristics. Findings Moderate positive and negative linear relationships between HRM practices bundles and organizational commitment were found. Also, significant differences between the organizational commitment levels of employees and their perceptions on the effects of HRM practices to their performance were determined. Research limitations/implications Surveys were conducted only on Turkish employees in maritime sector and companies only that published annual and social responsibility report were examined. Practical implications HR managers should pay attention on HRM practices bundles to increase the level of employee’s organizational commitment and performance. While doing this, they also should take their employees’ demographic characteristics on account. This study can give clues about management of employees with different perceptions on performance and commitment. Originality/value The authors add the literature by identifying the link between HRM practices bundles and organizational commitment. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study, which reveals the link between HRM practices bundles and organizational commitment dimensions, separately. Also, an original new questionnaire was produced, which measures the employees’ perceptions on the effects of HRM practices to performance.
Türkiye kıyı turizmi yanı sıra, alternatif turizm gibi turizm türleri açısından da çeşitli imkanlara sahiptir. Turizm türlerinin çeşitliliği göz önüne alındığında turizm yatırım planlamalarında tek bir turizm türü yerine birden fazla turizm çeşidini içeren turizm koridorları oluşturulmasının gerekliliği ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bu çalışma kapsamında Türkiye'nin turist portföyü ile yatçı portföyü incelenmiş ve bu iki sektörün paralellik gösterip göstermediği analiz edilmiştir. Böyle bir analiz ile yatçılık ve marinacılık alanlarında yapılacak yatırımlarda ülkelerin genel turizm önceliklerinin ne oranda dikkate alınması gerektiği hususunda fikir oluşturması amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada Türkiye'nin turizm ve yatçılık sektörleri sırası ile incelenmiştir. Bu kapsamda T.C. Turizm ve Kültür Bakanlığı'ndan elde edilen 1990 ile 2015 yılları arasında Türkiye'yi ziyaret eden turist ve yat miktarlarına istinaden çizilen serpilme diyagramı ile bahse konu iki değişken arasında pozitif doğrusal ilişki olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Müteakiben her iki veri setine korelasyon analizi uygulanmış ve anılan sektörler arasında orta ve yüksek seviyede doğrusal bir ilişkinin olduğu ortaya konulmuştur.
