Abstract

Bu çalışmanın asıl amacı kongre turizmi katılımcılarının tercihi ve genel tatmini üzerinde, Beş Faktör Kişilik Özelliklerinin (Big Five) etkisini ortaya koymaktır. Öte yandan bu amaca bağlı olarak mevcut çalışma, katılımcıların tercih faktörlerinin onların genel tatmin düzeyleri üzerindeki etkisini de ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu çalışmanın örneklemi Türkiye'de turizm bölümlerinde faaliyet gösteren ve en az bir kongreye katılım sağlayan akademisyenlerden oluşmakta ve veriler Büyük beşli envanter, kongre tercih ve genel memnuniyet ölçekler aracılığıyla Mayıs-Kasım 2017 tarihleri arasındaki 6 aylık sürede birebir görüşmeler ve posta yoluyla elde edilmiştir. Tesadüfi olmayan örnekleme yöntemiyle online anketlerin mail atılmasıyla ve anketlerin elden teslim edilmesiyle toplamda 1168 anket dağıtılmış olup, analizlerde toplam 470 (yanıt oranı =% 40) anket kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın sonuçları göstermektedir ki; ulusal kongrelere katılım oranı, uluslararası kongrelere katılım oranından daha yüksekken; kongre katılım tercih unsurları ise eğlence, konferans faktörleri, maliyet, mesleki gelişim, altyapı, zaman maliyeti ve varış noktası şeklindedir. Büyük Beşli kişilik özellikleri olan dışa dönüklük, nevrotiklik, deneyime açıklık, uyumluluk ve sorumluluk/öz-denetim referansıyla, genel tatminin var olduğuna fakat büyük beşli kişilik özelliklerinin genel kongre tatmini üzerinde hiçbir etkisinin olmadığına ulaşılmıştır. Öte yandan büyük beşli kişilik özelliklerinin kongre katılım tercıh unsurları üzerinde de hiçbir etkisine ulaşılamamışken; kongre tercihi ve genel memnuniyet arasındaki korelasyona bağlı olarak çalışma sonucunda eğlence ile genel tatmin arasında pozitif, maliyet ile genel tatmin arasında ise negatif bir ilişki elde edilmiştir. T testi ve ANOVA sonuçlarına göre, kongre faktörlerinde iki cinsiyet arasinda farklılıklar elde edilmiştir. Tercih unsurlarinde ise yaşa akademik unvana ve deneyim süresine göre, anlamlı farklılıklar elde edilmiştir. Son olarak da ileride yapılacak araştırmalar için öneriler geliştirilmiştir.

Abstract

Recently, retraction has received considerable attention in several fields of research. The topic, however, remains neglected in the field of tourism and hospitality. The current investigation explores the current level of retraction in tourism and hospitality research. It also draws on the perceptions of the editors-in-chief of tourism and hospitality journals to understand their attitudes toward retraction. The findings reveal that retraction is quite rare in the field of tourism and hospitality (only 5 retracted articles were identified). Empirical evidence shows that editors-in-chief have mixed perceptions concerning the current level of retraction, varying between optimism and pessimism. Optimistic editors-in-chief agreed that the rareness of retraction is reflective of research integrity and identified awareness of the best practices in academic publishing, the youthfulness of tourism as an area of study, and the role of plagiarism detection software programs as significant factors. Pessimistic editors-in-chief were reluctant to consider the low retraction rate to be an indicator of a high level ofresearch integrity and they highlighted the difficulty of detecting malpractice, editors-in-chief’s unwillingness to engage in retraction, and the existence of unethical practices that do not lead to retraction. By identifying the retraction level and exploring the perceptions of editors-in-chief, the present study endeavours to track the progress, transparency, and integrity of tourism and hospitality research.
