Abstract:

 The measures and practices taken for occupational health and safety in organizations aim to create a healthy and safe working environment. Occupational safety culture also plays an important role in creating this environment. Safety culture, which is considered a subcomponent of organizational culture, is the set of values, beliefs, attitudes and behaviors shared by employees in an organization regarding safety. The purpose of this research is to determine the safety culture perception levels of employees in hotel businesses and to determine whether there is a difference in terms of demographic variables. In this study, in which the quantitative research method was preferred, descriptive and relational scanning design was used. The data were collected by questionnaire technique and analyzed in SPSS 25.0 statistical program. As a result of the analysis, it was determined that the safety culture perception levels of the employees were high and the general perception of the safety culture differed according to the age and education variable.

 Örgütlerde iş sağlığı ve güvenliğine yönelik alınan önlemler ve uygulamalar sağlıklı ve güvenli bir çalışma ortamının oluşturulmasını amaçlamaktadır. İş güvenliği kültürü de bu ortamın yaratılmasında önemli bir görev üstlenmektedir. Örgüt kültürünün bir alt bileşeni olarak kabul edilen güvenlik kültürü bir kurumda çalışanların güvenlikle ilgili paylaştığı değerler, inançlar, tutumlar ve davranışlar bütünüdür. Bu araştırmanın amacı, otel işletmelerinde çalışanların güvenlik kültürü algı düzeylerini tespit etmek ve demografik değişkenler açısından bir farklılık olup olmadığını belirlemektir. Nicel araştırma yönteminin tercih edildiği bu çalışmada betimsel ve ilişkisel tarama deseni kullanılmıştır. Veriler anket tekniği ile toplanmış ve SPSS 25.0 istatistik programında analiz edilmiştir. Yapılan analiz sonucunda güvenlik kültürü algı düzeyinin yüksek seviyede olduğu ve güvenlik kültürü genel algısının yaş ve eğitim değişkenine göre farklılık gösterdiği belirlenmiştir.
