Abstract
The most important determinant of quality and safety in ship management
is human resources. Personnel turnover rate, job satisfaction level of
seafarers, organizational commitment, high level and individual
well-being of the employees have an important role in ensuring quality
and safety. In many investigor studies, it is seen in the results of
research that favoritism increases job stress, personnel turnover rate
and decreases job satisfaction, organizational commitment, motivation
and teamwork Favoritism has a negative impact on safe and quality
management of ships. Based on this importance, seafarers’ perceptions
were measured, and it was aimed to develop a valid and reliable
favoritism scale. The scale questions, which were prepared on the basis
of semi-structured interviews and favoritism studies, were applied with
252 different seafarers. As a result of the factor analyses conducted in
SPSS 23, a 22-item favoritism scale consisting of three factors related
to demographic and personal characteristics, social rights and
opportunities and operational processes was developed. The reliability
and validity studies of the scale were conducted, and it was observed
that the scale has high reliability. Amos 21 programında doğrulama
