OpenAlex English

This study aims to determine the effects of education quality perception on career process. The positive developments in tourism flows cause tourism employment to gain importance as an economic phenomenon day by day. However, negativities in matters such as working conditions and personal rights reveal an important problem such as employee turnover rates for tourism employment. It can be concluded that education quality is an important factor in both meeting the qualified personnel need of the tourism industry and decreasing the personnel turnover rate. In the study in which quantitative research methods were used, the questionnaire was preferred as the data collection tool. A total of 436 questionnaires were obtained from tourism students in Turkey. The research revealed the linear relationship between education quality perception and career decidedness. It was concluded that students who have positive perceptions about the quality of their education have low profession change tendency.
