    The causality analysis of air transport and socio-economics factors: the case of OECD countries
    (Elsevier, 2017) Küçükönal, Hatice; Sedefoğlu, Gülşah; Professional Flight Program; Aviation Management; Kazda, A.; Smojver, I.; KÜÇÜKÖNAL, Hatice; SEDEFOĞLU, Gülşah
    Air transport is one of the most important industries in the world with its rapid growth, and direct and indirect contribution to world economy. In other words, GDP, tourism and employment are the key factors causing that growth in air transport and an increase in those factors boost the demand for air transport. However, uncertainty in economy, rising unemployment and increased terrorist attacks towards tourism would be a big threat to the growth of air transport in the future. To understand the importance of the mentioned factors, we first aim to apply an econometric approach which is panel Granger causality analysis. To achieve that, data from World Bank data set for OECD countries between the year of 2000 and 2013 is used in this study. We apply Pesaran CDLM test and Friedman’s test which are preferred when the number of units (N) is higher than the time (T) to test cross-sectional dependence and we then perform Granger causality analysis in order to see whether there is a causal relationship (unidirectional or bidirectional) or not among air transport, tourism, economic growth and employment. Econometric results indicate that there is a unidirectional short run causal relationship between economic growth, tourism, employment and air transport and that those factors play an important role in the growth of air transport. In this paper, we also aim to discuss the future challenges for air transport within the frame of econometric results and statistical analysis.

    Gender in the cockpit: Challenges faced by female airline pilots
    (Elsevier, 2020-07) Yanıkoğlu, Özge Peksatıcı; Kılıç, Sena; Küçükönal, Hatice; Aviation Management; YANIKOĞLU, Özge; KILIÇ, Sena; KÜÇÜKÖNAL, Hatice
    Despite the increasing number of female pilots in recent years, the aviation industry is still considered a male-dominated one. Being underrepresented in an occupation and working in an industry with masculine discourses create several challenges for female pilots. This study aims to identify gender-related career challenges experienced by female pilots based in Turkey. The findings of the study reveal that female commercial airline pilots have been experiencing gender prejudice and discrimination in the workplace. These prejudices and discriminations place considerable psychological burden on them which can significantly affect their behaviour and performance. Considering the findings of the study, several recommendations are given to the airline companies and the society in supporting female pilots’ career advancement.

    Global technology leadership: a case for innovative education praxis
    (Elsevier, 2013-04-03) Bowen, E. E.; Bertoline, G. R.; Athinarayanan, R.; Cox. R. F.; Burbank, K. A.; Buskirk, D. R.; Küçükönal, Hatice; Aviation Management; KÜÇÜKÖNAL, Hatice
    The development of a scholarly model of technology leadership necessitates a global component for the modern technology and technology education organization. The authors conduct qualitative research of four key concepts around globalization and innovation in technology higher education, as well as issues in organizational change implementation and the evolution of ‘global technology leadership’ as a new scholarly discipline. Via a process of on-site visits for observation and face-to-face interviews with both academic and industry organizations in multiple countries, participant scholars utilized ethnographic research methods (Lindlof & Taylor, 2002) to gather detailed qualitative data on the development and status of implementing technology innovation and global technology leadership strategies. Results of content analysis conducted manually and via NVivo qualitative data analysis software revealed bifurcation in programmatic approaches and conceptualizations on these topics between established and relatively younger higher educational programs, as well as critical considerations in industry-academic partnerships and the role of leadership and management scientific training in higher education.
