The Department of Aviation Management opened in 2011 under the Atılım University Graduate School of Civil Aviation. The department curriculum encompasses management and aviation, and education is offered in English as the language of global aviation. Aviation is a sector with a potential for growth globally by around five percent each year, and nationally by ten percent or more, exceeding the worldwide averages. The Department of Aviation Management trains individuals equipped to work in aviation at public institutions, airlines, ground operation institutions, terminal services and general aviation organizations. Our department offers an opportunity for students to study abroad for a semester under our Erasmus+ contracts, and a chance to familiarize themselves with the sector via summer internship programs organized twice throughout their period of study. In addition, some of the aviation courses are presented at relevant institutions (e.g. Terminal operations).

Abstract

Drawing on self-determination theory, this study focuses on the relationship between job crafting and work alienation and the moderating effect of perceived supervisor support. Based on theoretical discussions, this study examines (1) whether a negative relationship exists between job crafting and work alienation; (2) whether and how perceived supervisor support moderates that relationship. Findings are based on the data collected from a survey of 203 participants working in Turkey. The results indicate job crafting's negative association with work alienation. Perceived supervisor support is a moderating variable, fostering employee that, in turn, leads to reduced work alienation.
