Abstract

It is seen that natural disasters, epidemics and similar crisis situations have both social and economic effects in all countries of the world. In this study, the effect of decision-making styles of employees in the airline industry on employee motivation during the Covid-19 pandemic was examined. Airline employees working in Turkey constitute the population of the research. Since it was not possible to reach the whole population in the study, sampling was used. Within the scope of the research, 392 airline employees were asked to fill out a questionnaire using the convenience sampling method. Employee decision making style and employee motivation items were directed to the participants. Smart PLS-SEM statistical program was used in the analysis phase of the research. According to the results of the research, it has been observed that intuitive, avoidance and spontaneous decision-making styles have a positive effect on employee motivation. On the other hand, no significant positive effect of rational and dependent decision-making styles on employee motivation was found.
