There are many factors that may affect employees' job performance such as psychological, sociological, anthropological, demographic and similar. However, related literature was mainly focusing on psychological and demographic ones, which were often analyzed through different job performance measurement methods such as self-evaluation and supervisor (or superior) evaluation. The main goal of the current study is to define and compare the factors affecting employee's job performance according to the above mentioned measurement methods, as well as their level of importance. For the purpose of this study, data were collected through survey conducted in the Antalya region in Turkey among 305 participants coming from seven countries and consisting of both employees and supervisors working for a performing artists organization company. Data were analyzed by using CHAID analysis through classification algorithms. Results show there is a difference between variables explaining the job performance of the employees when they do self-evaluation of their own performance than when the same is done by their supervisors. Nationality is one of the factors affecting performance in both evaluation forms. While the performance of individuals with extraversion personality traits was high in case of self-evaluation, the performance of the men who were second-born or after was high in the evaluation by the supervisors. These results demonstrated the problematic nature of measuring job performance and making accurate evaluations based on it.
Öz: Günümüzde yaratıcılık sürdürülebilir turizm yönetimi için stratejik bir faktör olarak görülmektedir. Yaratıcı turizm, destinasyonla, kültürlerle ve insanlarla daha çok eğitim, duygusal, sosyal ve katılımcı etkileşimi içermektedir. Yaratıcı turizmin geliştiği yerlerdeki yerel halk ve destinasyon yöneticileri kendini geliştirmek, bu bölgelerin yaratıcılığını bir kaynak olarak tanımak ve turistlerin yeni deneyimlere artan taleplerini karşılamak için fırsatları değerlendirmelidirler. Bu araştırma kapsamında, turizmde yaratıcılık sürecinin nasıl olması ve nelerin yapılması gerektiği bir turizm kenti özelinde "UNESCO Yaratıcı Kent Ağı" programı bağlamında açıklanmaya çalışılmıştır. Öncelikle turizmde yaratıcılık ve "UNESCO Yaratıcı Kent Ağı" ile ilgili yapılan yazın taraması yapılmıştır. İlk olarak yaratıcı turizm uygulama süreci örneği olarak "UNESCO Yaratıcı Kent Ağı" programı bağlamında uygulama örnekleri ile ilgili hazırlanmış dökümanlar internet ortamından bulunmuş ve incelenmiştir. Araştırma sürecinin ikinci aşamasında önemli bir turizm destinasyonu olan Antalya örnek olay olarak ele alınmış ve yaratıcı turizm planlama ve uygulama sürecinde nelerin nasıl yapılması gerektiği konularında bir araştırma gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırma sürecinde nitel yöntem kullanılmıştır. Döküman analizi ve görüşmeler ile toplanan veriler içerik analizi yöntemi ile değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışma sonuçlarının turizm destinasyonunun planlaması ve uygulamalarından sorumlu kişi ve kuruluşlar için önemli bilgiler sağlayacağı öngörülmektedir.Anahtar sözcükler: Yaratıcılık, Yaratıcı Turizm, UNESCO Yaratıcı Kent Ağı, Film, Antalya Abstract: Today, creativity is considered a strategic factor in sustainable tourism management.

In conclusion it was emphasized that this research may provide s...
Cultural Heritage, both tangible and intangible, represents value systems, beliefs, traditions and lifestyles of one society which is being transmitted from one generation to another. Development of Information and Communication Technologies has affected multidisciplinary work on management, protection and promotion of cultural heritage, as well as how it should be taught and used as a touristic product. The aim of current study is to examine the benefits of one of the latest technological developments, Virtual Reality applications (VR applications), in the context of cultural heritage tourism. Accordingly, benefits of VR applications for cultural heritage tourism are summarized under three headings in terms of planning and management of cultural heritage potential for tourism management, marketing and accessibility.
As an important contributor to higher education and tourism industry both inside and outside of the European Union, Erasmus programme provides the significant framework for many studies in academic literature. One of the important issues which Erasmus students encounter is the issue of prejudices and stereotypes between them and local students and residence. The aim of this research is to examine the successfulness of the Erasmus programme in reducing prejudice and stereotypes between Erasmus and Turkish students/residents from the perspective of contemporary knowledge on contact theory. Accordingly, the qualitative research on Erasmus students who took their course at Akdeniz University Tourism Faculty in Antalya Turkey was conducted. The three main categories were derived after the content analysis of obtained data: Erasmus students' initiative, positive as well as the negative aspects of Erasmus process. The results of this study provide new perspective on how the prejudice reduction is being examined and in which direction should individual parties in Erasmus programme work in order to improve the overall success of the same.
