“…Although the study did not specifically examine this aspect, the need for companies to address challenges related to new technologies, such as securing sufficient capital, providing staff training, and obtaining support from senior management, can be related to the barrier of lack of investment in talent management identified in the research. According toDragomir (2019), gender equality is identified as an important issue in talent management within the shipping industry. Although our study did not specifically investigate gender equality, the need to address genderdisparities and promote gender equality highlighted in the interrelating literature aligns with our study's findings regarding the broader challenge of disregarding and ignoring the value and development of employees.…”

Talent management (TM) is a critical aspect of organizational success, particularly in industries characterized by constant change and intense competition, such as the Turkish container shipping industry. This study aimed to explore the barriers to talent management practices and identify potential actions that companies in this industry can take to overcome these challenges. Through structured interviews with 31 participants employed in Turkish shipping companies, a range of barriers emerged, including economic conditions, the employment of incompetent individuals, lack of investment in talent management, disregard for employee value and development, lack of institutionalism, high employee turnover, failure to implement education effectively, and time constraints. In response to these barriers, potential actions were identified, including the development and utilization of innovative and remedial strategies, valuing employee development, providing employee welfare, and allocating adequate time and budget resources. These findings provide valuable insights into the challenges faced by organizations in the Turkish container shipping industry and offer actionable recommendations to enhance talent management practices. By implementing these actions, companies can create an environment that attracts, develops, and retains talented individuals, contributing to their long-term success in a competitive industry. Acknowledging and addressing these challenges is crucial for organizations seeking to improve talent management practices and remain competitive in the Turkish container shipping industry.

“…According to the results, the university had increased its female graduates from 2,85% to 19,7% and a significant improvement had been found in the gender balance of academics. Dragomir (2019), had proposed the term "gendering shipping" as a contemporary trend for comparing shipping organizations in order to promote gender equality both on board and the shore. It is also suggested to apply gender-friendly human resource policies to increase awareness.…”

Ports are developing sustainability frameworks in order to cope with latest requirements from the stakeholders. Economic, environmental and social dimensions of sustainability are the three pillars of the topic. Although economic and environmental aspects of sustainability in ports are widely researched in the literature, the social dimension of gender equality research is scarce. To fill the gap, it is important to identify the most important efforts for improving gender equality in ports. The aim of this study is to evaluate the gender equality criterias by port executives in terms of social sustainability. For this purpose, one of the Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methods, Step-wise Weight Assessment Ratio Analysis (SWARA) was used to evaluate the priority weights of five criterias in Turkey. The results show that recruitment policy is the most important criteria in the field. Therefore, some suggestions are made to port industry to become more socially sustainable by minimizing the gender gap.

“…Studying the literature review related to postmodernism there can be seen a lack of researches that directly connect it with the transport sector or other parts of this sector, like infrastructure or logistics. When referring to maritime transport we need to emphasize the presence of postmodernism in relation with mobility of people and things (that automatically attracts the culture mobility) and with the organizational level (that involves different parts connected to commercial aspects of the maritime sector) (Dragomir, 2019).…”

Strategic management ensures the identification of environmental opportunities and threats that a sector or an organization must face in order to gain a competitive advantage in the market. Transport is recognized as a key factor in the strategy of a long term development, economic growth and quality of life. In this sense, a transport system that offers a maximum economic and social impact must be developed in order to minimize the negative effects. Considering this aspects, we must highlight that important economic changes, trade growth, technological development or environmental issues have a major impact on the maritime industry in general and on port activities in particular. The favourable maritime opening of Romania, which through the port of Constanta is one of the main distribution centers for Central and Eastern Europe, ensures the necessary premises for an economic growth. The purpose of this paper is to identify the main strategic management decisions needed in the field of maritime transport in order to ensure increased performance. We will also try to demonstrate the strategic importance that the management of the port has (through updated strategic decisions and objectives) in terms of its competitiveness in foreign trade. An analysis will be performed on the port of Constanta based on which we will identify the main decisions and strategic objectives to ensure its development and increase its competitiveness at European and global level.
