Abstract

Seafaring is regarded as one of the high-risk occupational groups. The safety and health risks encountered during the execution of this profession, which are closely linked to working conditions, constitute a significant source of concern for both shipowners and seafarers. The primary aim of this study is to reveal the structural characteristics of the academic literature concerning the working conditions of seafarers. In this context, a total of 97 academic publications indexed in the Web of Science database were analyzed using bibliometric analysis methods. The findings obtained from the analysis indicate that the issue of seafarers’ working conditions should be addressed not only in terms of physical risks but also within the framework of psychological and social dimensions. Furthermore, the existing body of literature appears to be quantitatively limited, highlighting the need to foster greater academic interest in the working conditions of seafarers.

Özet

Gemi insanlığı yüksek risk barındıran meslek gruplarından biri olarak değerlendirilmektedir. Bu mesleğin icrasında çalışma koşullarına bağlı olarak karşılaşılan güvenlik ve sağlık riskleri, hem donatanlar hem de gemi insanları açısından ciddi bir kaygı unsuru oluşturmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı gemi insanlarının çalışma koşullarına ilişkin akademik literatürün yapısal özelliklerini ortaya koymaktır. Bu çerçevede, bibliyometrik analiz yöntemi kullanılarak Web of Science veri tabanında yer alan toplam 97 akademik yayın analiz edilmiştir. Gerçekleştirilen analiz sonucunda elde edilen bulgular gemi insanlarının çalışma koşulları konusunun yalnızca fiziksel riskler bağlamında değil, aynı zamanda psikolojik ve sosyal riskler bağlamında da ele alınması gerekliliğini ortaya koymaktadır. Bununla birlikte, mevcut literatürün niceliksel olarak görece sınırlı bir düzeyde olduğu ve gemi insanlarının çalışma koşullarına yönelik akademik ilginin artırılmasına ihtiyaç duyulduğu görülmektedir.
