Abstract
A Research on Levels of Occupational Fit and Occupational Perception of Cookers
The aim of this study is to determine the relations between occupational adaptation and occupational perception. For this purpose, the profession adjustment and profession perception levels of the cooks were investigated. The data were obtained through questionnaires from the chefs participating in the Golden Grab International Food Contest held in Alanya in 2014 and the findings are limited to 163 cooks participating in this survey. Survey participants were easily sampled. The data obtained in the study were analyzed using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) 22.0 program. Descriptive statistical methods (number, percentage, mean, standard deviation) were used when the data were evaluated. The Mann Whitney U test was used for comparison of quantitative data and the Kruskall Wallis test was used for more than one group comparisons. The relationship between the dependent and independent variables of the study was tested by Pearson correlation and the effect was tested by regression analysis. The level of Occupational Adaptation was found to be "very high" and the level of General Occupational Perception was "high". There was a moderate level positive relationship between the person - occupational adjustment and the occupational general perception.
