Rhodes airport employees’ views on the level of education and training and their contribution to the adherence to the procedures

This study aims to investigate the possible connections between the vocational education and training of the employees of the Rhodes Airport "Diagoras" on a purely aviation subject and the degree of compliance or deviation from the corporate procedures. For the purposes of the research, the methodology of the quantitative approach was used, in order to measure the thoughts, opinions and feelings of the employees. The tool used in this research for the collection of the quantitative data was the use of questionnaires to measure the various variables (Shaughnessy, Zechmeister, & Zechmeister, 2018). The researchers hope that the conclusions will contribute to the optimization of the structure and content of the educational programs that are developed in the airport environment as well as to the review of corporate procedures regarding the possibility of their unorthodox observance or neglect. The results demonstrate that the vocational education and training of the employees is at a high level, the staff recognizes the importance of the training and its contribution to the observance of the procedures approved by the agencies. There are no tendencies to deviate from the procedures nor any intentions to cover up criminal behavior regardless of the hierarchical position of the principal/instigator. However, differences can be seen in both research axes regarding the connection between employment and the years in the current subject.
