FACTORS ATTRACTING JOBS AT SEA OR ASHORE

Mijo Biličić

Abstract

Based on the three empiric researches carried out in 1974,1979 and 1992, the author aims at presenting the factors attracting jobs at sea or ashore. The results obtained have proved that the attractiveness of a job at sea is the crucial force that influences seamen to remain in the maritime navigation service. These forces are set forth through the notions of their commitment to navigation, of giving up the service, of the activity level or time spent at sea needed to obtain a certificate of competence, of being satisfied with the work on board a ship, of the hierarchical relations on board a ship and of the way in which off-time on board a ship can be spent.

Keywords

low, medium and high commitment to maritime navigation service; giving up the service; permanent and temporary seamen; satisfied and unsatisfied with the job; spending off- time
