Abstract

This study examines the effects of tourists' motivations on behavioral intent and satisfaction within the realm of thermal tourism. Conducted through a quantitative research approach in the Gazlıgöl thermal region of Afyonkarahisar province, data were collected via a survey administered to 384 visitors. The findings reveal that motivation significantly influences both behavioral intent and satisfaction. It was observed that motivational factors enhance visitors' intentions to revisit and recommend the destination to others. Furthermore, a high level of motivation correlates with increased satisfaction. These results underscore the importance of developing services in the thermal tourism sector that support tourists' motivations. When evaluated in light of self-determination theory and the theory of planned behavior, the study highlights the regulatory role of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation sources on behavioral outcomes in thermal tourism experiences. As one of the pioneering studies systematically exploring the interplay of psychological factors within thermal tourism dynamics, this research addresses conceptual gaps in the academic literature while providing strategic recommendations for industry stakeholders. In particular, the integration of motivational profiling analyses in service design, the development of personalized wellness packages, and experiential marketing strategies are critical for positively supporting behavioral intentions. Regarding the study's limitations, the absence of cross-cultural comparisons and the inability to measure long-term effects present methodological frameworks for future research. Motivation, behavioral intent, and satisfaction are psychological factors that have been rarely studied in conjunction, making the emerging results a reference for upcoming studies.

Termal Turistlerde Motivasyonun Davranışsal Niyet ve Memnuniyet Üzerindeki Etkisi Üzerine Bir Çalışma

Year 2025, Issue: 7, 24 - 39
https://doi.org/10.71276/stbad.1662109

Abstract

Bu çalışma, termal turizm alanında turistlerin motivasyonlarının davranışsal niyet ve memnuniyet üzerindeki etkilerini incelemektedir. Afyonkarahisar ilindeki Gazlıgöl termal bölgesinde gerçekleştirilen nicel araştırma, 384 ziyaretçi ile anket yöntemi kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırma bulguları, motivasyonun hem davranışsal niyet hem de memnuniyet üzerinde anlamlı etkileri olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Motivasyon unsurlarının, ziyaretçilerin yeniden ziyaret etme ve başkalarına tavsiye etme niyetlerini artırdığı gözlemlenmiştir. Ayrıca, motivasyon düzeyinin yüksek olması durumunda memnuniyetin de arttığı belirlenmiştir. Bu bulgular, termal turizm sektöründe sunulan hizmetlerin turistlerin motivasyonlarını destekleyecek şekilde geliştirilmesinin önemini vurgulamaktadır. Bu sonuçlar, öz-bütünleşme teorisi ve planlı davranış teorisi ışığında değerlendirildiğinde, termal turizm deneyimlerinde içsel ve dışsal motivasyon kaynaklarının davranışsal çıktılar üzerindeki düzenleyici rolüne işaret etmektedir. Araştırma, psikolojik faktörlerin termal turizm dinamiklerindeki etkileşimini sistematik biçimde inceleyen öncül çalışmalardan biri olarak, hem akademik literatürdeki kavramsal boşluğu doldurmakta hem de sektör paydaşlarına yönelik stratejik öneriler sunmaktadır. Özellikle hizmet tasarımında motivasyonel profil analizlerinin entegrasyonu, kişiselleştirilmiş wellness paketleri ve deneyimsel pazarlama stratejilerinin geliştirilmesi, davranışsal niyetlerin olumlu yönde desteklenmesi açısından kritik önem taşımaktadır. Çalışmanın sınırlılıkları bağlamında, kültürlerarası karşılaştırmaların eksikliği ve uzun dönemli etkilerin ölçülememiş olması, gelecek araştırmalar için metodolojik bir çerçeve önermektedir. Motivasyon, davranışsal niyet ve memnuniyet psikolojik faktörler olup bir arada oldukça az çalışılmış değişkenlerdir. Bundan dolayı ortaya çıkan sonuçlar gelecekte yazılacak olan çalışmalara örnek olacaktır.
