Özet: LITERATURE RESEARCH SUBJECT In the business world, having qualified employees is very important for organisations that want to be successful by keeping up with the constant change and competitive environment. Career development services play an important role in hiring qualified employees and keeping them in the organisation.

Because, in Turkey, the number of field researches in the aviation sector is not enough. DESIGN AND METHOD RESEARCH TYPE The study is a research article.

RESEARCH PROBLEMS The research question posed is as follows: Do the career development opportunities offered by organisations affect career commitment and career satisfaction of employees, increasing their commitment to the organisation or decreasing their intention to quit?

The response rate of the surveys is 52.83%. Since 10 of the surveys contain insufficient information, 307 surveys were considered valid. QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS The Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), and the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) Analysis were used in the study.

DISCUSSING the FINDINGS with the LITERATURE In this study, the effects of organisational career development services, employees' commitment to their careers, and their level of satisfaction with achieving career goals on the aviation ground service employees' organisational commitment, and intention to leave were examined. EFA, CFA, and SEM Analysis results show that organisational career development services have an effect on aviation ground services employees' organisational commitment, and career satisfaction (literature supported), but show no effect on the intention to leave (literature not supported). Also, career development opportunities offered by the organisation were significant for the employees who have higher levels of career commitment. CONCLUSION, RECOMMENDATION AND LIMITATIONS RESULTS of the ARTICLE This study is a step towards meeting the need for field research in the aviation industry. It is significant for the literature. With the findings of the study, it has been tried to reveal the feelings and thoughts of aviation sector employees towards their organisations. SUGGESTIONS BASED on RESULTS The indirect and mediating effects between this study's variables can be examined in the future. Also, the study can be replicated in the future using the same variables but with more participants. LIMITATIONS of the ARTICLE The limitation of the study is the number of participants. Due to the difficulty in reaching personnel in the aviation sector, the number of participants' remained at a certain level.
