The population of the study consisted of individuals receiving service from fitness centers in Çanakkale province. And the sample consisted of 30 women (27,3%) and 80 men (72,7%) in total of 110 people, the sample was determined by random sampling method. Inspiration Scale (I.S.) was developed by Thrash and Elliot (2003) and adapted to Turkish version by Akın (2011). The reliability of the scale was examined by Chronbach Alpha analysis (α = 0,919) and it was found to be of high reliability. It was determined that the collected data showed normal distribution. For this reason, analyzes were made by parametric tests. According to the study findings; no statistically significant difference was found between the frequency of inspiration and the intensity of inspiration by gender, age, income, marital status, weekly and monthly attendance times at fitness center (p>0,05). As a result, it was found statistically that individuals who go to fitness centers are not a determinant factor in terms of their frequency of inspiration and the intensity of inspiration in their gender, age, income, marital status, weekly and monthly attendance times at fitness center.

In order to carry out the study, firstly maps and reports were used. After the data collection and preparation process, field studies were started. During these studies, the current status of the site was determined and mapped. In addition, the processes affecting the formation of the valley and their impact values were observed on-site and recorded. The thematic maps of the study were drawn in 1 / 100.000 scale detail with the help of MapInfo 9.5 program. In the last stage, all the information obtained was analyzed in line with the principles of Geography. Meram Dere Valley and its surroundings, Meram Dere Valley, Plateau fields and skirt plain are remarkable geomorphological units. Meram Dere Valley is formed on Upper Miocene-Lower Pliocene formations. Later, the tectonism and the area under the control of the Old Konya Lake were buried in the bed due to changes in the level of Lake Konya. Today, the valley is buried in the Lower Triassic-Upper Jurassic dolomitic limestones and Upper Cretaceous-Lower Paleocene aged sandstone, siltstone, gabbro and peridotites. The plateau areas in the research area have been formed as a result of tectonic events and erosional activity from the Upper Pliocene to the present. The plateau surface is curved and fractured. The plateau surfaces in and around the Meram Dere Valley show high and low plateau characteristics. The high plateau was formed by karstification and erosion before the Upper Miocene between 14501800 meters and then covered by volcano-sedimentary sediments in Upper Miocene-Pliocene. In the PlioceneHolocene interval, it was eroded by fluvial and tectonic effects and gained the present appearance. The Low Plateau was formed between 1250 and 1450 meters due to the erosion of the Upper Miocene-Pliocene. In the area where the Meram Dere Valley opens to the Konya Plain, there is a skirt plain formed by alluvial fans in the north-south direction between the plateau field and the plain floor. The skirt plain is composed of late Pleistocene alluvial fan at the bottom and Holocene fan deposits at the top. As a result, it was understood that the fluvial, tectonic, karstic and limnic events were effective in the current appearance of Meram Dere Valley and its surroundings.

The reason for this is that organizations with qualified workforce are long-lasting. Organizations ignoring investment for their employees are bound to face low organizational commitments, low performance, and no productiveness. This research, basically focusing on the health sector, tried to specify the effect of the managers’ ethical approach on employees’ organizational commitments, performances, and the role of organizational commitments in this effect. The sampling was composed of 362 healthcare professionals. In this cross-sectional field study, an independent variable model for the ethical leadership approaches and a dependent variable model for the employees’ performance and commitment to their organizations were practiced. Data was collected through Ethical leadership, Organizational Commitment, and Individual Performance Scales. The data collected were analyzed through SPSS and AMOS package programs. A correlation analysis to specify the relationships between the variables and a regression analysis was done to specify the interaction. In specifying the intermediary role of organizational commitment, Structural Equation Model (SEM) was used. The results of the analyses showed positive significant relationships between ethical leadership approaches and organizational commitment and employees’ performance. It was also observed that ethical leadership approaches had a positive and meaningful effect on affective, continuous and normative commitment, the sub-dimensions of organizational commitment, as well as the employees’ performance. On other important finding is employees’ attendance and normative commitment are highly affected by ethical leadership approaches. As a result, it was specified that ethical leadership approaches by the managers are highly effective on employees’ performance and their commitment. It was also noted that organizational commitment played a mediator role on ethical leadership approaches. These findings were seen to be amicable with findings in previous studies. It is expected that this research will contribute to the literature because it is a holistic model including the relationships between variables.
