MANAGEMENT SKILLS

Dear Participant,


I kindly invite you to participate in a survey about the management skills of deck officers aboard ships. This survey is part of my graduation project for the MARNCT02 course.

Your insights will help create a profile of the essential management skills for deck officers. This profile, based on survey questions with deck officers, will form the basis for my reflection and outline my future approach as a deck officer.

The survey will take approximately 15-20 minutes to complete. Your responses are anonymous and will be used solely for this research.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation and valuable contribution.


Best regards,
