The research employed a survey method, and the data collected from participants were analyzed using SPSS software. To test the proposed hypotheses, a total of 59 scale items were used. The company performance scale was adapted from Çakıcı et al. (2011), the innovation scale from Can (2012), and the employee motivation scale from Köroğlu (2011). The study population consisted of 15,215 individuals. Due to the heterogeneous nature of the sample, the sampling calculation was conducted using p=0.5 and q=0.5, resulting in a sample size of 850 participants. The reliability coefficients of the scales used in the study were found to be high. Frequency analysis was applied to determine the demographic distribution of the participants working in the civil aviation sector. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) was used to assess the validity of the scales and determine the relationships between the items and their components. Correlation analysis was also conducted to examine the relationships among variables. The results confirmed all hypotheses, indicating that increased employee motivation and a greater focus on innovation positively influence company performance in the civil aviation industry. %U https://odad.org/article/innovation-strategies-and-employees-effects-of-motivation-on-business-performance-in-civil-aviation-tteojdqalkr8rfp
