Abstract
Purpose: This study seeks to discuss research ethics, not only the academic honesty and sincerity that researchers who study aviation services academically should have, but also the direction of the moral aspects that are fundamentally required as researchers. Additionally, this study seeks to examine the realistic problems of research related to the aviation service industry, a field of social science. Lastly, focusing on research ethics in the aviation service field, we will look at the theoretical background and the problems in the actual research field, and draw implications based on this. Research design, data and methodology: This study conducted an exploratory study through a selection process based on research ethics topics and research ethics related to the aviation service industry. Results: Efforts to systematize research ethics in research areas related to the aviation service industry, which is a field of social science, require efforts to expand the scope of systematization of research ethics related to the aviation service industry by referring to systemization efforts in other academic fields. In addition, specific systemization efforts will be needed through cooperation between universities, research institutes, and academic organizations. Also, concrete systematization efforts will be needed through cooperation between universities and academic organizations.
