Özet

Çalışmanın amacı kongre katılımcılarının tercihlerinin belirlenmesidir. Kongre katılımcılarının tercih kriterlerinin belirlenmesi için bir ölçek geliştirilmiştir. Kongre tercih faktörlerini ortaya çıkarmak için açıklayıcı ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizi kullanılmıştır. Veriler Türkiye’deki üniversitelerde çalışan, ulusal ya da uluslar arası bir kongreye katılmış 246 akademisyenden toplanmıştır. Verilerin elde edilmesinde yüz yüze ve e-posta ile anket tekniğinden yararlanılmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda, kongre tercih ölçütlerinin eğlence ve aktivite, kongre, maddi maliyet, altyapı, zaman maliyeti ve destinasyon kategorileri altında toplandığı görülmüştür.
