Özet

Bu çalışma ile üniversite öğrencilerinin mezun olduktan sonra çalışacakları işverenleri seçim kararlarında rol oynayan faktörler ve söz konusu faktörlerin etki dereceleri belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır. İki aşamada gerçekleştirilen araştırmanın ilk aşamasında öğrencilerden mezun olduktan sonra çalışmayı düşündükleri işverenleri belirtmeleri istenmiş, daha sonra her bir işvereni seçme nedenleri tümevarımsal bir yaklaşımla derinlemesine sorgulanmıştır. Elde edilen veriler, Patton (1990) ve Breaugh’un (1983, 1992) önerileri doğrultusunda sistematik bir süreç izlenerek derlenmiş ve 5 faktörden oluşan bir ölçek geliştirilmiştir. İkinci aşamada, ilk aşamada geliştirilen anket formu Türkiye’deki 87 farklı üniversitedeki yaklaşık 188.523 öğrencinin e-posta adresine gönderilmiş ve 19.894 kullanılabilir anket formu elde edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda öğrencilerin işveren seçimlerinde; kariyer olanakları/çalışma şartları, görsel kimlik, ürün/hizmetler, örgüt kültürü ve rekabetçi konum faktörlerini dikkate aldıkları belirlenmiştir. Bunlardan rekabetçi konum ve kariyer olanakları/çalışma şartları faktörleri temel belirleyici durumunda iken, bu iki faktörü sırasıyla ürün/hizmetler, örgüt kültürü ve görsel kimlik faktörlerinin izlediği gözlenmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular daha önce yapılan araştırmalar ışığında değerlendirilmiştir.
