Özet

Eğitim kurumlarında öğrenciler kurumun temel müşterileri olarak kabul edilmekte ve eğitim hizmetleri de pazarlanabilir olarak görülmektedir. Ülkelerin kalkınmalarında hayati önemi olan Yükseköğretim kurumlarında öğrencilerin beklentilerinin karşılanması veya aşılması gerekmektedir. Bu çalışmada, insan yaşamında her geçen gün daha fazla önem kazanan eğitim hizmet sektöründe, öğrenci tatmininin sadakate etkisi ve bu etkide kurum imajı algısının aracı rolü belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Araştırma verileri kolayda örnekleme yöntemi ile 103 öğrenciye Beşli Likert Ölçeği kullanılarak uygulanan elektronik anket neticesinde elde edilmiştir. Verilerin analizinde SPSS ve AMOS paket programı kullanılmış olup öğrenci tatmini, kurumsal imaj algısı ve sadakat değişkenlerine güvenirlik ve geçerlik analizi uygulanmıştır. Değişkenler arasındaki ilişkiler ise Yapısal Eşitlik Modeli ile test edilmiştir. Yapılan analiz neticesinde öğrenci tatmininin, öğrenci sadakatini pozitif yönde etkilediği ve bu etkide kurum imajı algısının kısmi aracı rolü olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
