Abstract

Bu çalışma, keşif araştırmalarında teoriler geliştirmek için kullanılan kısmi en küçük kareler yapısal eşitlik modeli (PLS-SEM) kullanılarak, yükseköğretimde kalite yönetimi alanında son yıllarda meydana gelen dünya çapındaki gelişmeler karşısında Türk yükseköğretim sisteminde yaşanan benzer gelişmelerin analizine yönelik olarak kurumsal kuram paradigmaları ile teorik bir model keşfedebilmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Oluşturulan model ile Türk yükseköğretim sisteminde hangi çevresel baskı mekanizmalarının kalite yönetiminin benimsenmesine etki ettiği, yükseköğretim kurumlarının karar verme tarzlarında ne tür eğilimlerde bulunulduğu, kalite yönetiminin nasıl uygulandığı ve uygulama biçiminden hareketle kalite yönetiminin nasıl benimsendiği arasındaki teorik ilişki Türkiye bağlamında keşfedilmektedir. Kurulan yapısal eşitlik modelinin analizinde; zorlayıcı baskı mekanizmalarının endojen değişkenler üzerindeki etkisi istatistiki olarak anlamlı bulunmazken, öykünmeci baskı mekanizmalarının uyarak uygulama biçimi üzerinde negatif etkiye sahip olduğu (β= -0,286; T: 2,252), normatif baskı mekanizmalarının ise uyarak uygulama biçimi üzerinde pozitif etkiye sahip olduğu (β= 0,428; T: 3,952) ve her iki etkinin de istatistiki olarak anlamlı (P < 0,05) olduğu görülmüştür. Ayrıca, baskı mekanizmaları ile karar verme tarzı, karar verme tarzı ile uygulama biçimi ve uygulama biçimi ile karar verme tarzı arasında anlamlı istatistiki ilişki bulunamamıştır. Çalışma, kurumsal kuram literatürünü doğrulayıcı bir şekilde, Türk yükseköğretim sisteminde kalite yönetiminin normatif baskı mekanizmalarının etkileriyle normatif-törensel olarak benimsendiği sonucuna ulaşılan bir PLS-SEM yol modelini ortaya çıkarmaktadır.

Theoretical Model Study on the Adoption of Quality Management in Turkish Higher Education System with New Institutional Theory Arguments

Year 2021, , 79 - 91, 01.07.2021

Abstract

This study seeks to develop an institutional theory-based model to analyze quality management in Turkish higher education using the partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) technique, which is widely used in exploratory research and theory development. The model is used to explore the theoretical relationships between which isomorphic change mechanisms cause quality management to be adopted, the decision-making style employed by higher education institutions, how quality management is implemented and how quality management is adopted in the Turkish higher education context. Analysis of the developed structural equation model shows that; while the effect of the coercive pressure mechanisms on endogenous variables was not found to be statistically significant, the mimetic pressure mechanisms were found to have a negative effect (β= -0,286; T: 2,252) on the conformity to the normative pattern of QM adoption, while the normative pressure mechanism is positive on the conformity to the normative pattern of QM adoption (β= 0.428; T: 3.952) and both effects were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Also, a significant statistical relationship was not found between the pressure mechanisms and decision-making style, decision-making style and implementation, and application style and decision-making style. The study, confirming the institutional theory literature, reveals a PLS-SEM road model that concludes that quality management in the Turkish higher education system is normative / ceremonially adopted by the effects of normative pressure mechanisms.
