Üniversite Öğrencilerinin Kalite Algıları İle Memnuniyet ve Tavsiye Etme Düzeyleri Arasındaki İlişkiyi Belirlemeye Yönelik Bir Araştırma

Abstract

gözlemlenmektedir. Bu artışla beraber yükseköğretim kurumları arasında rekabet artmaya başlamıştır. Rekabette önde olmak için üniversiteler kalitelerini çeşitli yollarla arttırmaya başlamıştır. Bu araştırmada turizm öğrencilerinin hizmet kalitesi algıları, memnuniyetleri ve tavsiye etme niyetleri ölçülmüştür. Ayrıca memnuniyet ve tavsiyenin kalite ile ilişkisinin ortaya çıkarılması amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaç için ülkemizdeki önde gelen bir üniversitenin Turizm Fakültesi seçilmiş ve son sınıf öğrencilerine literatür taraması sonucu elde edilen anket formu uygulanmıştır. Analiz sonucunda elde edilen bulgulara göre öğrencilerin memnuniyeti ve tavsiye etme niyeti ile algılanan kalite arasında anlamlı ilişki bulunmaktadır. Ayrıca öğrencilerin kalitenin ‘idari personel’, ‘uluslararasılaşma’ ve ‘memnuniyet’ boyutlarına ilişkin algıları cinsiyete göre farklılık göstermektedir
