Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine the basic parameters of the corporate image and to offer suggestions to marketing managers to improve the corporate image. After a detailed theoretical analysis of the corporate image, the results from the interviews made the clients in the health sector in Zonguldak province are presented. The data gathered from 835 clients are analyzed with the SPSS statistics program. Factor analysis is used as a statistical method. This research reveals that the clients are affected by five main dimensions in accessing corporate image of the health company. The explanatory power of these five dimensions is almost 70%. In defining corporate image, the clients are influenced by workers’ clothings; corporate communication factors; workers’ behavior and consistency; consumer facility costs; and variability of services and interdepartmental access in the health institution

Year 2008, Volume: 4 Issue: 7, 85 - 96, 01.06.2008

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, sağlık kuruluşlarında kurumsal imajın temel belirleyicilerinin saptanması ve kurumsal imajı geliştirmeleri için pazarlama yöneticilerine önerilerde bulunmaktır. Kurumsal imajın teorik analizinden sonra, Zonguldak Merkez İlinde yaşayan sağlık hizmeti tüketicileri örneklenmiştir. Toplam 835 sağlık hizmeti tüketicisinden elde edilen veriler, SPSS istatistik paketi ile analize tabi tutulmuştur. İstatistik yöntem olarak faktör analizi kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda, tüketicilerin sağlık işletmesi kurumsal imajını değerlendirmede beş ana boyuttan etkilendikleri saptanmıştır. Beş faktörün toplam açıklama gücü yaklaşık %70’dir. Tüketiciler sağlık işletmesine ilişkin kurumsal imaj tanımı yaparken, personel kıyafeti, kurumsal iletişim, personel davranışı ve tutarlılık, tüketici kolaylık maliyetleri, hizmet çeşitliliği ve bölümler arası erişim faktörlerinden etkilenmektedir.
