değerlendirmeye alınmıştır. Çalışmada kullanılan anketler literatürden
yararlanılarak oluşturulmuştur. Likert tipi 5’li ölçekte oluşturulan iki farklı
ölçek toplam dokuz boyuttan oluşmaktadır. Verilerin analizinde SPSS 22.0 paket
programından yararlanılmış ve veriler faktör analizi, korelasyon analizi ve
regresyon analizi ile çözümlenmiştir. Sonuçta oluşturulan 20 hipotezden 9’u
