Abstract

Endüstri 4.0, 20. yüzyılın sonlarına doğru bilgi teknolojileri ve internetin durdurulamaz gelişimiyle; sayı ve çeşitlilik olarak sürekli artış gösteren dijital teknolojileri bir araya getiren bir endüstriyel devrimdir. Endüstri 4.0’ın beraberinde getirdiği dijital teknolojilerin kullanımının artması sonucu, dijital dönüşüm giderek önem kazanmış ve literatürde daha çok yer almaya başlamıştır. Endüstri 4.0 ve muhasebe ilişkisinin incelendiği çalışmalar literatürde görülmektedir. Bununla birlikte yapılan taramalar sonucunda literatürde, işletme bölümü öğrencilerinin endüstri 4.0’a olan bakış açıları ile muhasebe dersleri ve endüstri 4.0’a olan tutumlarını ölçen yeterli sayıda çalışmaya rastlanılmamıştır. Bu çalışmada endüstri 4.0’ın muhasebeye olan etkileri ve muhasebenin dijital dönüşümü, işletme bölümü öğrencileri özelinde değerlendirilmeye çalışılmıştır. Toplam 491 anket işletme bölümü öğrencilerine uygulanmış ve 491 anketten elde edilen verilerin güvenilirlik analizleri için IBM SPSS Statistics 22 paket programı kullanılmıştır. Çalışmada kullanılan ölçeklerin geçerliliğinin tespitinde ise açıklayıcı faktör analizi kullanılmıştır. Analizde, örneklem uygunluğunun ölçümü için Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) ve Barlett Testi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Yapılan analiz sonuçlarına göre işletme bölümü öğrencileri arasında cinsiyet, yaş, sınıf ve genel not ortalamasına göre endüstri 4.0’a olan bakış açılarında anlamlı bir farklılık olduğu ortaya konmuştur. Bununla birlikte işletme bölümü öğrencileri arasında muhasebe derslerine ve endüstri 4.0’a olan tutumlarında cinsiyet, yaş, sınıf ve bölüme göre anlamlı bir farklılık olduğu da ortaya konmuştur.

In this study, the effects of the Industry 4.0 on accounting and the digital transformation of accounting have been evaluated for business administration students. A total of 491 questionnaires were applied to the students of the department of business administration, and IBM SPSS Statistics 22 package program was employed for the reliability analysis of the data obtained from 491 questionnaires.
