Abstract

    Bu çalışmanın amacı Y jenerasyonunun potansiyel işverenlerinden beklentilerini ve işverenleri hakkındaki değerlendirmelerini hangi iletişim aracına bağlı olarak yapılandırdıklarını ortaya koymaktır. Bu amaçtan hareket ile Türkiye’de faaliyet gösteren kamu üniversitelerinin Ziraat Fakültelerinde okuyan 543 öğrenci üzerinde ideal işveren beklentileri, spesifik bir firma özelinden hareket ile değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırma bulguları 543 Ziraat Fakültesi öğrencisinin ideal işvereni, insan odaklı (%14), çalışanının eğitim ve gelişmesine önem veren (%12.53) kariyer gelişimi fırsatı sunan(%12.17) ve iyi çalışma koşullarına sahip (%9.99) işveren olarak tanımladıkları bulgusuna ulaşılmıştır. Çalışma bulguları ayrıca öğrencilerin işveren firmaları değerlendirme sürecinde üniversite kariyer günleri gibi yüz yüze iletişim ya da öğretim üyelerinin referansları gibi kişisel tecrübeye dayalı etkileşim süreçlerinden daha fazla etkilendiklerini göstermektedir.
