Bu çalışmanın amacı, Gazi Üniversitesi Eğitim Fakültesi’nin odak kurum olarak, Ahi Evran Üniversitesi Eğitim Fakültesi ile Kastamonu Üniversitesi Eğitim Fakültesi’nin öğretim üyelerinin hizmet verdiği yavru kurumlar olarak kurumsallaşmasını incelemektir. Bu akademisyenlerin ortak özelliği, geçmişte Gazi Üniversitesi’nin herhangi bir doktora programından mezun olmalarıdır. Bu kapsamda öğretim üyelerinin üniversitelerin kurumsallaşmasına ilişkin görüşleri sunulmuştur. Araştırmada durum çalışması kullanılmıştır. Bu araştırmanın çalışma grubunu Türkiye’de odak kurum olan Gazi Üniversitesi ile yavru kurumlar olan Ahi Evran Üniversitesi ve Kastamonu Üniversitesi’nde görev yapan öğretim üyeleri oluşturmaktadır. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre öğretim üyeleri akademik unvanlara göre sıradizinler (hiyerarşiler) oluşturmaktadır. Yavru fakültelerde öğretim üyeleri arasındaki anlaşmazlıklar, bölüm içinde arabuluculuk ile çözülmektedir. Öğretim üyelerinin kendi fakültelerinde kullandıkları baskın örgütsel karar verme yöntemi fikir birliğidir. Doktora programlarından mezun olanların aynı fakültede istihdam edilmesi konusunda öğretim üyeleri hemfikirdir. Yavru fakültelerin kültürü, öğretmen okulu ve odak kurumun kültürüne benzemektedir.

Institutionalization at Universities: Case Study of the Focal Institution and the Spawning Institutions

Öz

The purpose of this study is to analyze the institutionalization of (blinded) A University Faculty of Education as a focal institution, and (blinded) B University Faculty of Education and (blinded) C University Faculty of Education as spawning institutions where the faculty members serve. The common feature of these academics is that they graduated from any doctoral program of (blinded) A University in the past. In this context, views of faculty members on institutionalization of universities have been presented. “Case study” was employed in the research. The study group of this research is comprised of faculty members who have been working in focal institution (blinded) A University, and spawning institutions (blinded) B University and (blinded) C University in Turkey. According to research results, faculty members create hierarchies based on academic titles. Conflicts among faculty members in spawning faculties are resolved within the department by “arbitration.” The dominant organizational decision-making method employed by faculty members within their own faculties was “consensus.” Faculty members agree that graduates from their doctorate programs should be employed at the same faculty. The culture of the spawning faculties is similar to the culture of the teacher high school and the focal institution.
