Öz

Çok sayıda çalışma, iktisat ve işletme eğitiminin diğer disiplinlere göre insanları daha bencil yaptığını bulmuşlardır. Özellikle küresel finansal kriz, iktisat ve işletme eğitiminin sosyal ve politik değerler üzerinde olumsuz etkilerinin olduğu hakkında ciddi endişelere yol açmıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, iktisat ve işletme eğitiminin sosyal ve politik değer, inanç ve tutumlar üzerinde bir etkisinin olup olmadığını incelemektir. Bu çalışmada, iktisat ve işletme çalışmanın etkilerini analiz etmek için bir anket çalışması tasarlandı. Anket, Kütahya’daki Dumlupınar üniversitesindeki beş farklı bölümünde öğrenim gören 435 öğrenciye uygulanan bazı sorular içermektedir: iktisat, işletme, uygulamalı bilimler, sosyıoloji ve ilahiyat. Çalışma, sonuç olarak, ekonomi bölümleri ile diğerleri arasında bazı anlamlı farklılıklara ulaşmıştır.
