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.

raised serious concerns about that economics and mangement studying has
negative effects on social and political values. The aim of paper is to examine

studying. The survey includes some questions with 435 students from five
different departments at Dumlupınar University in Kutahya: Economics, business
administratinon, applied sciences, sociology and theology. As a result, the

others.
