Also, it was identified that the effect of corporate reputation on applicants' intention to join the organization was partially mediated by organizational attraction..

Öz

Mevcut araştırmada adayların kuruma katılma niyetinin oluşumunda örgütsel çekiciliğin ve kurumun itibarının etkisinin Türkiye örnekleminde genellenebilirliğinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bir kamu yüksek öğretim kurumuna girmek için başvuran 539 öğrenciden toplanan veriler kullanılarak yapılan korelâsyon ve regresyon analizleri ile belirlenen araştırma hipotezleri test edilmiştir. Adayların kurumun çekiciliğine yönelik tutumlarının ve toplumun kurum hakkındaki kolektif değerlendirmesini yansıtan kurumun itibarının adayın kuruma katılma niyeti üzerinde anlamlı etkisinin olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca kurumsal itibarın kuruma katılma niyeti üzerindeki etkisinde örgütsel çekiciliğin kısmi aracılık rolü ortaya konulmuştur.
