Özet
Yükseköğretim kurumları, bireylerin kariyer planlamasında önemli bir yere sahiptir. Ancak, yükseköğretime giriş sınavının okul seçiminde en önemli faktör olarak görülmesi, bireylerin kariyer tercihlerini doğrudan ya da dolaylı olarak etkilemekte ve bu durum onların beklenti ve memnuniyet düzeylerine bağlı olarak olumlu ya da olumsuz sonuçlar doğurabilmektedir. Türkiye’deki kamu üniversitelerinde 2012-2013 eğitim öğretim yılında, turizm lisans eğitimi alan dördüncü sınıf öğrencilerini kapsayan bu araştırmanın amacı, kurumlarından akademik beklentileri ile onlara sağlanan akademik hizmetlerden memnuniyet düzeylerini karşılaştırmak ve kariyer planlaması ile ilişkisini ortaya koymaktır. Konuyla ilgili literatürden yararlanılarak, beklenti, memnuniyet ve kariyer planlamasına yönelik beşli Likert türü bir anket formu oluşturulmuştur. Yüz yüze görüşme yöntemi ile 583 adet anket formu toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde PASW istatistik programı kullanılarak değişkenlere faktör analizi, korelasyon ve çoklu regresyon analizi uygulanmıştır. Sonuçta, bireylerin beklentileri ile memnuniyet düzeylerinin ters yönlü bir ilişkisi olduğu, aynı zamanda bu iki temel faktörün kariyer planlamasını etkilediği bulgusuna ulaşılmıştır.
