Türkiye'de Üniversitelerde Kamu Yönetimi Eğitimi: Yeninin Temsilcisi mi Yoksa Eski Yönetimin Koruyucusu mu?

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye'deki kamu yönetimi bölümlerinin uyum derecesini tanıtmak ve kurumsal bir yaklaşım ile bu yeteneği etkileyen olası faktörleri belirleyerek Yeni Kamu Yönetişimi yaklaşımının alandaki hakimiyetini yansıtma yeteneğini incelemektir. Bu amaçla, makale yönetişim ve aktör çoğulculuğu gibi göstergelerin kamu yönetimi alanında meydana gelen önemli değişimlerin güçlü tezahürleri olarak hizmet ettiğini iddia etmektedir. Daha sonra, bu terimlerin Türk üniversitelerindeki Siyaset Bilimi ve Kamu Yönetimi ile Kamu Yönetimi bölümlerinin müfredatlarına yansıma derecesini değerlendirmektedir. Daha sonra, bu bölümlerdeki kurumsallaşma düzeylerini incelemekte ve akademik personelin güç ve isteklerini müfredat uyumunun derecesini etkileyen faktörler olarak titizlikle değerlendirmektedir. Üniversitelerdeki Siyaset Bilimi ve Kamu Yönetimi ile Kamu Yönetimi bölümlerinin web sitelerinden toplanan verilere dayanarak, çalışma hipotezleri test etmek için iki set bağımsız değişken oluşturmakta ve her bağımsız değişkenin müfredat üzerindeki etkisinin büyüklüğünü ve önemini değerlendirmek için bağımsız örneklem t-testleri kullanmaktadır. Sonuç olarak, bulgular, üniversitelerdeki kurumsal gücün ve aktörlerin güç ve istekliliğinin, bölüm bağlamlarında müfredat değişikliklerini şekillendirmede temel belirleyiciler olarak ortaya çıktığını önermektedir.
