Abstract
In this study, decision heuristics used by individuals with different responsibility controls were investigated. In the research, 370 final grade university students studying at Erzincan University Faculty of Education were included. In order to collect data, Internally Controlled Responsibility-Externally Controlled Responsibility Scale of Ozen and Gulacti (2011), and Decision Heuristics Scale developed by Ozen (2015) were used. Obtained data were investigated benefiting from Pearson Product-Moment Correlation and t-test. As result of the analyses, it was determined that the students generally had internally controlled responsibility, and they mostly used representative heuristic. When the correlation of decision heuristics with Internally Controlled Responsibility-Externally Controlled Responsibility was investigated, a low level negative relationship was found between representative heuristic and Internally Controlled Responsibility-Externally Controlled Responsibility. A low level positive relationship was found between availability and adjustment heuristics and Internally Controlled Responsibility-Externally Controlled Responsibility. In the research, moreover, it was also determined when the students who had internally controlled responsibility were compared with the ones who had externally controlled responsibility that the students with internally controlled responsibility significantly used more logical representative heuristic and less availability heuristic and anchoring heuristic.

Summary
In today’s world when educational, social and political rapid change has been experienced, values, thinking ways and priorities of people have been affected and changed.This change shows its effect in all organizations, and affects these in terms of structure, strategy, and process. The concept of making decision is defined as a) a decision, and any kind of judgment affecting the action; b) making selection among the alternatives in order for people to achieve the desired result; c) determining the sanction to be imposed for overcoming a problem; d) the process of judgment as result of assessments; e) the process of judging through interpreting or comparing the information related to an event or a problem. According to these definitions, decision making is the process of conclusion by making the most proper assessment among the alternatives. Decision making is a dynamic process, and individuals play an active role in this process [4]
