Abstract

The purpose of this survey is to set the determinants of the choice of fields of study, the expectation, motivation and satisfaction levels of students enrolled in undergraduate programs either in the Department of Health Business Administration at Gazi University or in Health Management Department at Ankara University. In this descriptive research, the personal interview method was used. The respondents of this survey is confined to two groups of students who are currently enrolled in undergraduate program for the academic year of 2014-2015, either in the Department of Health Business Administration at Gazi University Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences or in Health Management Department at Ankara University Faculty of Health Sciences. Stratified sampling method was used to draw samples. The sample size of this study is limited to 150 students consisting of 95 students of Ankara University and 55 students of Gazi University. The total number of the latter group was less than that of Ankara University as there were no students in their third and the last years at Gazi University. The demographic profile of the study illustrates that the majority of the respondents, whose ages range between 20-22 and %67 of whom were female, were graduates from Anatolian High Schools. Analysis of the study has revealed that the most important determinant of the choice of field of study is the expectation of their job prospects on graduating. The study further suggests that approximately half of the students are pleased with their fields of study and university and it also shows that they have high levels of expectation and motivation concerning their fields of study. Overall, the study has concluded that there is a significant relationship between the students’ satisfaction, expectation and motivation levels
