The aim of this study was to determine the efficiency of surgical services offered by a public hospital, to rank efficient services and to determine important factors on efficiency of services. DEA (to determine efficiency of services) and GRA (to rank efficient services and ranking of important variables in efficiency) were used in this study. DEA showed that all services were observably efficient except Cardiovascular and Plastic surgery. GRA showed that the services of Ophthalmology, Otorhinolaryngology (ENT) and Paediatric Surgery shared the first three ranks in order of decreasing frequency. Findings obtained from GRA, the most important variables in the performances of surgical services were found to be the number of patients and healthcare personnel. Findings obtained from this study are thought to help inefficient services to attain an efficient structure. When the importance of this issue regarding hospitals and the government is considered, similarly designed studies should be continually updated and revised in line with changing circumstances. When shortcomings in the existing literature are taken into account, this could be considered to be a pioneer study that will contribute to the literature and promote future studies to be conducted on this issue.

In this study the relationship among mathematics anxiety, mathematics attitude, and mathematics success of the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration students were examined. The sample of the study included 1440 students from the Business Administration, Economics and Finance departments of nine universities in Turkey. The 'Math Anxiety Scale' and 'Math Attitude Scale' instruments were used. Demographic information form which was prepared by the authors of this paper was also used. The variance analysis, chi-square, independent samples, t test techniques were used for statistical analyses. According to the results of the analyses, there is no relationship between the level of mathematics anxiety and gender, but the level of mathematics anxiety, department, class, mathematics success and general academic success are related. The Finance department students have higher level of mathematics anxiety than the others. While the mathematics success is decreasing, the level of mathematics anxiety is increasing. However, while the level of mathematics anxiety is increasing, the general academic success is also increasing. Finally, we presented some special strategies for studying mathematics, doing homework, and taking exams in an aim to avoid from the math anxiety.

Bu araştırmanın amacı işletmelerin işveren markası adı altında çalışanlarını elde tutmak ve potansiyel adayları işletmeye çekebilmek adına sundukları uygulamaların mevcut çalışanların işe bağlılıkları üzerine etkisi olup olmadığını belirlemektir. Araştırmanın verileri Eskişehir Organize Sanayi Bölgesi'nde faaliyetini sürdüren bir beyaz eşya firmasının 223 beyaz yaka çalışanından anket tekniği ile toplanmıştır. Açıklayıcı Faktör Analizi (AFA) sonucunda işe bağlılık ölçeği 3 temel faktör, işveren markası ölçeği 5 temel faktör altında toplanmıştır. İşveren markası uygulamalarının çalışanların işe bağlılıkları üzerine etkisini belirlemek amacıyla yapılan Regresyon Analizi sonucunda; işletmenin işveren markası uygulamalarının çalışanlarının işe bağlılıkları üzerinde pozitif yönde anlamlı bir etkisi olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır.
