Öz:
Bu çalışmanın amacı, üniversite öğrencilerinin algılanan okul kültürü düzeylerinin öğrenci sadakati seviyelerini yordama düzeylerini belirlemektir. Bu araştırma ilişkisel desende tasarlanmıştır. Okul kültürü bağımsız değişken, öğrenci sadakati bağımlı değişkendir. Çalışmanın örneklemini, tabakalı örnekleme yöntemi ile belirlenmiş 382 üniversite öğrencisi oluşturmaktadır. Veri toplamak için Okul Kültür Ölçeği ve Öğrenci Sadakat Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın bulgularına göre öğrenci sadakati düzeyi fakülte tipi, sınıf düzeyi ve dersi alttan/üstten/düzenli almaya göre farklılaşmaktadır. Okul kültürü faktörlerinin öğrenci sadakatini yordayıp yordamadığını belirlemek için çoklu regresyon analizi yapılmış ve sırasıyla öğretim elemanı-öğrenci ilişkisi, bağlılık, yapı/işleyiş ve destek faktörlerinin öğrenci sadakatinin %38’ini yordadığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
