Yayın Future in higher education: digital university(Işık Üniversitesi, 2023-06-13) Eşkinat, Ali; Teker, Suat; Işık Üniversitesi, Lisansüstü Eğitim Enstitüsü, Çağdaş İşletme Yönetimi Doktora ProgramıCurrently, higher education institutions are facing the necessity to adapt their educational delivery methods and operate in a globalized marketplace. Universities must reconsider how they provide access to their courses anywhere and at any time. Not only do they need to meet the increasing digital expectations of Generation Z students, but they also have to be prepared for the upcoming Generation Alpha. The concept of higher education and the evaluation of its main actors, universities, have been widely discussed since the Medieval age. The first-generation University 1.0 emerged as information transfer centers in the 11th Century. Following that, the second-generation University 2.0 appeared as information transfer and research centers in the 19th Century. The 1970s witnessed the emergence of the thirdgeneration University 3.0, which encompassed information transfer, research, and application (university-industry) centers. Subsequently, the fourth-generation University 4.0 flourished as a digitalized university, relying on technological and social innovations during the digital transformation era of the 2000s. The aim of this thesis is to provide a forward-looking perspective on the upcoming fifth-generation University 5.0, particularly its projected rise by the 2030s as a digital university targeting the global market and conducting education activities in a translocal and transtemporal manner worldwide. Through an extensive literature review, this prediction was confirmed, considering the growing impact of digital transformation, technological innovations, and the attitudes and expectations of the existing Generation Z university students and their successors, Generation Alpha. To further investigate this, a research survey was conducted with three different groups: university students, academics, and employers/managers, comprising a total of 346 participants. The survey questionnaire was designed based on four main pillars of questions, employing a composite approach to clarify the eight hypotheses of this study. The findings revealed a significant and linear relationship between the participants' importance assigned to digital education and their importance placed on digitalization. Additionally, a significant and linear relationship was observed between the importance given to digital education and the importance given to university education. Both students' preferences and university strategies currently exhibit a positive approach towards the hybrid education model. Furthermore, a similar attitude is projected for the future prevalence of virtual education models after the 2030s. As a result, this study anticipates that universities will increasingly offer hybrid model education based on market demand until 2030, with varying adoption rates across different disciplines such as medicine, engineering, social sciences, and others. Beyond 2030, traditional universities will continue to utilize blended learning, while digital higher education institutions of University 5.0 will experience inevitable growth.Yayın Improving employee coping capabilities amid pandemic-induced remote working conditions via the application of MBSR (Mindfulness-based stress reduction) training(Işık Üniversitesi, 2022-06-17) Yelkencioğlu, İhsan; Yüksel, Ahmet Hakan; Işık Üniversitesi, Lisansüstü Eğitim Enstitüsü, Çağdaş İşletme Yönetimi Doktora ProgramıRemote working has become an essential part of the work environment since the COVID-19 pandemic. The old habits of business life changed instantly. Accordingly, some challenges emerged for both organizations and employees in adapting to the new situation. These challenges have created stress among employees, affecting their personal lives and business lives. This study examines the perceived stress, well-being, self-awareness, self-efficacy, and resilience levels of remote-working employees in Turkey before and after the eight-week, online Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Program was implemented during the Covid-19 pandemic. For the implementation of the study, three groups of employees - all working remotely – were assembled. The first experimental group was 20 employees from an insurance company. The second experimental group was 14 employees from a beverage company. They all received the MBSR training, which was given by the author, for eight weeks. The third group was the control group of 33 employees from different sectors, and they did not receive any MBSR training. Before and after the MBSR program, a survey was conducted among both the control group and the experimental groups. In this current study, “The Perceived Stress Scale” was used to determine the stress level of the participants, “The WHO Well-being Scale” was used to determine the well-being level of the participants, “The Mindfulness Attention Awareness Scale” was used to determine the self-awareness level of the participants, “The Brief Resilience Scale” was used to determine the resilience level of the participants, and “The General Self-efficacy Scale” was used to determine the self-efficacy level of the participants. The data collected from the surveys were evaluated through the IBM SPSS Statistics 25 program. The model employed by the research intends to indicate that there is a significant change in the perceived stress, self-awareness, self-efficacy, well-being, and resilience levels of those who received the MBSR training rather than in the levels of those who did not receive the MBSR training.
