Abstract (2. Language): 
Misyon açıklamaları örgütlerin varlık nedenlerini ortaya koyan, faaliyet sınırlarını yansıtan; içerdiği amaç, ilke ve değerlerle imaj yaratan, paydaşları motive eden önemli bir strateji ve örgütsel iletişim unsurudur. Açıklamaların içerik olarak temel ölçütlere uygun olması onların etkililiğini de artıracaktır. Misyon açıklamaları üç grup unsur içermelidir, bunlar: Paydaşlar, bileşenler ve amaçlardır. Bu çalışma Türkiye’deki özel üniversitelerin tümü ele alınarak yukarıda belirtilen unsurların üniversite misyon açıklamalarında ne ölçüde değinildiğini ortaya koymaya yönelik olarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Türkiye’deki 62 vakıf üniversitesinden 39 misyon açıklaması değerlendirilmiştir. Esas olarak vakıf üniversiteleri misyon açıklamalarının paydaşları düşük oranda, bileşenler ve amaçları ise yüksek oranda içerdiği görülmüştür. Türk özel üniversitelerinin misyon açıklamaları genel olarak işleve uygundur.
