Abstract (2. Language): 
In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the factors affecting university administrators’ and faculty’s perceptions of their alumni and university-alumni relationship and factors providing an establishment of a sufficient relationship between university and its alumni. For this reason, interviews were conducted with thirteen university administrators and seventeen faculty members in three state universities and one private university in Istanbul. At the end of the content analysis; it was found that university administrators and faculty had positive attitudes towards their alumni and positive approach towards forming and maintaining relationships with them. They also supported the idea that universities should consider their alumni as an integrated part of themselves and universities needed to organize activities aiming at reaching their alumni and establishing strong relationships with them. They also emphasized that identifying alumni perceptions towards their alma mater would result in alumni’s establishing relationships with their alma mater more often. However, they stated that they were not satisfied with the relationship between the university they work and their alumni, and they didn’t find universities’ efforts to improve university-alumni relationship sufficient.

Abstract (Original Language): 
Bu araştırmada; yüksek öğretim kurumları yöneticilerinin ve öğretim elemanlarının üniversitenin mezunlarla ilişkilerine bakış açılarını etkileyen faktörler, mezunlara ve mezunlarla ilişkilere dair sahip oldukları algıları biçimlendiren faktörler ve mezunlarla verimli bir ilişki kurulmasını sağlayan faktörler gibi etkenlerin şekillendirdiği mezunları algılama biçimleri değerlendirilmeye çalışılmıştır. Bu amaçla, İstanbul ilinde üç devlet üniversitesi ve bir vakıf üniversitesinde görev yapmakta olan on üç yönetici ve on yedi öğretim elemanıyla görüşmeler yapılmış ve görüşme sonuçları betimsel olarak analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda; üniversitede görev yapmakta olan yöneticilerin ve öğretim elemanlarının görev yapmakta oldukları üniversitenin mezunlarıyla ilişkiler kurulması ve sürdürülmesi düşüncesine karşı olumlu bir yaklaşım içerisinde oldukları belirlenmiştir. Üniversite yöneticileri ve öğretim elemanları üniversitelerin, mezunlarını da kurumun bir parçası olarak görmeleri ve mezunlarına yönelik faaliyetler yürütmeleri gerektiği düşüncesini desteklemektedirler. Mezunların mezun oldukları kurumlara yönelik algılarının belirlenmesinin mezunların üniversiteyle daha fazla bağ kurma davranışına yol açacağı fikrini desteklemektedirler. Ancak, üniversitelerinin mezunlarla şu anda var olan ilişkisinin niteliğinden memnun olmadıklarını, üniversitenin mezunlarla ilişkilerini geliştirmeye yönelik çabalarını yeterli bulmadıklarını ve var olan faaliyetlerin daha etkili bir biçimde devam ettirilebileceğini belirtmektedirler.
