Within the scope of this research, the relationships between work life quality levels and organizational commitment of the academicians carrying on their duties in faculties of sports sciences was aimed to be investigated. In the research on relational screening model, Work Life Quality Scale developed by Sirgy et al. (2001) and adapted into Turkish by Afşar (2011), and Organizational Commitment Scale developed by Meyer and Allen (1997) and adapted into Turkish by Varol (2010) were performed to 325 volunteer participants. In the research, descriptive statistics (number of persons, minimum, maximum, average, standard deviation) related to the work life quality and organizational commitments of the academicians were calculated. Multivariate variance analysis (MANOVA) was calculated for determining whether work life quality of the participants differed significantly according to their demographical properties. Pearson correlation coefficient was also calculated for determining the relationship level between work life quality levels and organizational commitments of the participants. In tests of difference, p level of significance was accepted to be 0.05. At the end of the research, it was determined that work life quality of academicians was slightly over medium level, and their organizational commitment was at a medium level. When analyzed in terms of the demographical variables, as the level of age and period for working in the institution increased, work life quality was noticed to increase, as well. Furthermore, as the work life quality of the participants increased, their organizational commitment was specified to increase positively.
This study aimed to examine the academicians' perceptions regarding supervisor support, co-worker support and life satisfaction. In the study, a survey method in a quantitative research approach was adopted. The study was carried out with the target population, which consists of 778 academicians. Consequently, a total of 317 academicians participated voluntarily. To analyze the data correlation, Kruskal Wallis H Test and Mann Whitney U Test were computed. The results of the study revealed that life satisfaction of academicians displayed no significant difference regarding gender; on the other hand, there were statistically significant differences based on professional seniority and marital status. In addition, academicians' perceived co-worker support did not differ depending on gender and marital status while it demonstrated significant differences in relation to length of service. Moreover, academicians' perceived supervisor support showed no significant difference in terms of gender, length of service and marital status. The results of the study also indicated that there were statistically significant positive relationships between life satisfaction and perceived co-worker support, supervisor support.
The aim of this research was to investigate the effect of educational stakeholders' perceptions of quality of work life on their job satisfaction and organizational commitment. The selection criteria for the inclusion of the studies for this aim were defined. As a result of the literature review based on these criteria, in total 29 studies were researched. The total sampling size of these studies is 6829. The random effects model (REM) was used to calculate the effect sizes. As a result of the analysis conducted according to REM, the general effect of educational stakeholders' perceptions of quality of work life is at strong level on organizational commitment (r = .56) and job satisfaction (r = .56). It was seen in the moderator analysis that grade level has a moderator role in the effect of quality of work life on organizational commitment as opposed to sampling participants and the country variable where the research was conducted. On the other hand, it was found out that the grade level and the country variables are moderators in the effect of quality of work life on job satisfaction as opposed to the sampling participants' variable. Based on these results, it can be expressed that quality of work life has a significant role in educational stakeholders' organizational commitment and job satisfaction.
Preparation of exam programs in universities includes timetabling problem with multiple constraints within the literature. In this problem, solution to assign existing group of students into the right places and invigilators to these places at the same time not more than once at a time is searched. Due to problems that arise while preparation stage and implementation, it is quite difficult to compose manually the exam programs that contains many constraints in, and has a complex structure. In this context, eliminating all the problems that may arise and creating an automated system that to be able to make optimal scheduling is the starting point of this study. In this direction, in order to solve the scheduling problem, a software was developed that is providing cooperation with both side of problem. A university was chosen as application area. The developed computer software was provided making assignments electronically with considering constraints. C# software language and MSSQL relational database system were used during developing software. Software includes two dimensions. As at first dimension, assignments are made, at second dimension making reassignments between proctors are provided. This software was designed in such a way that exam responsibles, responsible lecturers and faculty management can see and report each stage. Developed software targets to solve problems due to non-regular exam program, especially at intense exam periods. Keywords: Exam Scheduling, Exam Programme, Software

The purpose of this qualitative case study is to investigate the common issues and factors associated with organizational identity from the viewpoint of faculty members employed during the 2011-2012 academic year in the Faculty of Education at Mersin University in Mersin, Turkey. The sample of this study consisted of 14 faculty members, including professors, associate professors, and assistant professors from the Faculty of Education. The data was gathered by utilizing the semi-structured interview method, which consisted of 16 interview questions developed by the researcher. The data, collected from interviews, was content-analyzed by identifying, coding, and categorizing the primary patterns of the data. Analysis of the data revealed that there are a number of common issues and factors associated with the organizational identity of faculty members. As a result of the analysis, three main categories and a number of sub-categories emerged: Identity-related issues, identityrelevant outcomes and administrative issues. Considering these results, it may be proposed that the interviewed faculty members do not identify themselves with their faculty or sub-group of the faculty but rather as discrete individuals who as a whole comprise the faculty organization.
