İşgücü Piyasaları Bağlamında Endüstri 4.0 Kavramına İlişkin Üniversite Öğrencilerinin Metaforik Görüşleri

Bu araştırmanın temel amacı, işgücü piyasaları bağlamında Endüstri 4.0 kavramına ilişkin üniversite öğrencilerinin sahip oldukları görüşleri, metaforlar aracılığıyla analiz etmektir. Araştırma; nitel araştırma metodolojisine uygun olarak tasarlanmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma alanı, Atatürk Üniversitesi’dir. Katılımcılar, kriter örnekleme yöntemi kullanılarak belirlenmiştir. İşgücü piyasana yönelik müfredata sahip ve yakın zamanda işgücü piyasasına katılacak olmaları nedeniyle Çalışma Ekonomisi ve Endüstri İlişkileri Bölümü öğrencilerinden dördüncü sınıflar, çalışmanın katılımcıları olarak belirlenmiştir. Katılımcılara metaforlar oluşturmaları için, “Bana göre Endüstri 4.0 işgücü piyasası için …………… gibidir, çünkü……………” ifadesinin yazılı bulunduğu formlar çevrimiçi ortamda gönderilmiş ve boşlukları doldurmaları istenmiştir. Araştırma sonunda 33 geçerli metafor oluşturulmuş ve bu metaforlar 3 farklı kategori altında toplanmıştır. Buna göre, üniversite öğrencileri; Endüstri 4.0 kavramını işgücü piyasaları bağlamında bir fırsat, tehdit ve belirsizlik olarak algılamaktadır. Temalar, cinsiyetlere göre ayrıca değerlendirilerek, kadın öğrenciler özelinde incelenmiştir. Sonuç olarak öğrencilerin, Endüstri 4.0 ile ilgili fırsatlar ve tehditler bakımından tutarlı görüşlere sahip olduğu ancak yeterli düzeyde farkındalık geliştirmedikleri belirlenmiştir.

The Metaphoric Opinions of University Students in The Context of Labor Markets Regarding The Concept of Industry 4.0

The main purpose of this research is to analyze the opinions of university students regarding the concept of Industry 4.0 in the context of labor markets by using metaphors. The research was designed in the qualitative research methodology. Participants were determined using the criterion sampling method. Fourth-grade students in the Department of Labor Economics and Industrial Relations were participants of the research. To create metaphors, they were sent semi-structured forms online and they were asked to fill in the blanks “I think, Industry 4.0 is like …………… for the labor market, because ……………”. At the end of the research, 33 metaphors were produced and these metaphors were collected in three different categories. Accordingly, university students perceive the Industry 4.0 concept as an opportunity, threat, and uncertainty in the context of labor markets. The themes were evaluated with genders and examined in particular for female students. As a result, students have consistent opinions but; have not a sufficient level of awareness, about Industry 4.0.
