SUMMARY

This research has aimed to examine the effectiveness of the health management departments of universities which train health managers in Turkey. The study compares ‐ for lecturers and students ‐ nine variables of organisational effectiveness. These nine dimensions are derived from Cameron (1978; 1981; 1986). Factor analysis was used to validate the scale developed by the researcher. For internal consistency and reliability, the Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficient and item total correlation were applied. A questionnaire was administered to a total of 207 people in health management departments in Turkey. In analysis of the data, descriptive statistics and the t‐test were used. According to our research findings, at individual university level, lecturers found their departments more effective than did their students. The highest effectiveness was perceived at Baskent University, a private university. The best outcome was achieved for ‘organisational health’, and ‘the ability to acquire resources’ achieved the lowest outcome. Effectiveness overall was found to be moderate.
