论文摘要
本文分析了土耳其大学最初雇用研究助理的程序，以查看它是否符合规则和法规。我们手动收集了来自53所土耳其大学的2409个申请人数据，以查看申请人是否根据土耳其高等教育委员会建议的规则对申请人进行排名。该规则手册指出，应根据其GPA的加权平均水平，研究生考试成绩，学术考试成绩和外语技能得分对申请人进行排名。因此，研究助手的选择应该是一个公平的过程，在该过程中，根据客观指标对每个申请人进行评估。但是，我们对数据的分析表明，申请人的最终得分几乎完全基于招聘机构进行的高度主观学术考试。因此，申请人GPA，标准化的研究生考试评分，标准化外语评分与选择过程无关，这使其成为基于偏爱的非常不公平的过程。
This article analyzes the procedure for the initial employment of research assistants in Turkish universities to see if it complies with the rules and regulations. We manually collected 2409 applicant data from 53 Turkish universities to see if applicants are ranked according to the rules suggested by the Higher Education Council of Turkey. The rulebook states that applicants should be ranked according to a final score based on the weighted average of their GPA, graduate examination score, academic examination score, and foreign language skills score. Thus, the research assistant selection is supposed to be a fair process where each applicant is evaluated based on objective metrics. However, our analysis of data suggests that the final score of the applicants is almost entirely based on the highly subjective academic examination conducted by the hiring institution. Thus, the applicants GPA, standardized graduate examination score, standardized foreign language score are irrelevant in the selection process, making it a very unfair process based on favoritism.
