Abstract (2. Language): 
Successful efficiency measurement of university departments is very important issue in today’s globalised world and depends on paying high attention on critical input and output factors affecting efficiency measurement. In this study we aim to determine critical input and output factors in efficiency measurement of university departments by using fuzzy DEMATEL (Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory) method. Factors that are used in efficiency measurement of university departments have been extracted from the literature. Then Fuzzy DEMATEL method has been employed to separate cause and effect group of factors in input and output sets. Cause groups are advised to be used in DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis). This study is the first reference in the literature which uses a fuzzy DEMATEL technique in determination of effective critical input and output factors in successful efficiency measurement of university departments.
Abstract (Original Language): 
Günümüzün globalleşen dünyasında üniversite bölümlerinin başarılı etkinlik ölçümü çok önemli bir konudur ve bu ölçümün başarısı doğru girdi ve çıktı faktörlerinin belirlenmesine bağlıdır. Bu çalışmada, üniversite bölümlerinin etkinlik ölçümünde kullanılan kritik girdi ve çıktı faktörleri Bulanık DEMATEL (Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory) yöntemi kullanılarak belirlenmiştir. Öncelikle literatürden üniversite bölümlerinin etkinlik ölçümünde kullanılan faktörler elde edilmiştir. Daha sonra Bulanık DEMATEL yöntemi ile girdi ve çıktı kümeleri için ayrı ayrı etkileyen-etkilenen gruplar belirlenmiştir. Etkileyen grupların VZA’da (Veri Zarflama Analizi) kullanılması önerilmiştir. Bu çalışma üniversite bölümlerinin etkinliklerinin ölçülmesinde kullanılan kritik girdi ve çıktı faktörlerinin tayini için bulanık DEMATEL tekniğinin kullanıldığı literatürdeki ilk çalışmadır.
