examining representation of female professors in Australian and Turkish
universities and identifying barriers to achieving seniority. The paper explores
factors, including leadership styles, which explain the higher representation of
female professors in Turkey, despite legislative frameworks and strategies in
Australia to improve representation of senior women. It then explores barriers to
women’s career advancement, including the difficult management culture, low
morale, informal processes in appointment and promotion, and lack of training
for management roles in Australia, and conflict between career and family roles in
Turkey. Finally, the paper identifies the impact of strategic choices on leadership
styles and women’s career advancement. This research questions the impact of
equal employment opportunity and affirmative action frameworks on women’s
representation as professors.

ÖZET
Bu çalışmada, Türkiye elektrik sektöründe 2000’li yıllarda başlatılan serbestleşme ve yeniden yapılanma çerçevesinde gerçekleştirilen uygulamalar neticesinde tamamen özelleştirilen Türkiye elektrik dağıtım sektörünün genel performansı değerlendirilmiştir. Elektrik dağıtım hizmeti bağlamında “kamu hizmeti sunumu” açısından değerlendirmeler yapılmış, genel olarak Türkiye’de hassas bir konu olan özelleştirme uygulamalarının elektrik sektöründeki yansımalarına bakılmıştır. Çalışmada, özelleştirmeler öncesi ve hemen sonrasında elektrik sektörünün performansı, sektörel kurum ve kuruluşlardan temin edilen veriler kullanılarak, fiyatlar, yatırımlar, kapasite kullanım oranları, karlılık ve maliyetler… vb. başlıklar çerçevesinde değerlendirilmiştir. Elektrik sektöründeki düzenleyici reformların başarısının temel göstergesini oluşturan sektörel performansın henüz çok da güçlenmediği görülmüştür. Bu çerçevede kapasite kullanım oranlarının istenen seviyelere erişemediği, elektrik maliyetleri ve fiyatlarında artış yaşandığı, sektörel kurumların finansal göstergelerindeki istikrarsızlığın giderilemediği izlenmiştir. Özellikle sektördeki yatırımların artırılması hususunda bu aşamada çok da başarılı olunamadığı görülmüştür.
