Abstract :This study aims to analyze the effect of perceived future employability on future anxiety of undergraduate and associate degree students studying healthcare management in Turkish universities. In addition, whether there is a difference between students’ perceived future employability and future anxiety levels in the context of demographic variables was also investigated. As a result of the findings, it was determined that perceived future employability has a negative and statistically significant but low effect on future anxiety. The effect of the sub-dimensions of the perceived future employability scale on future anxiety was also examined, and it was found that the dimensions of perceived future communication network, expected reputation of the educational institution and perceived future skills predicted future anxiety negatively and statistically significantly. In the context of demographic variables, a statistically significant difference was found only in the gender variable. Future anxiety of women is higher than that of men. Within the framework of these results, it is possible to say that the perceived future employability levels of undergraduate and associate degree students studying healthcare management in Turkish universities are high, and most of their future concerns are shaped by different factors.
