Eren AKMAN is a Senior Lecturer at Kastamonu University's Tosya Vocational School, Department of Medical Services and Techniques, specializing in health management systems and healthcare quality. Holding a PhD in Health Management from Marmara University (2024), he has built his career on empirical research addressing critical healthcare challenges in Turkey and internationally.
His academic credentials include:
- PhD in Health Management, Marmara University Institute of Health Sciences (2018-2024)
- MSc in Health Management (Thesis), Marmara University Institute of Health Sciences (2016-2018)
- BSc in Health Management, Istanbul University Faculty of Health Sciences (2012-2016)
Dr. Akman's research spans four core domains: Health Management systems, Healthcare Quality assessment, Nursing Management dynamics, and comparative Health Systems analysis. His work uniquely bridges theoretical frameworks like SERVQUAL and Hirschman's EVLN theory with practical healthcare challenges, particularly focusing on nurse well-being, financial sustainability of healthcare institutions, and pandemic impacts on healthcare workers. Recent publications demonstrate increasing sophistication in methodology, incorporating moderated mediation models to analyze complex workplace phenomena.
Analysis of his 15 publications (2018-2024) reveals an evolving research trajectory: early work concentrated on financial analysis of healthcare institutions (2018-2019), shifting toward nurse psychology and quality management (2020-2021), with current emphasis on pandemic-related workforce challenges (2023-2024). His publications predominantly utilize quantitative methods applied to Turkish healthcare settings, with growing international comparative elements.
Dr. Akman leads the TÜBİTAK-funded project "Professional Perceptions of Healthcare Workers: Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic" (2023-2024) and serves in multiple administrative capacities including Department Head, Quality Committee Member, and Management Board Member at Kastamonu University. His teaching portfolio includes Healthcare Management, Biostatistics, and Professional Ethics for associate-degree students. He maintains active research collaborations with scholars from Marmara University and Niğde Ömer Halisdemir University, particularly with Koray Kopuz (10 joint publications).
