This research, which aims to determine the employer branding perception levels of the employees, consists of two different parts, Study-1 and Study-2. While Study-1 deals with the effect of employer branding on the perception and attitudes of the potential workforce that has not yet entered the business life in the context of our country, Study-2; Considering the effect of employer branding on the perception and attitudes of the workforce currently employed in a workplace, the effect of employer branding on work engagement and turnover intention is discussed. In addition, the mediating role of work engagement in the relationship between employer branding and turnover intention was also examined. In Study-1, whether the sub-dimensions of employer brand differ in terms of gender and department type was examined by t-test analysis.

In the findings obtained for the research questions raised within the scope of Study-1, a significant difference was found in the attitudes of women and men towards the Sub-dimension of Employer Branding, Development Value and Application Value.
