Data was collected by perceived social status questionnaire, perceived organizational support questionnaire, perceived political scale, participation in organizational decisions scale. Findings showed that % 40 of participants believed that the social status of faculty members was decreased. Correlational and regression model revealed that participation in organizational decision-making (% 13), perceived organizational politics (% 3) and perceived organizational support (% 1) could predict perceived social status.
