The continuity of the organizations is directly proportional to the satisfaction of the service recipients. The presence of many partners, beneficiaries and employees in cooperatives requires high cooperation. Therefore, it is important to reveal the service quality of the cooperatives and to determine the expectations of the partners. This study was carried out in Çukobirlik, which ranks third in Turkey cooperatives and first among the agricultural cooperatives in terms of number of partners, with the aim of determining the partners’ service satisfaction, their perception related to cooperative activities and their intentions for diversification of these activities. 831 surveys were applied. 94.8% of the participants in the study are men and the agricultural production experience of 76.4% of them is over 21 years. It was seen that the satisfaction level of the partners from Çukobirlik’s services is high in all dimensions, and the dimensions of assurance, competency and enthusiasm came to the fore compared to other dimensions. With the global pandemic of Covid-19, it has once again manifested itself that agricultural production is an activity that is the first and most affected by all extraordinary situations and affects all humanity with its results. The collective production model is a guarantee of sustainability.

Örgütlerin devamlılığı hizmet alanların memnuniyeti ile doğru orantılıdır. Kooperatiflerde çok sayıda ortak, yararlanıcı ve çalışanların varlığı iş birliğinin yüksek olmasını gerektirir. Bu nedenle kooperatiflerin hizmet kalitesinin ortaya konulması ve ortakların beklentilerinin belirlenmesi önemlidir. Bu çalışma, Türkiye’deki kooperatifler içerisinde ortak sayısı bakımından 3. sırada olan, tarımsal kooperatifler arasında da ilk sırada yer alan tarım satış kooperatiflerinde ortakların hizmetlerden memnuniyeti, kooperatif faaliyetleri ile ilgili algıları ve faaliyetlerin çeşitlenmesine yönelik niyetlerini belirlemek amacıyla Çukobirlik özelinde yapılmıştır. Çukobirlik’in faaliyetinin olduğu 11 ilde gönüllülük esasına göre 831 ortakla yüz yüze olarak anket uygulanmıştır. Çalışmaya katılanların %94.8’i erkek olup, %76.4’ünün tarımsal üretim deneyimi 21 yılın üzerindedir. Ortakların Çukobirlik’in hizmetlerinden memnuniyet düzeyleri her boyutta yüksek olduğu görülmüş olup, güvence ve yeterlilik boyutu ile heveslilik boyutu diğer boyutlara nazaran öne çıkmıştır. Tarımsal üretim faaliyetinin tüm olağanüstü durumlardan ilk ve en fazla etkilenen, sonuçları ile tüm insanlığı etkileyen bir faaliyet olduğu, küresel düzeyde yaşanan COVID-19 kaynaklı pandemi ile bir kez daha kendisini göstermiştir. Kolektif üretim modeli sürdürülebilirliğin bir güvencesidir.
