  The aim of the study is to determine the effect of the brand on purchasing
decision on generation Y. For this purpose, a face-to-face survey was conducted
with 231 people in the Y age range who have purchased mobile phones in the last
year. The study was conducted with young academicians and university students
working in Harran University Vocational High Schools. The collected data were
analysed with AMOS and SPSS statistical package programs using structural
equation modelling. According to the results of the research, the prestige,
name and reliability of the brand have a significant impact on the purchase
decision of the Y generation. Price, advertising campaigns and technical
services of the brand also affect this decision less. On the other hand, the
place where mobile phone brands are produced and the importance they attach to
social responsibility projects do not affect the purchasing decision.
