The samples of 222 employees were selected by using purposive sampling method. Arithmetic mean, standard deviation, One-way ANOVA and LSD post hoc multiple comparisons were applied in the data analysis.

The findings revealed that in general, the perceptions of risk factors on the four missions were ranked low. The risk related to teaching was the highest followed by cultural preservation, social services and research, respectively. There was no significant difference in the perception of risk related to mission implementation among the employees of different educational backgrounds, working experiences, positions and institutions.
