OTOMOTİV SEKTÖRÜNDE YÖNETİM VE LİDERLİK TÜRÜ: TÜRKİYE'DEN GÖRÜNÜM

Öz

Bu çalışmada Türkiye ihracatında önemli bir yere sahip olan otomotiv sektöründe 'yönetim' ve 'liderlik' kültürü örneklerle ölçülmüştür. Örgütsel kültür, 'pazar', 'adhokrasi', 'klan' ve 'hiyerarşi' tipolojilerine göre ölçülmüştür. İlk elden toplanan veriler üzerinde bir ölçüm aracı olarak 'rekabetçi değerler çerçevesi' kullanılmıştır. ‘Rekabetçi değerler çerçevesinin’ kullanılması, örnek şirketlerde genel organizasyon kültürünün tanımlanmasını da sağlamıştır. Çalışma sonucunda otomotiv endüstrisinin yönetiminde ve liderliğinde, müşteri ve dış odaklı, aynı zamanda başarı ve rekabete odaklanan 'pazar' tipi kültürün hakimiyeti ortaya konmuştur. Pazar kültürü türü, özellikle tüm örnek şirketlerin 'organizasyonel liderlik' boyutlarında en üst kültür türü olarak gözlemlenmiştir. Bu sonuçlar ışığında çalışma bize, yönetimde ve liderlikte ‘başarı’ algısının yoğun bir şekilde 'iş sonuçlarına' odaklandığını göstermiştir.
