Abstract

Örgütlerin içinde bulundukları yönetim uygulamalarının pozitif yönlü bir değişime yol açması,
çalışanların yapmış oldukları işlerde daha fazla anlam bulmaları ve her düzeydeki örgüt çalışanının
bir bütün olarak kendilerini gerçekleştirmeleriyle sonuçlanan, onarıcı/dönüştürücü bir iyileşme süreci
olarak tanımlanan “iyileşme (healing)” kavramı, son yıllarda araştırmacıların dikkatini çekmektedir. Bu
çalışmada çalışanına iyi gelen/iyileştiren örgüt uygulamalarının neler olabileceğine dair niteliksel bir saha araştırması gerçekleştirilmiştir. 12 katılımcıyla gerçekleştirilen yapılandırılmış mülakatlarda yöneltilen 3
soru, bu çalışmanın araştırma sorularıdır. Katılımcılara fiziksel, finansal, sosyal, psikolojik, entelektüel ve
mesleki iyi oluşlarına katkıda bulunan örgütsel uygulamaların neler olduğu ve bu uygulamaların çalışan ve
örgüt açısından ne gibi katkıları olduğu sorulmuştur. Toplanan verilerin içerik analizi sonucunda iyileştiren
örgüt uygulamaları iki tema altında derlenmiştir. Kişisel gelişime ve mesleki gelişime destek olan örgütsel
uygulamaların çalışanların örgütsel vatandaşlık davranışları, örgütsel bağlılık, iş/yaşam memnuniyeti,
işle ilgili duyumsanan anlamlılık gibi olumlu katkıları olduğu bulgulanmıştır. Bu çalışmanın, konuyla
ilgili ulusal yazında yapılmış ilk nitel araştırma olması nedeniyle, araştırma sonuçlarının hem bu alanda
çalışan araştırmacılara hem de çalışma hayatında belirleyici bir rolü olan yöneticilere yol gösterici olacağı
düşünülmektedir.

in a positive change in the management practices of organizations, employees finding more meaning in
the work they do, and the realization of themselves as a whole by organizational employees at all levels,
has gained popularity in recent years. attracts the attention of researchers. In this study, qualitative
field research is conducted to find out the healing organization practices of the companies. Structured
interviews are conducted with 12 white color employees. Three questions that are asked to the participants
aimed to be the research question of this study. Participants were asked what organizational practices
contribute to their physical, financial, social, psychological, intellectual, and professional well-being
and what contributions these practices have for the employee and the organization. As a result of the
content analysis of the collected data, healing organizational practices were compiled under two themes.
Organizational practices that contribute to personal development and occupational development. It has
been found that organizational practices that support personal and professional development have positive
contributions such as employees’ organizational citizenship behaviors, organizational commitment, work/
life satisfaction, and sense of meaningfulness about work. Since this study is the first qualitative research
on “healing organizations” in the national literature, it is believed that the results of the research will
guide both researchers working on the topic and managers who have a decisive role in worklife.
