Yönetsel Değer Çalışmalarına Yönelik Bir Yazın İncelemesi

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, değer kavramı detaylı bir biçimde irdelenmiştir. Bir kavram olarak değer farklı açılardan ele alınmış, sonrasında tutum, norm, inanç, davranış, kişilik ve karakter gibi ilişkili kavramlar ile birlikte açıklanmıştır. Yönetsel değerler, iş değerleri ve örgütsel düzeyde değerlere dair açıklamalarda bulunulmuştur. Yönetsel değerleri kültürlerarası bağlamda ve ulusal kültür bağlamında ele alan çalışmalara yönelik bir yazın taramasına yer verilmiştir. Bunun yanı sıra yönetsel değerleri demografik değişkenler, fonksiyonel farklılıklar ve birtakım diğer örgütsel değişkenler açısından ele alan çalışmalar da irdelenmiştir. Bu doğrultuda, bu çalışmanın esas amacı yönetsel değer kavramını ele alan çalışmalara ilişkin detaylı bir inceleme sunmaktır. Çalışmada, yönetsel değer çalışmalarının hangi alanlarda yoğunlaştığına, bu alanlarda hangi çalışmaların yapıldığına ve bu alanların nasıl kategorize edilebileceğine dair sorulara cevap aranmıştır. Yazında kültürlerarası karşılaştırmalı bir perspektifle yönetsel değerleri inceleyen çalışmaların ve ulusal kültürde baskın olan yönetsel değerlerin açığa çıkarılmasına yönelik çalışmaların daha yoğun olduğu gözlemlenmiştir. Çalışmanın, ilgili alanda çalışma yapacak olan araştırmacılara alana dair detaylı bir perspektif sunacağı düşünülmektedir.
