Abstract

Bu çalışmada, aile işletmelerindeki aile üyelerinin çatışma yönetim tarzları, kurumsal mantıklardan biri olan aile mantığı çerçevesinde ele alınmakta, yazındaki ipuçlarından yola çıkarak tartışılmakta ve ileride bu konu üzerinde çalışacak araştırmacılar için sınanmak üzere kuramsal önermeler geliştirilmektedir. Aile mantığı, aile çıkarlarını korumayı amaçlayan, aile norm, değer ve amaçlarını kapsayan ve aile işletmeleri üyelerinin davranışlarını etkileyen bir kurumsal mantıktır. Çalışmada, aile mantığının, aile işletmelerindeki aile üyelerinin çatışmaları sonlandırmak için kullandıkları çatışma yönetim tarzlarını etkileyebileceği ileri sürülmektedir. Makalede çatışmalar iş ile ilgili çatışmalar ve kişisel çatışmalar olmak üzere iki grup altında ele alınmakta ve aile üyelerinin bu çatışmalar karşısında hangi çatışma yönetim tarzlarını kullanabilecekleri aile mantığı yazınından yola çıkılarak açıklanmaktadır. Aile mantığı yazını incelendiğinde, aile mantığının aile işletmelerini etkileme düzeyinin değişiklik gösterebildiği ve bazı aile işletmelerinin, aile mantığından güçlü düzeyde; bazılarının ise zayıf düzeyde etkilendiği gözlemlenmektedir. Çalışma kapsamında, aile mantığının, örgütleri etkileme düzeyinin aile üyelerinin iş ile ilgili çatışmaları sonlandırmak için kullandıkları “uyma ve uzlaşma” davranışları ve kişisel çatışmaları sonlandırmak için kullandıkları “kaçınma” davranışı üzerinde anlamlı etkisi olduğu ileri sürülmekte ve bu kuramsal önermelere yönelik tartışmalar yapılmaktadır. Bu doğrultuda yazında daha önce rastlanmayan önermelerle, gelecekte aile işletmelerindeki aile üyelerini örneklem olarak alacak araştırmacılara, çatışma yönetim tarzları ve kurumsal mantıklar çerçevesinde değerlendirilebilecek kuramsal bir önerme çalışması sunulmaktadır. Ayrıca bu çalışmanın, aile mantığı ve çatışma yönetim tarzlarını birlikte ele alması, hem aile mantığı ve çatışma yönetimi yazınlarına katkı sağlayabilmede, hem de aile mantığının aile işletmelerine etkisinin mevcut çalışmalarda tespit edilenden daha fazla olabileceğine dair bir anlayışın kazanılmasında etkili olacağı tahmin edilmektedir.

Evaluation of Conflict Management Styles of Family Members in Family Businesses in the Framework of Family Logic from Institutional Logic: Theoretical Proposition Study

Abstract

In this study, the conflict management styles of family members in family businesses are discussed within the framework of family logic, which is one of the institutional logics, and discussed on the basis of relevant studies in literature. Theoretical propositions are developed to be tested for researchers who will work on this research topic in the future. Family logic is an institutional logic which protects family interests, encompasses family norms, values and goals and affects the behavior of family businesses and their members. In this study, it is assumed that family logic may affect the conflict management styles of family members in family businesses. Also, conflicts are discussed under two groups as task and relationship conflicts and the family members’ conflict management styles against these conflicts are explained based on family logic literature. According to family logic literature, the effect of family logic on family businesses varies. Within the scope of this study, it is suggested that the level of family logic affecting organizations has a significant impact on compromising and accommodating behaviors of family members to end task conflicts and has a significant effect on avoiding behavior to end relationship conflicts. Discussions are made for these theoretical propositions. It is assumed that this study, with propositions that have not been made before in the literature, is important in terms of being a theoretical source that can be evaluated within the framework of conflict management styles and institutional logics for researchers who take family members as a sample. Furthermore, it is predicted that this study's handling of family logic and conflict management styles together will be useful both in contributing to family logic and conflict management literature, and also gaining an understanding that the impact of family logic on family businesses may be greater than it’s declared in current studies.
