Abstract

Amaç - Bu çalışmada, Türkiye’de İSO ilk 500 sanayi kuruluşu içerisinde yer alan kuruluşların iş insanlarının sosyal ağlara katılma nedenlerinin
belirlenmesi amaçlanmaktadır.
Metodoloji – Araştırma yöntemi olarak, araştırma sorusu gereği, araştırma verilerine dayanılarak niceliksel araştırma yöntemleri kullanılmıştır.
Literatürdeki tartışmalardan yola çıkarak oluşturulan araştırma sorularını açıklamaya yönelik kuramsal çerçeve geliştirilmiş ve ağlara katılma
nedenlerine yönelik gerekçeler oluşturulmuştur. Bu belirlenen 10 gerekçe, ağlara ilişkin çıkarımlarımızı desteklemek amacıyla Türk iş insanlarına
anket formu yoluyla sorulmuştur.
Bulgular - İş insanlarının ağlara katılma gerekçelerinde Türkiye’ye özgü birtakım sonuçlar görülmektedir. Türkiye’de ağ ilişkilerinin oluşumunda ve
Türk iş insanlarının bu ağlara katılma gerekçelerinde yerelliğin etkisi görülmektedir. Benzer profildeki iş insanlarının benzer ağlarda toplandıkları
tespit edilmiştir.
Sonuç - İş insanlarının aynı bölgede yaşama ve çalışma, cinsiyet, tutulan spor kulübü, hemşehri ve mesleki dayanışma ağları gibi bağlama göre
birbirleriyle bağlantılı yakınlaşmalar, gruplaşmalar ve kümelenmeler içerisinde bulundukları görülmektedir. Türk iş insanlarının da ağırlıklı olarak
kendileri ile benzer nitelikleri taşıyan insanlarla bir araya gelmelerini sağlayan sosyal ağlarda yer aldıkları tespit edilmiştir. Araştırmanın sonuçları,
girişimcilerin ortak özellikte olan diğer iş insanları ile yerleşik ilişkiler kurabildiğini göstermektedir. Türkiye’deki yerleşiklik etkisi, Batı’ya göre farklı
saikler ve sonuçlar üretmektedir.

among the first 500 industrial enterprises of ISO in Turkey.
Methodology- As a research method, quantitative research methods were used, based on the research data, in accordance with the research

for joining the networks were created. These 10 reasons were asked to Turkish business people via a questionnaire in order to support your
conclusions about networks.
Findings- There are some results specific to Turkey in the reasons for business people to join the networks. The effect of locality is seen in the
formation of network relations in Turkey and the reasons for Turkish business people to join these networks. It has been determined that business
people with similar profiles gather in similar networks.
Conclusion- It is seen that business people are in convergence, groupings and clusters related to each other according to the context, such as
living and working in the same region, gender, sports clubs, fellow countrymen and professional solidarity networks. It has been determined that
Turkish business people are mostly involved in social networks that enable them to come together with people with similar qualifications. The
results of the research show that entrepreneurs can establish established relationships with other business people with common characteristics.
