Abstract

Günümüz iş dünyasında işletmelerin başarılı bir şekilde mücadele etmeleri için stratejik çeviklik, kritik bir özellik olarak kabul edilmektedir. Dolayısıyla stratejik çeviklik üzerinde etkisi olan değişkenlerin belirlenmesi stratejik yönetim literatürü açısından oldukça önemlidir. Bu araştırmanın amacı stratejik farkındalık ve stratejik çeviklik arasındaki ilişkide stratejik yeteneğin aracılık etkisini incelemektir. Araştırmada nicel araştırma yöntemi olan ilişkisel tarama modeli kullanılmış, veriler 391 yöneticiden anket tekniğiyle elde edilmiştir. Veriler analiz edilirken SPSS ve LİSREL programlarından yararlanılmıştır. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre stratejik farkındalığın, stratejik çeviklik üzerinde anlamlı bir etkisi vardır. Bununla birlikte stratejik yetenek, stratejik farkındalık ve stratejik çeviklik arasındaki ilişkide önemli düzeyde anlamlı bir aracılık rolüne sahiptir.

Abstract

In today’s business world, strategic agility is a critical feature for businesses to tackle successfully. Therefore, determining the variables that affect strategic agility is crucial in strategic management literature.

The relational model, one of the quantitative research methods, was used in the research, and the data were obtained from 391 managers by questionnaire technique. SPSS and LISREL programs were used to analyse the data. According to the research results, although strategic awareness significantly affects strategic agility, strategic capability has a significant mediating role in the relationship between strategic awareness and strategic agility.
