The present study examines the validity of the founder of Turkish Republic; Mustafa Kemal Atatürk’s quotes “Where there is mutual liking and respect, there is trust and obedience. There is discipline where there is trust and obedience. There is peace of mind where there is discipline, and success where there is peace of mind.” and “Victory is for those who can say “Victory is mine.” Success is for those who can begin saying “I will succeed” and say “I have succeeded” in the end.” in today’s organizations. Based on these quotes, it aims to measure the antecedents of success in organizations and the relationships between these variables. The Questionnaire was applied to 400 employees of industry companies working in Istanbul who accepted voluntary participation using convenience sampling method. The analysis of the validated data obtained from 367 employees revealed that liking and respect has a positive effect on trust and obedience to authority, trust and obedience to authority has a positive effect on work discipline, work discipline and self-efficacy has a positive effect on career success. The findings also revealed that self-efficacy has a moderating effect on the relationship between work discipline and career success. This research is one of the first studies on the empirical evidence of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk’s quotes in the Turkish literature. We hope that these quotes of Atatürk will shed light on today’s organizations with its findings and will guide them in creating an organizational climate that includes mutual liking, respect, trust and emphasizing the importance of self-discipline and self-sufficiency.

Atatürk’ün Özdeyişleri ve Yönetim: Sevgi – Saygı, İtimat – İtaat, İş Disiplini ve Özyeterliliğin Algılanan Kariyer Başarısına Etkisi

Öz

Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’nin kurucusu Mustafa Kemal Atatürk’ün “Nerede karşılıklı sevgi ve saygı varsa, orada itimat ve itaat vardır. İtimat ve itaatin olduğu yerde disiplin vardır. Disiplinin olduğu yerde huzur, huzurun olduğu yerde başarı vardır.” ve “Zafer, zafer benimdir diyebilenindir. Başarı ise başaracağım diye başlayarak sonunda başardım diyenindir.” özdeyişlerinin günümüz örgütlerinde geçerliliğini irdeleyen bu çalışma, bu özdeyişlerden hareketle, örgütlerde başarının öncelleri ve bu değişkenlerin birbirleriyle ilişkilerini ölçmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Kolayda örnekleme yöntemi ile gönüllü katılımı kabul eden özel sektör sanayi kuruluşlarının İstanbul’da 400 çalışanına anket uygulanmıştır. Değerlendirmeye uygun 367 çalışandan elde edilen verilerin analizi sonucunda sevgi ve saygının itimat ve itaat, itimat ve itaatin iş disiplini, iş disiplini ve özyeterliliğin de algılanan kariyer başarısı üzerinde olumlu etkisi olduğu, aynı zamanda özyeterliliğin iş disiplini ve algılanan kariyer başarısı arasındaki ilişkide düzenleyici role sahip olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bu araştırma yerli alan yazında Mustafa Kemal Atatürk’ün özdeyişlerinin ampirik kanıtlarına dair yapılmış̧ ilk çalışmalardan biridir. Atatürk’ün bu özdeyişlerinin günümüz örgütlerine ışık tutarak, çalışma bulgularının örgütlerde karşılıklı sevgi, saygı, güven içeren bir örgüt iklimi yaratmak ve çalışanlara otoriteye itaat, öz disiplin ve özyeterliliğin önemini vurgulamak konusunda yol gösterici olacağını ümit ediyoruz.
