Bu çalışmada örgütsel ağ düzeneklerine dair oluşan geniş yazına dayanarak, Türkiye’deki girişimci aktörlerin hangi formel ve informel ağlara sahip oldukları ve bu ağlar içinde bulunma nedenlerinin tespiti amaçlanmıştır. İş insanları arasındaki ilişkisel süreçler incelenmiş, gözlem ve anket gibi niceliksel araştırma yöntemleri benimsenmiştir. Araştırmanın evrenini, İSO Türkiye’nin ilk 500 sanayi kuruluşu 2019 yılı listesinde yer alan büyük sanayi kuruluşlarından kasti örnekleme yöntemi ile seçilen 156 büyük sanayi kuruluşu ve bu sanayi kuruluşlarının 257 iş insanı oluşturmaktadır. İş insanlarının sosyal ağ verilerinin analizi için Ucinet 6 ve bu iş insanlarının ağlara katılım nedenlerine ilişkin verilerin analizinde ise SPSS 13 yazılım programları kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın amacı doğrultusunda yapılan analizler sonucunda Türk girişimcilerin sahip oldukları ağ ilişkileri ve ağlara katılım nedenlerinin ülke bağlamına özgü özellikler taşıyabildiği tespit edilmiştir. Türkiye bağlamında işletme organizasyonlarını temsil eden iş insanlarının katıldıkları sosyal ağların niteliğinin ve bu ağlara dahil olma amaçlarının sosyal ağ kuramının geliştirildiği ve ağırlıkla araştırıldığı Anglo Sakson kültürüne dahil ülkelerden farklı sonuçlar ürettiği tespit edilmiştir. İş insanlarının sosyal ağlara katılma gerekçelerinde gözlemlenen ve beklenen değişkenlikler, sosyal yerleşiklik kuramı çerçevesinde paralellik arz ettiği tespit edilmiştir.

A RESEARCH ON THE INTER ORGANIZATIONAL SOCIAL NETWORKS OF BUSINESS PEOPLE IN TURKEY AND THE REASONS FOR PARTICIPATION IN NETWORKS

Öz

In this study, based on the extensive literature on organizational network mechanisms, it is aimed to determine which formal and informal networks the entrepreneurial actors in Turkey have and the reasons for being in these networks. Relational processes among business people were examined, and quantitative research methods such as observation and survey were adopted. The universe of the research consists of 156 large industrial enterprises and 257 business people of these industrial enterprises, selected by deliberate sampling method from the large industrial enterprises included in the list of ISO Turkey's top 500 industrial enterprises in 2019. Ucinet 6 software programs were used for the analysis of the social network data of business people and SPSS 13 software programs were used for the analysis of the data on the reasons for the participation of these business people in the networks. As a result of the analyzes made in line with the purpose of the research, it has been determined that the network relations of Turkish entrepreneurs and the reasons for their participation in networks may have characteristics specific to the country context. It has been determined that the nature of the social networks that business people representing business organizations participate in and the purposes of being included in these networks in the context of Turkey produce different results from countries included in the Anglo Saxon culture, where social network theory has been developed and heavily researched. It has been determined that the observed and expected variability in the reasons for joining social networks of business people are parallel to the framework of social embeddedness theory.
