Farklı Paydaş Algılarının Eşzamanlı Ölçümü: Kolektif İtibar “Akademik Örgütlerin İç ve Dış Paydaşlarının Algıları Üzerine Bir Araştırma”

Abstract

Günümüzde örgütler için sürdürülebilirliğin anlamının değişmesi ve kurumsal yönetişim anlayışının benimsenmesiyle birlikte paydaşlar için meşruiyetin kanıtı olarak ve özellikle örgütle aktif bir ilişkiye girme kararı aşamasında stratejik bir kaynak olarak değerlendirilen kurumsal itibar kavramı örgütler için daha kritik bir önem taşımaya başlamıştır. Dolayısıyla, paylaşılan tüm bireysel paydaş izlenimlerinin kolektif sonucu olarak değerlendirilen kurumsal itibar kavramını açıklamak ve analiz etmek önemlidir. Bu araştırmada da akademik bir örgütün hem iç hem dış paydaşlarının eş zamanlı algılarına bağlı olarak kurumsal itibarı analiz etmek amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmanın sonucunda; kolektif kurumsal itibar algısının oluştuğu ve bu kolektif algıyı yaratan en önemli itibar bileşeni konusunda akademik örgütün iç ve dış paydaşlarının aynı görüşte olduğu tespit edilmiştir
