COMPARISON OF THE PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES OF AKHISM SYSTEM WITH PSYCHOLOGICAL CAPITAL: THE CASE OF TURKEY

Abstract

Today, organizations implement strategies for human development and integrate them with business life. The positive development of human beings, which is an integral part of organizations, contributes to businesses and indirectly to society. In this respect, positive psychology is one of the important building blocks applied to the development of human resources and businesses. Akhism System is traditionally known for many years in Turkey, business-oriented, positive psychology, and philosophy of life. Akhism, which has deep roots from the past, integrates business life and personal life with its typical philosophy. Akhism system is a structure that aims to develop and mature the individual by referring to the belief system and thus social change with both his life and his business life. The concept of psychological capital, arising from the positive psychology school, is a positive and human-oriented approach in organizations. In this study, the content, principles, and practices of the Akhism system were compared with the main elements of psychological capital that self-efficacy, optimism, hope, and resilience. In addition, in-depth interviews were carried out in Turkey's Sivas province with eight small business managers who declared that they knew and implemented the Akhism system. The findings were analyzed by the interpretive phenomenological analysis method and it was concluded that the Akhism System is similar to the psychological capital elements in terms of content, teaching, and practices and is still practiced traditionally today. The principles and practices of the Akhism System, which have continued from the past to the present, constitute a great resource in terms of psychological capital. It is thought that the principles and practical experience of Akhism System will contribute to organizations in terms of psychological capital.
