Türk ve Alman Yöneticilerin Kişisel Değerlerinin Karşılaştırmalı Bir Analizi

Abstract

Çalışmanın temel amacı Türk ve Alman yöneticilerin bireysel değerleri arasında farklılıklar olup olmadığının karşılaştırmalı olarak tespit edilmesidir. Araştırma kapsamında Türkiye ve Almanya’da orta ve büyük ölçekli işletmelerde çalışan yöneticilerin değerlerini belirlemek üzere Schwartz’ın (1992) geliştirdiği evrensel değer ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada örneklem grubunun sınırlı olması nedeniyle verilere öncelikle t testi uygulanarak, Türk ve Alman yöneticilerin kişisel değerleri arasındaki farklılıklar araştırılmıştır. t testi neticesinde her bir değer bazında iki ülke yöneticilerinin sahip oldukları değerler açısından anlamlı bir farklılık olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır. Yapılan analiz neticesinde mevcut çalışmadan elde edilen en önemli bulgu Türk ve Alman yöneticilerin evrensel nitelikteki değerler açısından farklılıklarının olmadığı, ancak yaşamsal değerler açısından farklılıklarının olduğu şeklindedir.
