Abstract

Bu çalışma Türkiye’nin TRB1 Bölgesinde (Malatya, Elazığ, Bingöl ve
Tunceli) faaliyet gösteren Sivil Toplum Kuruluşları'nın (STK'lar) finansal
kapasitelerini etkileyen faktörlerin neler olduğunu araştırmaktadır. Çünkü, az
gelişmiş bölgelerde STK faaliyetlerine duyulan ihtiyaç daha fazla olsa da bu
bölgelerdeki STK varlığı gelişmiş bölgelere göre daha sınırlıdır. Diğer
taraftan, finansal kapasitesi yüksek olan STK’lar, kamu kurumları ile özel
sektör kuruluşlarının başarısız oldukları alanlarda ve bölgelerde daha
kaliteli, etkili ve sürdürülebilir kamusal ürün ve hizmetler üretebilmektedir. Bu
kapsamda, literatürde yer alan teorik ve ampirik çalışmalar incelenerek hangi
faktörlerin STK’ların finansal kapasitesini etkilediğine dair varsayımlar not
edilmiştir.  Bu varsayımları Türkiye’nin
TRB1 Malatya Bölgesindeki STK örneklemi ile test etmek için, birincil ve
ikincil veriler kullanılmıştır. Birincil veriler, TRB1 Bölgesinde gençlik,
eğitim ve spor alanlarında faaliyet gösteren 66 Gençlik STK'sının kurumsal
liderlerine (yönetici, başkan, gençlik sorumlusu vb.) uygulanan yarı
yapılandırılmış detaylı bir anket araştırmasından elde edilmiştir. Buna ek
olarak, ikincil veriler T.C. İçişleri Bakanlığı'na bağlı olan Sivil Toplumla
İlişkiler Genel Müdürlüğü'nün veri tabanından elde edilmiştir. Elde edilen
veriler, betimleyici istatiksel analiz yöntemiyle incelenerek bağımlı ve
bağımsız değişkenler arasındaki ilişkiler analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma
sonuçlarına göre, dış paydaşlarla işbirliği, dini ve ideolojik motivasyon,
yönetsel yeterlik ve gelir kaynakları gibi faktörlerin STK'ların finansal
kapasiteleri üzerinde önemli etkileri olduğu ortaya koyulmuştur.

An Empirical Study for the Financial Situation of Youth CSOs in TRB1 Region of Turkey

Abstract

This study evaluates factors which influence financial capacity of Civil
Society Organizations (CSOs) operating in TRB1 Region (Malatya, Elazığ, Bingöl
and Tunceli) of Turkey. Because, although the need for CSO activity is higher
in less developed regions, the presence of CSOs is more limited in these
regions compared to more developed regions. On the other hand, CSOs with higher
financial capacity can provide more qualified, effective and sustainable public
goods and services in the areas and regions where public institutions and
private sector organizations fail. In this sense, existing assumptions about
the factors influencing financial capacity of CSOs are noted after reviewing theoretical
and empirical studies in the literature. In order to test these assumptions by
the sample of CSOs in TRB1 Region of Turkey, primary and secondary sources of
data were used. Primary data was collected from a semi-structured and detailed
survey research that was applied to organizational leaders (e.g., manager, director
and youth representative) of 66 Youth CSOs that operate in the areas of youth,
education and sport in TRB1 Region. In addition, secondary data was collected
from the database of Directorate General of Relations with Civil Society under
T.R. Ministry of Interior. Collected data was evaluated by descriptive
statistical method to analyze relationships between dependent and independent
variables. The research findings show that factors such as cooperation with
external stakeholders, managerial competence and revenue sources have
significant influence on the financial capacity of CSOs.
