Abstract

Takımlardan istenen faydayı sağlamak için takım etkinliğinin artırılması gerekir. Takım etkinliğini artırmak için, takım üyelerinin rol ve sorumluluklarının belirlenmesi, yeteneklerini geliştirmek için gerekli eğitimin takım üyelerine verilmesi, takım içinde kaynakların optimum kullanımının sağlanması, üyeler tarafından kabul edilebilir açık performans hedeflerinin ortaya konması, takım kültürü ve etkili liderlik oluşturulması gerekir. Bu çalışmada, savunma sanayindeki takımlarda, lidere güvenin yüksek ya da düşük olduğu veya bu ayrımın yapılmadığı durumlarda ; takım sinerjisi, kaynak kullanımı, yetenekler, iletişim, performans amaçları şeklinde ifade edilen takım etkinliği faktörleri ile yenilik odaklılık ve kalite odaklılık arasındaki ilişki ele alınmıştır. Araştırma, Türkiye’de savunma sanayi için üretim yapan 15 takım ve 111 takım üyesi üzerinde yürütülmüştür. Araştırmada anket yöntemi kullanılmış olup sonuçlar SPSS istatistik programı yardımıyla değerlendirilmiştir.
