Personeli Güçlendirme Algılaması, Örgüt İklimi Algılaması ve Yaratıcı Kişilik Özelliklerinin Örgüt Düzeyinde Yaratıcı Çıktılar Üzerindeki Doğrudan ve Dolaylı Etkileri

Abstract

Rekabetçi bir dünyada müşteri beklentilerini en iyi şekilde karşılayabilmek, sürekli olarak yeni yöntemler, yeni ürün ve hizmetler geliştirmeyi gerektirir. Bunun başarılmasında yaratıcılığın büyük önemi vardır. Bu araştırmanın temel amacı bu derecede önem taşıyan yaratıcılığın örgütlerde nasıl artırılabileceğine yönelik bazı tespitler yapabilmektir. Araştırma büyük ölçekli bir imalat örgütünde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmada, personelin yaratıcı kişilik özelliklerinin, algılanan yaratıcı iklim ve personeli güçlendirme algılamasının örgüt düzeyinde yaratıcı çıktılarla ilişkileri değerlendirilmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre, yaratıcı kişilik özellikleri, personeli güçlendirme algılaması ve algılanan yaratıcı iklim ile örgüt düzeyinde yaratıcı çıktılar arasında anlamlı ve pozitif yönlü ilişki vardır. Ayrıca yaratıcı örgüt iklimi algılamasının, yaratıcı kişilik özellikleri ile örgüt düzeyinde yaratıcı çıktılar arasında anlamlı bir aracılık rolü bulunduğu, personeli güçlendirme algılamasının ise anlamlı bir aracılık rolünün bulunmadığı belirlenmiştir
