Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı Bursa İli Tarımsal Kalkınma Kooperatiflerinde kooperatif-ortak ilişkilerini değerlendirmektir. Araştırma, kooperatifin işleyişini, yönetim tarzını, ortak-yönetim ilişkilerini ve ortak memnuniyetini eş zamanlı ve kapsamlı bir şekilde araştırmaktadır. Birincil veriler anket yöntemi ile toplanmıştır. Basit rastgele örnekleme yöntemi ile belirlenen 408 kişi ile yüz yüze anket yapılmıştır. Veriler SPSS 24 programı ile analiz edilmiş ve çapraz tablolar oluşturulmuştur. Ortaklar, çalışan personelin halkla ilişkilerinin iyi olmasının kooperatife fayda sağlayacağına (X=3.85) ve eğitimli ve profesyonel yöneticilere sahip olmasının avantajlı olduğuna inanmaktadır (X=3.72). İncelenen kooperatiflerde ortakların yöneticilerin kendi görüş ve önerileri dikkate aldığına inanmaktadır (X=3.45). Yöneticilerin ekip çalışmasına değer verdiğini (X=3.42) ve karar alma sürecine kendilerinin de katılmalarına izin verdiklerini düşünmektedirler (X=3.40). Ortakların yöneticilerin kooperatifi başarılı bir şekilde temsil ettiklerine (X=3.53) dair kabul edilebilir bir fikir birliği vardır ve yöneticilere oldukça güvenmektedirler (X=3.52). Ortak olmaktan onur duyan (X̄=4.01) ve ortak olmaktan mutlu olan ortaklar (X̄=3.96) memnuniyet kategorisinde en yüksek puanı aldı. En önemlisi ortaklar, kooperatiflerini bir aile ve kendilerini de bu ailenin üyesi olarak görmektedirler (X = 3.93).
