Surviving in Global Shocks: A Study from the Perspective of Dynamic Capabilities and Organizational Resilience

Abstract

Covid-19 gibi büyük şok dönemlerinde firmalar için en önemli durum hayatta kalmak olabilir. Firmaların bu tür dönemlerde hayatta kalmasını sağlayan biz dizi faktör bulunmaktadır. Bu faktörlerden önce çıkanlardan birisi dayanıklılıktır. Bu araştırmada firmaların Covid-19 sonrasında dayanıklılıklarını dinamik yetenekler açısından incelenmektedir. Araştırmanın amacı; firmaların dinamik yeteneklerinin covid-19 sonrasında iyileşmeye etkisinde sağlamlığın rolünün incelenmesidir. Araştırma İstanbul ilindeki seçili sektörlerdeki 433 beyaz yakalı çalışanların katılımı ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırma bulgularına göre firmaların dinamik yetenekleri onların sağlamlıklarını ve iyileşme seviyelerini arttırmaktadır. Ayrıca sağlamlık firmanın iyileşmesini de arttırmaktadır. Son olarak dinamik yeteneklerin iyileşmeyi sağlamlık üzerinden etkilediği tespit edilmiştir. Araştırma, dinamik yetenekleri dayanıklılık literatürüne bağlamak, sağlamlık ile iyileşme arasında ilişki kurmak ve şok dönemlerinde faaliyetleri devam ettirme açısından bilgiler sunmaktadır. Araştırma sonunda pratik ve teorik açıdan öneriler sunulmuştur.

Küresel Şoklarda Hayatta Kalmak: Dinamik Yetenekler ve Örgütsel Dayanıklılık Perspektifinden Bir Araştırma

Bu faktörlerden önce çıkanlardan birisi dayanıklılıktır. Bu araştırmada firmaların Covid-19 sonrasında dayanıklılıklarını dinamik yetenekler açısından incelenmektedir. Araştırmanın amacı; firmaların dinamik yeteneklerinin covid-19 sonrasında iyileşmeye etkisinde sağlamlığın rolünün incelenmesidir.

Araştırma bulgularına göre firmaların dinamik yetenekleri onların sağlamlıklarını ve iyileşme seviyelerini arttırmaktadır. Ayrıca sağlamlık firmanın iyileşmesini de arttırmaktadır. Son olarak dinamik yeteneklerin iyileşmeyi sağlamlık üzerinden etkilediği tespit edilmiştir. Araştırma, dinamik yetenekleri dayanıklılık literatürüne bağlamak, sağlamlık ile iyileşme arasında ilişki kurmak ve şok dönemlerinde faaliyetleri devam ettirme açısından bilgiler sunmaktadır.
