Abstract

This study aims to
investigate change management implementations in security organizations through
a literature review and to develop a holistic perspective on change management
for security organizations. In order to reach this aim, the researcher discusses
reflections of change perception, efforts to understand change management
process and leadership impact on change management. One of the findings of the
research demonstrates that while military organizations mostly focused on
transformation and innovation in the change management process, police
organizations’ focal point was mainly about reform process. Change management
models are not packet programs that can be implemented to all kinds of
organizations and situations as every institution has a different character,
dynamics, sources of manpower, and aims. Therefore, each attempt at change must
be considered according to the special attributes of each organization, such as
culture, dynamics, structure, characteristics and vision. Herein,
organizational culture plays one of the most important roles in the success of
change management in security organizations. In addition, officials and
managers of security organizations should increase their awareness towards
change management. Future
studies may establish a change management model for security organizations via
primary data sources or develop practical recommendations how to provide
awareness of the followers towards change management in the security
organizations.

GÜVENLİK KURULUŞLARINDAKİ DEĞİŞİM YÖNETİMİ UYGULAMALARINA YÖNELİK YAZIN TARAMASI

Abstract

Bu çalışma, güvenlik kuruluşlarındaki değişim yönetimi
uygulamalarını yazın taraması yaparak incelemeyi ve güvenlik organizasyonları için
değişim yönetimi üzerine bütüncül bir bakış açısı geliştirmeyi amaçlamaktadır.
Bu amaca ulaşmak için araştırmacı, değişim algısının yansımalarını, değişim
yönetimi sürecini anlama çabalarını ve değişim yönetimi üzerindeki liderlik
etkisini tartışmaktadır. Araştırmanın bulgularından biri, değişim yönetimi
sürecinde askeri kuruluşlar çoğunlukla dönüşüm ve yeniliğe odaklanırken, polis
kuruluşları reform sürecine odaklanmaktadırlar. Değişim yönetimi modelleri, her
kurumun farklı karakterleri, dinamikleri, insan gücü kaynakları ve amaçları
olduğu için her türlü organizasyon ve duruma uygulanabilecek paket
programlardan değildir. Bu nedenle, değişimdeki her girişim kurumunun kültür,
dinamik, yapı, özellikler ve vizyon gibi her özel niteliklerine göre
şekillendirilmelidir. Tamda bu noktada, kurum kültürü, güvenlik
kuruluşlarındaki değişim yönetimi başarısında en önemli rollerden birini
oynamaktadır. Buna ilave olarak, güvenlik kuruluşları yetkilileri ve
yöneticileri değişim yönetimi konusundaki farkındalıklarını arttırmalıdır. Gelecekteki çalışmalar, güvenlik kuruluşları
için birincil veri kaynakları yoluyla bir değişim yönetimi modeli oluşturabilir
veya değişim yönetimine karşı güvenlik kuruluşlarında çalışanların nasıl
farkındalıklarının sağlanacağına dair pratik öneriler geliştirebilir.
