Abstract

In
this study, I compared publications within the scope of organizational studies
according to the gender roles of the researchers. In order to make comparisons,
I adopted the systematic review procedure developed by Tranfield et al. (2003).
In the organization studies, women-oriented ones could be grouped under the
headings of management, women’s problems and gender roles. I found that the
studies evaluating the “problems” faced by women employees within the
organization were mainly carried out by female researchers. In other groups,
the number of female researchers was high, but the number of male researchers
was relatively high. However, in general, in research studies, I found that
researchers remain distant to the topic and research.

Örgüt Çalışmalarında Kadın: Araştırmacı Yaklaşımlarının Toplumsal Cinsiyet Temelinde Karşılaştırılması

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, Türkiye’de
Türkçe yayınlanmış örgüt çalışmalarında kadın odaklı çalışmaları,
araştırmacıların toplumsal cinsiyet rollerine göre karşılaştırılmıştır. Çalışma
kapsamında karşılaştırma yapabilmek için çalışmaları seçerken Tranfield vd.
(2003) tarafından geliştirilen sistematik tarama prosedürü benimsenmiştir. Tarama
sonucunda seksen dokuz yayını araştırmaya dahil edilmiştir. Örgüt
çalışmalarında kadın odaklı olanlar, yönetim, kadın sorunları ve toplumsal
cinsiyet başlıkları altında gruplanmıştır. Kadın çalışanların örgüt içerisinde
karşılaştıkları sorunları değerlendiren çalışmaların ağırlıklı olarak kadın
araştırmacılar tarafından yürütüldüğü tespit edilmiştir. Diğer gruplarda da
kadın araştırmacıların sayısı yüksek olmakla birlikte, erkek araştırmacıların
sayısı da görece fazladır. Ancak, genel olarak, araştırma kapsamındaki
çalışmalarda, araştırmacıların konuya ve araştırmaya mesafeli kaldıkları
değerlendirilmiştir.
