A Research Between Organizational Culture and Organizational Power in the Context of Denison Organizational Culture Model

Abstract

Organizations in today's world put in tremendous effort to survive in the ever changing competitive environment. Organizational culture plays a significant role in adapting to such changes. Organizational culture both has an impact on multiple organizational variables and affects perceptions of organizational power which are one of the main variables to provide direction for employee behaviour. The objective of this study is to demonstrate the extent that organizational culture affects the use of organizational power and managerial power perceptions. When the findings obtained are examined, it has been identified that there is a positive and directly proportional relationship between all the organizational culture and organizational power variables, and sub-dimensions of these variables. Also, it has been revealed that organizational culture predicts organizational power and organizational power sources. When considered within this context, it has been concluded that position related powers, consisting of legitimate power primarily, coercive power and reward power, are preferred more intensely than individual related powers, based on expert power, referent power and knowledge based power in all analyses.

Denison Örgüt Kültürü Modeli Bağlamında Örgüt Kültürü ve Örgütsel Güç Ilişkisi Üzerine Bir Araştırma

Abstract

Günümüz dünyasında örgütler hızla değişen rekabet koşulları altında hayatta kalabilmek için üstün çaba göstermektedirler. Bu değişimlere uyum sağlayabilmek için örgüt kültürü önemli bir rol üstlenmektedir. Örgüt kültürü birçok örgütsel değişken üzerinde etkili olduğu gibi örgüt içinde çalışanların davranışlarına yön veren temel değişkenlerinden biri olan örgütsel güç algılamalarını etkileyebilmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, örgüt kültürünün örgütsel güç kullanımı ve yönetsel güç algılarını hangi boyutlarda etkilediğini ortaya koymaktır. Elde edilen bulgular incelendiğinde örgüt kültürü ve örgütsel güç değişkenlerinin tamamı ile bu değişkenlerin alt boyutları arasında pozitif ve doğru orantılı bir ilişki olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca örgüt kültürünün örgütsel güç ve örgütsel güç kaynaklarını yordadığı ortaya konmuştur. Bu bağlamda değerlendirildiğinde bütün analizlerde öncelikli olarak yasal güç olmak üzere, zorlayıcı güç ve ödüllendirme gücünden oluşan olan pozisyon kaynaklı güçlerin, uzmanlık gücü, karizmatik güç ve bilgiye dayalı güç olan bireysel kaynaklı güçlere göre daha yoğun tercih edildiği ve kullanıldığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
