ORGANISATIONAL CHANGE IN PORTS AND ANALYSIS OF EFFECTIVENESS IN VALUE CHAIN SYSTEMS: A SURVEY RESEARCH

Abstract

The objective of this study is to determine the changes at ports and to reveal the relationship between these changes and port effectiveness. A survey study with a sample of 51 ports in Turkey was carried out. Factor analysis was used for grouping organisational change implementations. MannWhitney U tests, correlation and regression analyses were used for hypothesis testing. As a consequence; perceptions regarding organisational change implementations and effectiveness measures were compared according to port characteristics and the causal relationships between organisational change and effectiveness variables were determined within the context of value chain systems

LİMANLARDA ÖRGÜTSEL DEĞİŞİM VE DEĞER ZİNCİRİ SİSTEMLERİNDE ETKİLİLİK ANALİZİ: BİR SAHA ARAŞTIRMASI

Abstract

Çalışmanın amacı, liman örgütlerinde ortaya çıkan değişimleri belirlemek ve bu değişimler ve liman etkililiği arasındaki ilişkileri ortaya çıkarmaktır. Bu amaçla, Türkiye’deki 51 liman örnekleminde bir saha araştırması gerçekleştirilmiştir. Örgütsel değişim uygulamalarını gruplandırmak için faktör analizi uygulanmıştır. Hipotez testleri için ise, Mann-Whitney U testi, korelasyon ve regresyon analizleri gerçekleştirilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, limanlardaki değişim uygulamaları ve etkililik ölçütlerine ilişkin algılar, limanların özelliklerine göre karşılaştırmalı olarak incelenmiş ve örgütsel değişim ve etkililik arasındaki sebep-sonuç ilişkileri değer zinciri sistemleri kapsamında belirlenmiştir
