The Impact of Strategy Typologies on Corporate Entrepreneurship Behavior and Financial Performance of Firms: An Empirical Research in Turkish Industry Firms

Abstract

This study was conducted in order to determine the relationship between organizational strategies and corporate entrepreneurial behaviors and the effects of both on organizational performance. For this purpose, a hierarchical regression analysis was executed on the data collected from 121 managers who work in some manufacturing industry firms operating in Turkey. Results of the hierarchical regression analysis showed that organizations' strategy types have effects on corporate entrepreneurship behaviors and financial performance. In addition to this, it was found that corporate entrepreneurship behaviors had significant effects on financial performance. In this context, the relations revealed in the light of theoretical background are generally supported. All these results were discussed in the light of the findings in the literature.

Strateji Tipolojilerinin Firmaların Kurumsal Girişimcilik Davranışları ile Finansal Performansı Üzerine Etkisi: Türk Sanayi Firmalarında Görgül Bir Araştırma

Abstract

Bu çalışma, örgütlerin stratejileri ve kurumsal girişimcilik davranışları arasındaki ilişkiyi ve her ikisinin örgüt performansı üzerindeki etkilerinin ortaya çıkarılması amacıyla yürütülmüştür. Bu maksatla Türkiye’de faaliyet gösteren bazı imalat sanayi firmalarından çeşitli kademelerde çalışan 121 yöneticiden anket tekniği ile toplanan veriler hiyerarşik regresyon analizine tabi tutulmuştur. Yapılan hiyerarşik regresyon analizi neticesinde elde edilen bulgular incelendiğinde, örgütlerin strateji tiplerinin örgütlerin kurumsal girişimcilik davranışları ile finansal performansı üzerinde etkileri olduğu görülmüştür. Ayrıca, kurumsal girişimcilik davranışlarının örgütlerin finansal performans değişkenini yordadığı ortaya konulmuştur. Bu kapsamda kuramsal gerekçeler ışığında ortaya konulan ilişkiler genel olarak desteklenmiştir. Araştırmada elde edilen tüm sonuçlar alan yazını bulguları ışığında tartışılmıştır.
