Örgüt Kuramları ve Değişim

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, örgüt kuramlarının literatüre
dayalı olarak incelenmesi, bu kapsamda örgüt kuramlarının çevre ve değişime
bakış açısının ele alınması, literatür doğrultusunda örgütün çevre
dinamiklerine karşı değişim ihtiyacının ele alınarak günümüz yöneticilerine yol
göstermesidir. Bu bağlamda, öncelikle örgütlerde değişim konusu kısaca ele
alınmıştır. Daha sonra örgüt kuramlarından Yapısal Koşul Bağımlılık Kuramı,
Kaynak Bağımlılığı Kuramı, Yeni Kurumsal Kuram, İşlem Maliyeti Kuramı, Vekâlet
Kuramı, Örgütsel Ekoloji Kuramı, Örgütsel Ağlar Kuramı ve Makrokurumsal Bakış
Açısı temel kavramları ile kısaca açıklanmış ve bu kuramların çevresel değişime
bakış açıları incelenmiştir. Bu kuramların incelenmesi ile örgütlerin çevresel
değişimlere adaptasyon sürecinde karşılaşabilecekleri direnç faktörleri
görülmüştür. Araştırma sonucu olarak, günümüzde tek bir kurama bağlı olarak
değişimin ele alınamayacağı, örgütlerin değişimin kaynaklarını, örgüt içi ve
örgüt dışı güç bağımlılıklarını, belirsizlik nedenlerini, örgütsel süreç
dinamiklerini iyi tanımalarının daha etkili örgütsel değişim sürecinin
gerçekleştirilebileceğine destek olabileceği görülecektir. Diğer yandan, değişime
yönelik yeni hibrit bir yaklaşım oluşturulabileceği de tartışılmıştır.
