A STUDY AIMED AT UNDERSTANDING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PRESTIGE, BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND IDENTIFICATION

Abstract

In this study, the effectiveness of the board of directors, the perception of organizational prestige and the relationship of identification are examined. In the study, convenience sampling method was applied and the data of the study was obtained from members of an organization acting on the principle of volunteerism. Confirmatory factor analysis was applied to 3238 data obtained in the study through the AMOS 16.0 package program, and after the fit values were obtained, the basic hypotheses of the study were tested by structural equation modeling (SEM). The results showed that the established model was acceptable. Hypothesis findings tested by structural equality modeling showed that the relationship between perceived prestige, board effectiveness, and organizational identification variables was statistically significant.

PRESTİJ, YÖNETİM KURULU VE ÖZDEŞLEŞME İLİŞKİSİNİ ANLAMAYA YÖNELİK BİR ÇALIŞMA

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, yönetim kurulu etkinliği, örgütsel prestij algısı ve örgütsel özdeşleşme ilişkisi irdelenmektedir. Araştırmada kolayda örnekleme yöntemi uygulanmıştır. Araştırmanın verileri, gönüllülük ilkesiyle hareket eden bir örgütün üyelerinden elde edilmiştir. Çalışmada elde edilen 3238 veriye, AMOS 16.0 paket programı vasıtasıyla doğrulayıcı faktör analizi uygulanması yapılmış ve sonucunda uyum değerleri sağlandıktan sonra yapısal eşitlik modellemesi (YEM) ile araştırmanın temel hipotezleri test edilmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlar, kurulan modelin kabul edilebilir olduğunu göstermiştir. Yapısal eşitlik modellemesi ile test edilen hipotez bulguları, algılanan örgütsel prestij, yönetim kurulu etkinliği ve örgütsel özdeşleşme değişkenleri arasındaki ilişkinin istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olduğu sonucu ortaya çıkmıştır.
