Abstract

ÖZET
Amaç: Aile işletmeleri ülke ekonomilerinin büyük bölümünü oluşturmaktadır. Lakin ömürleri kurucunun yönetimde olduğu süre ile sınırlı kalmaktadır. Birçok araştırma aile işletmelerinin nesiller arası sürdürülebilir olmasının doğru yürütülen bir devir planlaması süreci ile ilgili olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu doğrultuda çalışmada devir planlaması sürecinin resmiyet kazanmasının mevcut liderin (selef) örgütsel bağlılık boyutlarıyla ilişkisi olup olmadığı konusu ele alınmıştır.
Yöntem: Meyer ve Allen (1991) tarafından oluşturulan 3 boyutlu örgütsel bağlılık (TCM) modeli kullanılarak liderlerin aile işletmelerine olan bağlılıklarının boyutlarının devir planlamasının resmiyet seviyesine yansıması incelenmektedir. Kolayda örnekleme yöntemi kullanılarak seçilen 161 aile işletmesi liderine çevrimiçi anket gönderimi yapılmıştır. Elde edilen veriler doğrultusunda bağımsız değişkenler olarak ele alınan liderin duygusal, devamlılık ve normatif bağlılığının, bağımlı değişken olarak ele alınan devir planlamasının resmiyet seviyesi üzerindeki etkilerini ortaya koymak adına korelasyon ve regresyon analizleri gerçekleştirilmiştir.
Bulgular: İstanbul Sanayi Odasına kayıtlı aile işletmeleri ile yapılan anket çalışması sonucunda, söz konusu işletmelerin büyük çoğunluğun resmi bir devir planlamasına sahip olmadığı gözlemlenmiştir. Üstelik liderin duygusal ve normatif bağlılığının devir planlamasının resmiyet kazanmasına olumlu etkisi olduğu tespit edilirken, devamlılık bağlılığının olumsuz etkisi olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
Özgünlük: Örgütsel bağlılık kavramını aile işletmeleri evreninde inceleyen çalışmaların büyük çoğunluğu halefin örgütsel bağlılığı ile devir planlaması arasındaki ilişkiyi ele almaktadır. Oysaki bu çalışma, devir sürecinde önemli rol oynayan bir diğer aktör olan selefin örgütsel bağlılığının boyutlarını ele alması nedeniyle literatürdeki nadir çalışmalardan biridir.

Abstract

ABSTRACT
Purpose: Family businesses are the biggest part of the macro economies. On the other hand, family businesses have a short lifespan limited with the founder leader’s management timeline. Many researchers agree that appropriate succession planning is related with transgenerational sustainability. This research is looking into the relation between leader’s commitment in formalization of succession planning process.
Method: Using the 3-dimensional organizational commitment (TCM) model created by Meyer and Allen (1991), the reflection of the dimensions of leaders' commitment to family businesses on the level of formality of succession planning is examined. An online questionnaire was sent to 161 family business leaders selected using the convenience sampling method. In line with the data obtained, correlation and regression analyses were carried out in order to reveal the effects of the leader's emotional, continuance and normative commitment, which are considered as independent variables, on the level of formality of the succession planning, which is considered as dependent variables.
Findings: The findings of the survey conducted with family business leaders registered to Istanbul Chambers of Industry shows that majority of family businesses do not have a formal succession plan. Nevertheless, family business leaders’ affective and normative commitment has positive effect on succession planning while continuance commitment has negative effect on succession planning process.
Originality: Most of the organizational commitment researches conducted among the family business universe focus on the commitment of the successors. Unlike other studies, this study is one of the limited number of studies focusing on another important actor, the leader’s commitment, in succession process.
