BENCİL GEN KURAMI VE İŞLETMELERDE ÇALIŞAN DEVAMLILIĞI: BİR UYARLAMA ÇALIŞMASI

Öz

Pozitif bilimler ışığında yapılan deneyler veya ortaya atılan kuramlar, son dönemlerde sadece kendi dallarında değil, kendileri haricindeki diğer bilim dalları içinde de kullanılır olmuştur. Bu çalışma da bu söyleme paralel olarak, günümüzde de tartışma konusu olmaya devam eden ve öncelikle Darwin tarafından ortaya atılarak Dawkins tarafından bilimsel gerçekler ışığında açıklanmaya çalışılan güçlü olanın hayatta kalması şeklinde ifade edilebilecek evrim kuramının işletmelerde çalışan devamlılığına uyarlamasıdır. İnsan da bir organizma olarak düşünüldüğünde çalışma hayatının da devamlılığını sağlamak için bir takım güçlü yönleri ile hareket ettiği ve işyerindeki devamlılığını bu özellikleri ile sağladığı sonucuna varılmıştır.

SELFISH GENE THEORY AND EMPLOYEE ENDURANCE IN ORGANIZATIONS: AN ADAPTATION STUDY

Abstract

Experiments carried out or theories put forward in the light of positive sciences have recently been used in other branches of science. In parallel with this discourse, this study is the adaptation of the theory of evolution, which can be expressed as the survival of the fittest, first put forward by Darwin and tried to be explained by Dawkins in the light of scientific facts, to the continuity of employees in businesses. When human beings are considered as an organism, it has been concluded that they act with a number of strengths to ensure the continuity of their working life and ensure their continuity in the workplace with these features.

Keywords

• Selfish Gene
