Aile İşletmelerinde Başarının Anahtarı: Kişisel Niteliklerin, Yönetim Becerilerinin ve Fırsat Farkındalığının İncelenmesi

Year 2023, Volume: 5 Issue: 2, 148 - 172, 26.07.2023

Abstract

Bu araştırma, kişisel niteliklerin, yönetim becerilerinin ve fırsatları tanıma becerilerinin aile işletmelerinde girişim performansı üzerindeki etkisini incelemektedir. Çalışma, girişimcilik yetkinlikleri ile iş performansı arasındaki ilişkiyi araştırmak için mevcut literatüre dayanarak hipotezler oluşturan bir yaklaşım benimsenmektedir. Nitel ve nicel yöntemlerin bir kombinasyonunu kullanarak, veriler aile işletmelerinin sahipleriyle yapılan yarı yapılandırılmış telefon görüşmeleri aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. Toplanan veriler, tanımlanan yetkinlikler arasındaki ilişkileri ve tahmin edici ilişkileri incelemek için tanımlayıcı istatistikler, Pearson korelasyon katsayısı analizi ve regresyon analizi kullanılarak analiz edilmektedir. Bulgular, aile işletmelerinin sahiplerinin risk alma eğilimlerini ve iyimserliklerini sergilediğini, mücadeleci bir özellik olarak azimlerinin olduğunu, ancak karar verme ve görev devretme ile ilgili zorluklarla karşılaştıklarını ortaya koymaktadır. Araştırmada, araştırma, geliştirme ve pazar araştırmasına yönelik sınırlı bir vurgu olduğu görülmektedir. Analiz, fırsatları tanıma becerileri ile yönetim becerileri arasında güçlü bir pozitif ilişki olduğunu göstermektedir. Regresyon analizi, fırsatları tanıma becerileri, yönetim becerileri ve satış büyümesi arasında anlamlı ilişkilerin olduğunu teyit etmektedir. Bununla birlikte, yönetim becerileri satış büyümesi ile negatif bir ilişki sergilemektedir.

Unlocking Success in Family-Owned Businesses: An Examination of Personal Qualities, Management Skills and Opportunity Recognition

Year 2023, Volume: 5 Issue: 2, 148 - 172, 26.07.2023

Abstract

This research explores the influence of personal qualities, management skills, and opportunity recognition skills on venture performance in family-owned businesses. The study adopts a deductive approach, formulating hypotheses based on existing literature to investigate the relationship between entrepreneurial competencies and business performance. Using a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods, data is collected through semi-structured telephone interviews with family business owners. The collected data is analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficient analysis, and regression analysis to examine associations and predictive relationships among the identified competencies. The findings reveal that family business owners exhibit risk-taking tendencies and optimism, with perseverance as a major strength but facing challenges related to decision-making and delegation. Limited emphasis on research and development and market research is observed. The analysis indicates a strong positive association between opportunity recognition skills and managerial skills. Regression analysis confirms significant associations between opportunity recognition skills, managerial skills, and sales growth. However, managerial skills demonstrate an inverse relationship with sales growth.
