Abstract

Araştırma, bir kuruluşun inovasyon kültürünü analiz ederek inovasyon potansiyeli ile etkinlik arasındaki ilişkinin varlığını, yönünü ve kapsamını tespit etmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu özgün araştırma, hem yerel hem de uluslararası bağlamlarda kuruluşların etkinlik ve yenilikçiliğini incelemiştir. Anket verilerini analiz etmek için basit ve çoklu doğrusal regresyon, ANOVA, tanımlayıcı istatistikler, açımlayıcı faktör analizi, bağımsız örneklem t-testi ve Pearson korelasyon analizi kullanılmıştır. Demografik farklılıklar çeşitli kategorilerde gözlemlenmiştir. Bu araştırma, inovasyon kültürünün örgütsel performans ve inovasyon üzerindeki etkisini incelemektedir. Regresyon analizi, p-değerinin de gösterdiği gibi, İEK ile İE arasında istatistiksel bir korelasyon olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Sonuçlar, performansı artırmak ve hızla gelişen iş ortamında başarılı olmak için kuruluşların yenilikçi bir kültür geliştirmeleri gerektiğini göstermektedir.
