The Relationship of Organizational Climate and Perception of Support for Innovation

Year 2007, Volume: 6 Issue: 2, 103 - 116, 01.12.2007

Abstract

In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effects of the dimensions of organizational climate (supervisory support, workload pressure, impartiality, cohesion, intrinsic recognition) on employees’ perceptions of support for innovation. After a survey on 174 participants, it was found that when perceptions of supervisory support, cohesion and impartiality increase, perceptions of support for innovation also increase; but when perceptions of workload pressure increase, perceptions of support for innovation decrease. Moreover, it was found that meaningful differences existed in employees’ perceptions of organizational climate and support for innovation in terms of control variables (age, gender, tenure, education and department)

Örgüt İklimi ile Yeniliğe Destek Algısı Arasındaki İlişki

Year 2007, Volume: 6 Issue: 2, 103 - 116, 01.12.2007

Abstract

Bu araştırmada örgüt ikliminin çeşitli boyutlarının (üstün desteği, iş yükü baskısı, tarafsızlık, bağdaşıklık, içsel takdir) çalışanların yeniliğin desteklenmesine ilişkin algıları üzerindeki etkisini incelemek amaçlanmıştır. 174 katılımcı üzerinde yürütülen anket çalışması sonunda çalışanların; yöneticinin desteği, bağdaşıklık ve tarafsızlık algıları arttıkça yeniliğe destek algılarının da arttığı görülmüştür. Buna karşılık çalışanların iş yükü baskısı algıları arttıkça yeniliğe destek algılarının azaldığı gözlenmiştir. Ayrıca araştırmada kontrol değişkeni olarak ele alınan yaş, cinsiyet, kıdem, eğitim düzeyi ve çalışılan bölüm açısından, çalışanların örgüt iklimine ve yeniliğin desteklenmesine ilişkin algıları arasında anlamlı farklılıklar olduğu belirlenmiştir
