Metot, Araç ve Teknoloji Algısının İş Başarısı Üzerindeki Etkisi: Çevre ve Güvenlik Faktörlerinin Aracılık Rolü Üzerine Bir PLS-SEM Analizi

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, teknolojik ve yöntemsel uygulamaların bir işletmenin başarısı üzerindeki etkisini incelemek, çevresel ve güvenlik faktörlerinin bu ilişkide oynadığı aracılık rolünü analiz etmektir. Alan yazının büyük çoğunluğu Kanban, Toplam Verimli Bakım (TVB), Kaizen ve yalın üretimin etkinliğini doğrudan modeller aracılığıyla değerlendirirken, çevresel ve örgütsel bağlam değişkenleri yalnızca sınırlı miktarda incelenmiştir. Bu çalışma, nicel yöntemler kullanarak bu değişkenler arasındaki ilişkiyi sistematik bir çerçeve içinde incelemektedir. Veriler, Kısmi En Küçük Kareler Yapısal Eşitlik Modellemesi (PLS-SEM) kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Yapısal model, SRMR değeri ve doğrudan ve dolaylı etkiler için ön yükleme kullanılarak ölçüm modelinin geçerliliği ve güvenilirliği doğrulandıktan sonra test edilmiştir. Bulgular, Metotlar, Araçlar ve Teknoloji (MAT) algısının İş Başarısı (İB) üzerindeki doğrudan etkisinin anlamlı olmadığını; ancak bu etkinin Çevre ve Güvenlik Faktörleri (ÇGF) algısı aracılığıyla güçlü ve anlamlı bir şekilde aracılık ettiğini göstermektedir. ÇGF'nin İB üzerindeki etkisinin yüksek olduğu bulunmuş olup, bu bulgu tam aracılık yapısını desteklemektedir. Sonuç olarak, teknolojik ve yöntemsel yatırımların iş başarısına dönüşebilmesi için güvenli, sağlıklı ve sürdürülebilir çalışma koşullarıyla bütünleştirilmesi gerektiği ortaya konmuştur. Çalışma, yalın dönüşüm ve dijitalleşme alan yazısına bağlamsal bir katkı sağlamakta ve yöneticilere çevre ve güvenliğin stratejik olarak değerlendirilmesi konusunda önemli çıkarımlar sunmaktadır.

The Effect of Methods, Tools, and Technology Perception on Business Success: A PLS-SEM Analysis of the Mediating Role of Environmental and Safety Factors

Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the impact of technological and methodological practices on the success of a business and to analyze the mediating role of environmental and safety factors in this relationship. While the vast majority of the literature evaluates the effectiveness of Kanban, Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), Kaizen, and lean manufacturing directly through models, environmental and organizational context variables have been examined only to a limited extent. This study investigates the relationship between these variables within a systematic framework using quantitative methods. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The structural model was tested after verifying the validity and reliability of the measurement model using SRMR values and bootstrapping for direct and indirect effects. The findings show that the perceived Methods, Tools, and Technology (MTT) does not have a significant direct impact on Business Success (BS). However, this effect is strongly and significantly mediated through the perception of Environmental and Safety Factors (ESF). The effect of ESF on BS was found to be high, supporting the full mediation structure. In conclusion, the study demonstrates that technological and methodological investments must be integrated with safe, healthy, and sustainable working conditions to translate into business success. The study provides a contextual contribution to the literature on lean transformation and digitalization and offers important insights for managers regarding the strategic evaluation of environmental and safety considerations.
