Çok Kültürlü Örgütlerde Kültürel Farklılıkların Yöneti̇minin Çalışanların Performansı ile İlişki̇si̇ Üzeri̇ne Bir Çalışma: Teksti̇l Sektörü ÖrneğIi

Abstract

Kültür bir insanın hayatına dair olgu ve oluşumları şekillendiren en önemli unsurlardan birisi olarak ifade edilmektedir. Farklı kültürlerden gelen kişilerin bir arada çalışması iş dünyası için kaçınılmazdır. Bu çok kültürlü düzende farklı kültürlerden gelen çalışanların uyumu çalışanların verimliliğini de etkilemektedir. Bu düşünceden yola çıkılarak yapılan bu araştırmada çalışanların kültürel farklılıklarına karşı işletme içerisinde karşılaştıkları tutumlar ile performansları arasındaki ilişki ortaya konulmaktadır. Araştırmanın amacına uygun olarak İstanbul’da tekstil sektöründeki üretim atölyelerinde istihdam edilmiş mavi yakalı çalışanlar üzerinde çalışanların bölgesel kültürlerinin de sorulduğu bir araştırma yapılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda elde edilen bulgular, çalışanların kültürel farklılıklarına karşı işletme içerisindeki tutumları ile çalışanların performansları arasında pozitif anlamlı bir ilişki içerisinde olduğunu göstermiştir. Bununla beraber farklı kültürlerden gelen çalışanların aralarındaki farklılıklar da fark analizleriyle incelenmiş ve fark testleriyle analiz edilmiştir.

Study on the Association of the Management of Differences In Multi-Cultural Organizations and Employee Performance: An Example from the Textile Sector

Abstract

Culture is described as one of the most important elements that de nes the facts and formation of a human life. Working together with people from different cultures is inevitable in the business world. Adjusting to this multi-culture also has an affect on the productivity of employees coming from different cultures. Starting from this thought, the intention of this study is to manifest the association between the attitudes encountered by the employees in an enterprise in view of their cultural differences and their performance. In line with the objective of this study, a survey has been carried out with the blue-color workers employed in manufacturing workshops in the textile sector in Istanbul which also included questions regarding the regional cultures of the employees. The ndings of the study showed that there was a positive signi cant association between the employees’ attitudes towards cultural differences and the employees’ performance. Furthermore, the differences between employees from different cultures were also examined by means of difference analyzes and analyzed by means of difference tests.
