CHANGING of HUMILITY from a PERSONAL COMPETENCE to an ORGANIZATIONAL COMPETENCE: HUMBLE ORGANIZATIONS

Abstract

In today’s world, the companies search for a method to obtain the competence advantage to struggle with the competence effectively which mostly has the destructive quality. As to the fact of today’s competitive, it is done by means of abstract values and humility is among these values, too. The companies which is aware of this reality and want to get the strength of the competitive advantage, aim at making humility which is a personal competence, a component of organizational culture. Then changing humility from a personal competence to a organizational competence has happened and we are faced to the concept of humble organization. Nowadays, organizations are barked hard and hierarchical management structures and they transform type of humble management as a personal and organizational competence, which brings about flexible, creative and entrepreneurship and this is demonstrated one of the basic conditions of coping with global competition. Humble organizations requires tolerance to workers’ mistakes. When humbleness is made a piece of corporate culture as a competence, mistakes won’t repeat themselves one more time and that means raising threshold of tolerance toward mistakes and improving of humble behaviors and humbleness skill Because improving of skills is a process of personal knowledge and experience, it is not possible to learn from a book. A process of personal knowledge and experiences are possible with communication and cooperation only. People use this knowledge in work’s process and in business relationships. So they reflect them work places and processes. Workers are encouraged to learn with a way of cooperation. This means that competences must be entegrated to workers with a formal and informal educational process. Informal educational process explain of workers improving knowledge and skills with a role model. At this point, leaders’ competence and way of transfering this competence to workers is important. Humbleness, which is one of the most important competence of a leader, effects all communication process with workers and so it is possible that humbleness is not only a personal competence, but also an organizational competence too. But since the strategic importance of humility for the companies hasn’t still been understood completely and humility hasn’t been adopted as an organizational competence by many companies, for now the existence of humble organizations seems to be very little. However, humility is a new concept which is taken to focal point of workers and it confronts as a reflection of modern management styles. Thus, it brings with effective human resources and the increase of profitability, corporate performans and efficiency. The main reason of this literature based study is to demonstrate the necessary steps which must be taken, to be a humble organization by examining the humble organizations which have changed the humility which is considered among the personal competences, to the organizational competence through positivist theory with empirical data. Examples of 3M, Apple, Metro Cash & Carry, Microsoft, Bakü Oil Factory and Aselsan those which are explained the principle of humility in the firm policies are annotated based on empirical data in accordance with the concept of humble organization. Also, through examination of humble organizations which are transformed humility as a personal competence to an organizational competence, it is considered some important gains such as competitive profitability, workers motivation and efficiency and is showed steps needed for being a humble organization.
