Abstract

Çalışan hırsızlığının, yol açtığı maddi ve manevi kayıplar göz önüne alındığında, işletme ve yönetim literatüründe daha fazla yer alması gerektiği düşüncesi son zamanlarda yaygınlık kazanmaya başlamış durumdadır. Çalışanın resmi çalışma zamanı içerisinde işletmenin malını veya parasını izinsiz alması veya transfer etmesi olarak tanımlanabilen çalışan hırsızlığının türleri ve nedenleri çeşitlidir. Bu çalışmada öncelikle amaçlanan; literatürde yer alan günümüze kadar yapılmış çalışan hırsızlığı konulu araştırmaların ortaya koyduğu çeşitli bulgulara, örnek ve istatistiklere geniş bir biçimde yer vererek, Türkiye’de ve Dünyada çalışan hırsızlığı sorununa ilişkin mevcut durumu ortaya koymak, bu suretle bu temel üzerinde çalışan hırsızlığını türlerine ayırarak diğer araştırmacıların ilgisine sunmaktır. Çalışmanın diğer amaçları; ağırlıklı olarak işletme kaynaklı nedenler olmak üzere çalışan hırsızlığının nedenlerini ve maliyetlerini günümüze kadar ulaşılmış istatistiki bulgularla incelemek ve hali hazırda çeşitli işletmelerde uygulanmakta olan önlemeye yönelik çalışmalar hakkında bilgi vererek bu çalışmaların hangi yönde geliştirilebileceği üzerine önerilerde bulunmaktır.
