Türkiye Tarım Kredi Kooperatifleri için Kurumsal Performans Karnesi Önerisi

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, ülkemiz tarım sektörü açısından önemli konumda bulunan kooperatiflerin kurumsal performanslarında artış sağlayacak, yöneticiler için karar verme süreçlerine katkıda bulunacak ve kooperatiflerin kendi yapılarına uyarlayarak kullanabilecekleri çok boyutlu ölçme ve değerlendirme sistemini baz alan kurumsal performans karnesi oluşturulması amaçlanmıştır.  Çalışma kapsamında verilerin elde edilmesinde kullanılan anket formu yöneticilerden oluşan 5 kişilik bir çalışma grubu ile yapılan 9 haftalık çalışmalar sonucu oluşturulmuştur. Sonrasında anket formu Tarım Kredi Kooperatifleri Merkez Birliği ve 17 Bölge Birliğinde çalışan 140 yöneticiye gönderilmiştir. Yöneticiler tarafından 105 ankete geri dönüş yapılmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda tarımsal kooperatiflerde finansal ve ortak boyutunun ön planda olduğu,  öğrenme ve gelişme boyutunun arka planda kaldığı tespit edilerek, konuya yönelik çözüm önerileri geliştirilmiştir.
