Abstract

In this study, general financial literacy levels of managers working in the health sector, lower, middle and upper management levels in Adıyaman province and its districts were determined. The relationship between the determined general financial literacy level and management skills, and the effect of financial literacy on management skills have been revealed.

In addition, another distinguishing feature of this work is that it is three-dimensional: First; measuring general financial literacy and management skills, second; measuring the effect of general financial literacy level on management skills and the third dimension is making these measurements in an area where very valuable resources are transferred, such as the health sector.

Finansal Okuryazarlığın Yönetim Becerileri Üzerine Etkisinin İncelenmesi: Adıyaman Sağlık Sektörü Örneği

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, Adıyaman ili ve ilçelerinde, sağlık sektöründe, alt, orta ve üst yönetim kademelerinde görev yapan, yöneticilerin, genel finansal okuryazarlık düzeyleri belirlenmiştir. Belirlenen genel finansal okuryazarlık düzeyinin, yönetim becerileri ile ilişkisi ve finansal okuryazarlığın yönetim becerileri üzerindeki etkisi ortaya konulmuştur. Ayrıca, yöneticilerin genel finansal okuryazarlık ve yönetim becerileri düzeylerinin, kişisel, kuşaksal, eğitimsel ve yönetsel özellikleri açısından farklılık gösterip göstermediği de tartışılmıştır. Ayrıca bu çalışmanın bir diğer ayırt edici özelliği de üç boyutlu olmasıdır: Birincisi; genel finansal okuryazarlık ve yönetim becerilerinin ölçülmesi, ikincisi; genel finansal okuryazarlık düzeyinin yönetim becerileri üzerindeki etkisinin ölçülmesi ve üçüncü boyut ise bu ölçümlerin sağlık sektörü gibi çok değerli kaynakların aktarıldığı bir alanda yapılmasıdır.
