Bu çalışmanın amacı, vekalet teorisi bağlamında sanal organizasyon yapılarını incelemektir. Vekalet teorisi, profesyonel yönetici ve kurum sahibi arasındaki ilişkileri ele alan ve bunlar arasında doğan problemleri inceleyen bir kuramdır. Özellikle yöneticilerin, sahiplerin çıkarlarını tam anlamıyla temsil etmeme riski ve bilgi asimetrisi gibi sorunlar kuram kapsamında önemlidir. Sanal organizasyonlar ise günümüzde yaygınlık kazanan ve geleneksel organizasyon yapılarının sahip olduğu dezavantajı ortadan kaldırma iddiasında olan bir organizasyon modelidir. Dijital ortamda faaliyet gösteren bu organizasyonlar, organizasyonel esneklik, verimlilik ve maliyet avantajına sahiptirler. Bu bağlamda çalışmada vekalet teorisi tarafından öne sürülen problemlere karşı, sanal organizasyonların geliştirdiği örgütlenme modeli ve problemlere karşı geliştirilen cevaplar ele alınmıştır.

AN EVALUATION OF VIRTUAL ORGANIZATIONS IN THE CONTEXT OF AGENCY THEORY

Öz

The purpose of this study is to examine virtual organizational structures in the context of agency theory. Agency theory is a theory that deals with the relationship between professional managers and owners of institutions and examines the problems that arise between them. In particular, problems such as the risk of managers not fully representing the interests of owners and information asymmetry are important within the framework of the theory. Virtual organizations are an organizational model that has become widespread today and claims to eliminate the disadvantages of traditional organizational structures. These organizations operating in the digital environment have organizational flexibility, efficiency and cost advantages. In this context, the study examines the organizational model developed by virtual organizations against the problems posed by agency theory and the responses developed against the problems.
