Yönetim biliminde işgören refahı ve örgütsel etkinlik, örgütlerin
rekabet üstünlüğü sağlayabilmeleri için kullanılan önemli iki faktördür. Örgüt
sağlığı kavramı ise, bu iki faktörü bir arada incelemektedir. En genel tanımı ile
sağlıklı örgüt, bulunduğu çevrede yaşamını sürdürmenin yanı sıra, uzun vadede
devamlı olarak gelişen, çevre koşulları ile baş etme ve yaşama yeteneklerini
geliştiren örgüttür. Bir örgütün yoğun rekabet ortamında ayakta kalması ve
gelişen teknoloji sebebiyle yaşanan değişime ayak uydurması ancak sağlıklı bir
örgüt yapısı ile mümkündür. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türk yönetim yazınında
henüz gereken ilgiyi görmemiş olan bu kavrama dikkat çekmektir. Ayrıca
çalışmada, sağlıklı ve sağlıksız örgütlerin farkları belirtilerek, örgüt sağlığını
arttırmak için yapılması gerekenler üzerinde de durulmuştur.

Anahtar Kelimeler
