MUHASEBE KÜLTÜRÜ İLE İLGİLİ SEÇİLMİŞ BAZI ÇALIŞMALARIN AMPİRİK ANALİZİ

Öz

Kültür, bir ülkenin muhasebe sistemini etkileyen önemli çevresel faktörlerden biridir. İlgili yazında bu konuyu vurgulayan birçok çalışma bulunmaktadır. Konuyla ilgili Gray’in 1988 yılında yaptığı çalışma öncü çalışmalardan biridir. Bu çalışmasında Gray, Hofstede’nin toplumsal kültür boyutlarıyla ilişkilendirdiği ve “muhasebe kültürü değerleri” olarak adlandırdığı fakat ampirik olarak test etmediği çerçeve bir model sunmuştur. Sık sık Hofstede-Gray modeli olarak adlandırılan bu model günümüze kadar kültür ve muhasebe ilişkisini araştıran birçok çalışmanın dayanağını oluşturmuştur. Bu çalışmada muhasebe kültürü alanında yapılmış çalışmalar hakkında genel bir bilgi verildikten sonra seçilmiş bazı ampirik çalışmaların sonuçlarının Gray’in sınıflandırmasına uyan-uymayan yönleri açısındandeğerlendirilmesi yapılacaktır
