Kamu Sektöründe Beşeri ve Sosyal Sermayenin Çalışan Performansı Üzerindeki Etkisi

Öz

İçinde bulunduğumuz bilgi çağı ve ekonomisinde beşeri ve sosyal sermaye çalışanların ve örgütlerin performansını belirleyen temel sermaye türlerinden ikisi olarak görülmektedir. Bu bağlamda çalışmanın konusu beşeri ve sosyal sermayenin kamu personelinin performansı üzerindeki etkileridir. Çalışmanın konusunu oluşturan araştırma kesitsel tipte bir saha araştırması olup; bir yerel yönetim kuruluşunda çalışan 377 kamu personeli üzerinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmada beşerî ve sosyal sermayenin çalışanların iş performansı üzerinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ve pozitif yönde bir etkisinin olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Çalışanların iş performansı üzerinde sosyal sermayenin beşerî sermayeden daha fazla etkisi olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Ortaya konulan sonuçlar çerçevesinde, beşerî ve sosyal sermayenin en az özel sektör kuruluşları kadar kamu kuruluşları için de önemli birer kaynak olduğunu ve çalışan ve örgüt performansının geliştirilmesi için mutlaka bu iki sermaye türüne yatırım yapılması gerektiğini söylemek mümkündür.

Öz

In the information age and economy we live in, human and social capital are regarded as two of the main types of capital that determine the performance of employees and organizations. In this context, the subject of this study is the effects of human and social capital on the performance of civil servants. This is a cross-sectional field study and it was carried out on 377 civil servants working in a local government institution. It was concluded in the study that human and social capital has a statistically significant and positive effect on the working performance of employees. It was determined that social capital has more effect than human capital on the job performance of employees. Within the framework of the results, it is possible to say that human and social capital is an important resource for public institutions as well as private sector institutions, and it is absolutely necessary to invest in these two types of capital in order to improve employee and organizational performance.
