Öz

Günümüz işletmeciliğinde örgütleri başarıya taşıyan en önemli faktörlerden birisi de çalışanlarındır. Örgütlerin rekabet etmesinde önemli unsurlardan olan insan kaynağının örgütlere pozitif bakış açıları sunmaları, örgütlerin başarısını artıran bir unsur olarak değerlendirilmektedir. Bu doğrultuda, çalışanların örgütlere pozitif bakış açısı sunmalarını sağlayan kavramlardan birisi de örgütsel demokrasi kavramıdır. Örgütsel demokrasinin sağlanması ile çalışanlar alınan kararlara katılabilmekte, çalışanların kendilerine değer verildiği yönündeki algıları ve motivasyonları artmaktadır. Bu çalışmada; örgütsel demokrasi kavramı ele alınarak kavramın çalışanlar üzerine etkisinin incelenmesi hedeflenmektedir.
