Bu çalışma, kültürel sermayenin kariyer başarısındaki rolünü incelemektedir. Kariyer başarısını etkileyen hususlar, yazında çoğunlukla demografik, beşerî sermaye, sosyal sermaye ve yapısal faktörler ekseninde ele alınmış ancak bireyin erken çocukluk döneminden itibaren edinmeye başladığı kültürel sermayenin etkisi yeterli ilgiliyi görmemiştir. Yapılmış sınırlı çalışma, kültürel sermayenin işe girişte destekleyici bir unsur olduğunu savunmakla birlikte kişinin kariyer başarısında nerede durduğuna yönelik sonuçların bulanık olduğu görülmektedir. Nicel veri toplama yönetiminin tercih edildiği araştırmada, İletişim Danışmanlığı Şirketleri Derneği’ne (İDA) bağlı şirketlerde çalışan 126 halkla ilişkiler profesyoneline ulaşılmıştır. Ayrıca, kolayda örnekleme tekniği ile diğer sektörlerde çalışan 199 uzmana ölçekler uygulanmış ve elde edilen veriler analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmanın bulgularına göre, Türkiye’deki çalışanların kültürel sermayeleri ile kariyer başarıları (nesnel ve öznel) arasında pozitif yönde anlamlı bir ilişki vardır. Bununla birlikte halkla ilişkiler uzmanlarının kültürel sermaye düzeyleri diğer çalışanlara göre yüksek olsa bile söz konusu kültürel kaynakların kariyer başarısı üzerindeki etkisinin diğer çalışanlara göre çok daha sınırlı olduğu bulgulanmıştır.

THE ROLE OF CULTURAL CAPITAL ON CAREER SUCCESS

Öz

This research paper examines the role of cultural capital on career success. Career success were mostly discussed in the literature on the axis of demographic, human capital, social capital and structural factors, but the effect of cultural capital, which the individual started to acquire from early childhood, received limited attention. Although it has been argued that cultural capital plays role during the recruitment phases of professional service careers, it is unclear that whether it plays a role in career success. Quantitative data collection method was preferred in this study. 126 public relations professionals working in companies affiliated to the Communication Consultancy Companies Association (IDA) and with the convenience sampling technique 199 experts working in other sectors were reached. The results have indicated that, there is a positive and significant relationship between the cultural capital of the employees and their career success (objective and subjective). However, even though the cultural capital levels of public relations experts are higher than those of other employees, it has been found that the effect of these cultural resources on career success is much more limited than that of other employees.
