Associating the Variables Related to Innovation with the Process of Developing Organizational Resilience

Öz

Today, the covid-19 pandemic, natural disasters, newly developing virtual currency exchanges, turmoil, which can be exemplified by sudden economic fluctuations, push organizations to struggle to exist in an unpredictable environment. Organizations have become much more fragile in this new field of struggle, which requires determining the direction of change at the strategic management level. The flexibility of organizations can be expressed with the concept of organizational resilience framework. Organizations that can turn the turbulences in their favor for innovation and change by giving flexible responses in the face of the turbulences will be able to survive. The main purpose of the research is to correlate the organizational resilience development process with the variables related to innovation. At the end of the study, it has been revealed that the most critical component of the adaptation capacity, which is the source of flexible responses, is innovation and that the resilience of the organization will increase if the culture of innovation is a strong component of the organizational culture. It has also been suggested that innovation culture is one of the general indicators of organizational resilience. In this context, it becomes the basic condition for organizations to develop this capacity by investing in their innovation culture.

Örgütsel Dayanıklılığın Geliştirilmesi Süreci ile İnovasyona İlişkin Değişkenlerin İlişkilendirilmesi

Öz

Günümüzde Covid-19 pandemisi, doğal afetler, yeni gelişen sanal para borsaları, ani ekonomik dalgalanmalar ile örneklenebilecek çalkantılar örgütleri öngörülemeyen bir çevrede var olma mücadelesine itmektedir. Stratejik yönetim seviyesinde değişimin yönünü belirlemeyi gerektiren bu yeni mücadele sahasında örgütler çok daha kırılgan hale gelmiştir. Örgütlerin esneklikleri örgütsel dayanıklılık çatı kavramı ile ifade edilebilir. Yaşanan çalkantılar karşısında esnek tepkiler vererek çalkantıları inovasyon ve değişim için lehine çevirebilen örgütler varlıklarını sürdürebilecektir. Araştırmanın temel amacı örgütsel dayanıklılığın geliştirilmesi süreci ile inovasyona ilişkin değişkenlerin ilişkilendirilmesidir. Çalışma sonucunda esnek tepkilerin kaynağı olan adaptasyon kapasitesinin en kritik bileşeninin inovasyon olduğu ve inovasyon kültürünün örgüt kültürünün güçlü bir bileşeni olması halinde örgütün dayanıklılığın artacağı ortaya koyulmuştur. Ayrıca inovasyon kültürünün örgütsel dayanıklılık genel göstergelerinden biri olduğu önerilmiştir. Bu bağlamda örgütlerin inovasyon kültürlerine yatırım yaparak bu kapasiteyi geliştirmeleri varlıklarını sürdürmeleri için temel şart haline gelmektedir.
