The objective of this research is to establish a theoretical and empirical connection between organizational resilience and its proposed precursors, i.e., organizational learning culture and innovation climate, and elucidate how these factors can contribute to the development of resilience within companies. This study examines learning culture and innovation climate as organizational resources that lead to success. The hypotheses formulated in light of relevant literature are tested using quantitative data obtained from a questionnaire given to managers from small or medium-sized companies and also larger companies in Türkiye. The empirical data is analyzed and the results suggest that innovation climate mediates the association between learning culture and organizational resilience.

Öğrenme kültürü ve kurumsal dayanıklılık arasındaki ilişkide inovasyon ikliminin aracı etkisi

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı, örgütsel dayanıklılık kavramını örgütsel öğrenme kültürü ve inovasyon iklimi gibi önerilen öncülleriyle teorik ve ampirik olarak ilişkilendirmek ve bunların kuruluşlar için dayanıklılık oluşturmaya nasıl yardımcı olabileceğini açıklamaktır. Bu bağlamda bu çalışma, inovasyon iklimi ve öğrenme kültürünü başarıya katkıda bulunan örgütsel kaynaklar olarak ele alarak kaynak temelli bakış teorisine katkıda bulunmaktadır. Türkiye’deki işletmelerin orta düzey yöneticilerine uygulanan anket yoluyla toplanan nicel veriler, ilgili literatür ışığında geliştirilen hipotezleri test etmek için kullanılmıştır. Sonuçlar, inovasyon ikliminin örgütsel öğrenme kültürü ve örgütsel dayanıklılık arasındaki ilişki üzerindeki aracı etkisine yönelik destekleyici ampirik kanıtlar sağlamıştır.
