TÜRKİYE İLİŞKİLİ KURUMSAL YÖNETİM KONULU MAKALELERİN BİBLİYOMETRİK YÖNTEM VE SİSTEMATİK ANALİZLE İNCELENMESİ: BİR LİTERATÜR ARAŞTIRMASI

Öz

Kurumsal yönetim organizasyonların daha etkin ve daha şeffaf yönetilebilmeleri için kullanılabilecek bir araçtır. 21. yüzyılın başından itibaren hem dünyada hem de Türkiye’de kurumsal yönetim ilkelerine verilen önem artmıştır. Nitekim, bu alandaki akademik literatür de uygulamanın geniş bir alana yayılmasıyla ilgi çekici bir gelişim göstermiştir. Diğer bir ifadeyle işletme/yönetim literatüründe kurumsal yönetim konusuyla son yıllarda giderek daha sık karşılaşılır olmuştur. Bu çalışmada Web of Science veri tabanı üzerinden ulaşılan, kurumsal yönetimle ilgili Türkiye ilişkili 245 makale incelenmiştir. Yöntem olarak ise sırasıyla tanımlayıcı analiz, bibliometrik analiz ve sistematik (tematik) analiz kullanılmıştır. Söz konusu üç methodla bu alandaki literatür boşlukları ve araştırmacı yönelimleri tespit edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Bu doğrultuda ilk olarak tanımlayıcı analizde Türkiye ilişkili yayınlarda “etik” ve “hukuk” alanlarında yeterince yayın yapılmadığı görülmüştür. Yine kurumsal yönetimle ilgili çalışmaların sayısının hem Türkiye ilişkili olanlarda hem de dünya genelinde hızla arttığı sonucuna varılmıştır. Yine bibliometrik analiz çerçevesinde VOSviewer programı ile yapılan görselleştirmede kurumsal yönetimle ilgili makalelerin özellikle “finansal performans” konusu ile ilişkili olduğu bulgulanmıştır. Çalışmada tematik analiz çerçevesinde ise altı tema belirlenmiş ve her tema değerlendirilerek altı literatür boşluğu tespit edilmiştir. Bu kapsamda literatüre katkıda bulunabilecek araştırma boşluklarının spesifik olarak açıklanmasının yanı sıra genel bir değerlendirme olarak muhtemel nitel ya da kavramsal çalışmaların atıf performanslarına dikkat edilmesi gerektiği ifade edilmiştir.

INVESTIGATION OF STUDIES ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE RELATED TURKEY WITH BIBLIOMETRIC METHOD AND SYSTEMATIC ANALYSIS: A LITERATURE REVIEW

Öz

Corporate governance is a tool that can be used to manage organizations more effectively and more transparently. Since the beginning of the 21st century, the importance given to corporate governance principles has increased both in the world and in Turkey. As a matter of fact, the academic literature in this field has shown an interesting development as the application has spread to a wide area. In other words, the subject of corporate governance has become increasingly common in business/management literature in recent years. In this study, 245 Turkey-related articles on corporate governance, accessed through the Web of Science database, were examined. Descriptive analysis, bibliometric analysis and systematic (thematic) analysis were used as methods, respectively. Using these three methods, literature gaps and researcher trends in this field were tried to be identified. In this regard, firstly, in the descriptive analysis, it was seen that there were not enough publications in the fields of "ethics" and "law" in Turkey-related publications. Again, it has been concluded that the number of studies on corporate governance is increasing rapidly both in Turkey and around the world. Again, within the framework of bibliometric analysis, in the visualization made with the VOSviewer program, it was found that articles related to corporate governance were especially related to the subject of "financial performance". In the study, within the framework of thematic analysis, six themes were determined and each theme was evaluated and six literature gaps were identified. In this context, it has been stated that in addition to specifically explaining the research gaps that can contribute to the literature, attention should be paid to the citation performance of possible qualitative or conceptual studies as a general evaluation.
