In this context, a questionnaire was applied to the employees of public organizations for examining their perceptions on strategy implementation/ execution process and strategy execution obstacles. These obstacles were classified as in six groups: translation of strategic objectives to employees, motivation level, resistance, development hell, groupthink and underperformance. Findings from the survey suggest that the translation stage was perceived as successful, the level of understanding the strategic objectives and the perceived motivation was high, any other obstacles were not perceived at the public organizations except the development hell obstacle.</p></abstract>

                            <p>Bu çalışmanın temel amacı Türkiye’de kamu sektöründe stratejilerin başarılı bir şekilde hayata geçirilmesini engelleyen faktörlerin çalışanlar tarafından nasıl algılandığının tespit edilmesidir. Bu çerçevede, kamu çalışanlarına strateji uygulama süreci ve bu süreçte karşılaşılabilecek engeller konusundaki algılarını ölçmeye yönelik anket uygulanmıştır. Bu engeller stratejik amaçların çalışanlara aktarılması, motivasyon düzeyi, direnç, tıkanma, grup düşüncesi ve düşük performans olmak üzere altı grupta toplanmaktadır. Yapılan analizler sonucunda kamu kurumlarında aktarım aşamasının başarılı olarak algılandığı ortaya çıkmıştır. Bunun göstergelerinden biri olan çalışanların stratejik amaçları anlama ve motivasyon düzeyleri yüksek çıkmıştır. Strateji uygulama engellerinin varlığına yönelik gerçekleştirilen analizler sonucunda ise tıkanma engeli dışındaki engellerin kamu kurumlarında algılanmadığı görülmüştür.</p></trans-abstract>
