Some Factors Affecting Bank Managers’ Risk Perception

Öz

 

This study investigates the issue of whether some demographic factors and institutional characteristics affect the risk taking resiliency of bank managers. Our findings indicate that,  for the representative group of bank managers and assistant managers in Ankara – Turkey, the factors such as the sector of the bank, age and the years of experience in banking affect the bank managers’ tendency towards taking risk. The results reveal that managers who are working in the private banks, are younger and have less banking experience are more willing to take risks.

Öz

Bu çalışma, bazı demografik faktörler ile kurumsal özelliklerin banka yöneticilerinin risk alma eğilimini etkileyip etkilemediğini belirlemeye yöneliktir. Ankara’daki bankalarda görevli müdür ve müdür yardımcıları açısından bakıldığında; çalışmaya katılan yöneticilerin yaşlarının, bankacılık sektöründeki deneyimlerinin ve çalıştıkları banka sektörünün, risk alma eğilimlerini etkilediği belirlenmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre, bankacılık sektöründeki deneyimi kısa olan, genç ve özel bankalarda yönetici konumunda olanlar risk almaya diğer yöneticilerden daha eğilimli görünmektedirler.
