Bu çalışma, insan hakları ve örgütsel toplumsal sorumlulukların kurumsal kuram perspektifinden incelenmesini amaçlamaktadır. Çalışma, özellikle insan hakları ve örgütsel meşruiyet arasındaki ilişkiyi ele alarak, örgütlerin sürdürülebilir iş modelleri geliştirmesinde bu kavramların rolünü incelemektedir. Kurumsal kuram çerçevesinde, örgütlerin sadece ekonomik ve teknik gerekliliklere değil, aynı zamanda toplumsal ve kültürel normlara da uyum sağlaması gerektiği vurgulanmaktadır. Bu bağlamda çalışma, Türkçe literatürde henüz yeterince ilişkilendirilmemiş olan insan hakları ve örgüt çalışmaları alanlarını bir araya getirerek özgün bir kavramsal çerçeve sunmayı hedeflemektedir. Araştırma, örgütsel meşruiyet, toplumsal kabul, sosyal sorumluluk ve sürdürülebilirlik konularını küreselleşme süreci perspektifinden ele alarak, bu alanda yeni bir kavramsal model önerisi geliştirmektedir.

HUMAN RIGHTS AND ORGANIZATIONAL LEGITIMACY FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF INSTITUTIONAL THEORY: THE IMPACT OF SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITIES ON SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS MODELS

Öz

This study aims to examine human rights and organizational social responsibilities from an institutional theory perspective. The research particularly focuses on the relationship between human rights and organizational legitimacy, investigating the role of these concepts in developing sustainable business models for organizations. Within the framework of institutional theory, it is emphasized that organizations must comply not only with economic and technical requirements but also with social and cultural norms. In this context, the study aims to present an original conceptual framework by bringing together the fields of human rights and organizational studies, which have not been adequately associated in Turkish literature. The research develops a new conceptual model proposal by addressing organizational legitimacy, social acceptance, social responsibility, and sustainability from a globalization process perspective.
