The
most important principle in firm activities improving is performance
measurement. Financial institutions, especially commercial and specialist
banks, have a great role in the economic and social development of countries.
Therefore, performance analysis of these institutions is of great importance.
The main purpose of this study is to measure the performance efficiency of
eight selected commercial and expert banks in East Azerbaijan province of Iran
between 2013-2016. Data Envelopment Analysis which is based on linear
programming was used as the method in this study. According to the results of
the study, the scale inefficiency was greater than technical inefficiency in
all years and in almost all years the average managerial
efficiency was greater than the average scale efficiency. Therefore, the
problem of not operating the banks at the optimum scale is more severe than the
managerial inefficiency. In this context, banks are advised to use existing
resources more effectively, taking into account scale sizes.

İRAN’DA SEÇİLMİŞ BANKALARIN ETKİNLİK ANALİZİ: 2013-2016 DOĞU AZERBAYCAN ÖRNEĞİ

Öz

Firma faaliyetlerinin
iyileşmesindeki en önemli ilke, performans ölçümüdür. Finansal kurumlar ve
özellikle ticari ve uzman bankaların, ülkelerin ekonomik ve toplumsal
gelişmelerindeki rolleri çok büyüktür. Bu nedenle, bu kurumların performans
analizi de çok büyük önem arz etmektedir. Bu çalışmanın temel amacı 2013-2016
yıllar arası İran’ın Doğu Azerbaycan ilindeki seçilmiş sekiz ticari ve uzman bankanın
performans etkinliğini ölçmektir. Çalışmada yöntem olarak doğrusal programlama
temelli olan Veri Zarflama Analizi kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın sonuçlarına göre,
incelenen bütün yıllarda, ölçek etkinsizliği, teknik etkinsizlikten daha büyük
olup ve hemen hemen bütün yıllarda ortalama yönetimsel etkinlik ortalama ölçek
etkinlikten daha büyük olmuştur. Bu nedenle incelenen bankaların optimum
ölçekte faaliyet yapmama problemi, yönetimsel etkinsizlikten daha şiddetlidir
sonucu ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu bağlamda, bankalar ölçek büyüklüklerini dikkate
alarak, mevcut kaynakları daha etkin bir şekilde kullanılmaları önerilmektedir.
