Abstract

Bir kurumun nasıl işlediğini anlamak için öncelikle o kurumun örgüt kültürünü incelemek gereklidir ve kamu sektöründe de bu yöntem yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır. Kültür, kamu kuruluşlarının yaptığı tüm eylemlerin, süreçlerin ve sonuçların özünü oluşturur. Yönetim kültürü kavramı aynı zamanda yeni yönetim tekniklerinin kamu sektörü alanında etkili olması ve farklı kültür tarzlarının bu sektörde uygulanabileceği fikrinin literatürde vurgulanmasıyla ön plana çıkmıştır. Değişim zamanlarında, kültür ve strateji arasındaki tutarlılık, sürdürülebilir bir organizasyon yapısı oluşturmak için özellikle önemli görülmektedir. Bu makale, Türkiye'deki bir yükseköğretim kurumunun mevcut ve gelecekte sahip olmayı istediği örgüt kültürünü araştırmayı ve bu kültür çeşitlerinin stratejik planlama süreciyle oluşturulan kurumsal hedef ve amaçlarla ne ölçüde paralellik gösterdiğini irdelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Ampirik sonuçlar, kurum personelinin halihazırda hiyerarşi kültürünü en baskın kültür çeşidi olarak gördüğünü gösterirken, gelecekte kurumda görülmek istenen kültürün ise adhokrasi kültürü olduğunu açığa çıkarmıştır. Teorik ve ampirik çıkarımlar makale boyunca incelenmektedir.

PRELIMINARY IDENTIFICATION OF ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE STYLES IN THE PROCESS OF STRATEGIC PLANNING: EMPLOYEE PERCEPTION IN THE TURKISH PUBLIC HIGHER EDUCATION

Abstract

It is widely accepted that culture is an essential element to understand how any organization functions and public sector organizations are certainly not out of this. Comprehending organizational culture is a prerequisite to examine the public sector thoroughly because it forms the essence of all the actions, processes and outcomes in the organizations. Indeed, the vast majority of the previous studies emphasise that the concept has become much relevant with the strategy-making process in the public organizations, which mainly needs to be consistent with the culture types of organization. In times of change, the consistency between culture and strategy is key to create a sustainable organizational structure. The paper primarily intends to explore the culture of a higher education institution in Turkey and investigates to what extent the culture of the institution is ready for an organizational change, which is aimed to be generated through the strategic planning process. The empirical results show that hierarchical culture is seen as the most dominant existing culture among other types, while the desired culture, which the members of the institution would like to embrace, appears to be adhocracy culture. Theoretical, and empirical implications, are investigated throughout the paper.
