With the rapidly developing electronic communication tools, collaboration between employees in organizations has become virtual. Traditional electronic interaction leads to a virtual transformation of organizational socialization. Organizational socialization which is explained by an employee's adaptation to their co-workers, work environment and job is a dynamic process that is constantly changing and developing. It is evaluated that understanding how this dynamic process is provided through virtual communication, the extent to which virtual communication and virtual collaboration affect it, and the contribution of virtual collaboration and organizational socialization to employees through virtual communication could be the subject of many studies in the upcoming period. Positive improvement of virtual collaboration and/or organizational socialization process through virtual communication will create opportunities for the employee and the institution. In its negative form, the employee and the institution will have to cope with the threats they face. Because of this reason understanding the effects of virtual communication on virtual collaboration and organizational socialization is important in terms of analyzing employee job satisfaction and improving corporate efficiency and quality. The aim of this study is to show how virtual communication tools affect virtual collaboration and organizational socialization among organization members.

SANAL İLETİŞİM, SANAL İŞ BİRLİĞİ VE ÖRGÜTSEL SOSYALLEŞME ARASINDAKİ İLİŞKİLERİN BELİRLENMESİ

Öz

Hızla gelişen elektronik iletişim araçlarıyla birlikte örgütlerdeki işgörenler arasında iş birliği sanal hale gelmiştir. Geleneksel elektronik etkileşim, beraberinde örgütsel sosyalleşmenin de sanal dönüşümünü ortaya çıkarmaktadır. Örgütsel sosyalleşme, işgörenin iş arkadaşlarına, iş ortamına ve işine uyum sağlamasıyla açıklanan, sürekli değişen ve gelişen, dinamik bir süreçtir. Bu dinamik sürecin, sanal iletişim yoluyla nasıl sağlandığı veya sanal iletişim ve sanal iş birliğinden ne derece etkilendiğinin anlaşılmasının ve sanal iletişim yoluyla sanal iş birliği ve örgütsel sosyalleşmenin, işgörene sağladığı katkının, önümüzdeki süreçte birçok araştırmaya konu edilebilecek nitelikte olduğu değerlendirilmektedir. Sanal iletişim yoluyla gerçekleşecek sanal iş birliği ve/veya örgütsel sosyalleşme sürecinin olumlu bir şekilde gelişmesi, işgören ve kurum açısından yeni fırsatlar yaratacaktır. Olumsuz şekillenmesinde ise işgören ve kurum, karşı karşıya olduğu tehditler ile baş etmek zorunda kalacaktır. Bu nedenle sanal iletişimin sanal iş birliği ve örgütsel sosyalleşmeye etkilerinin anlaşılması; işgörenin iş tatmini ekseninde, kurumsal verimliliğin ve kalitenin yükseltilmesinin analizi yönüyle önem taşımaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, sanal iletişim araçlarının örgüt üyeleri arasında sanal iş birliğini ve örgütsel sosyalizasyonu nasıl etkilediğini göstermektir.
