Bu çalışma, yönetim kuram ve uygulamalarında dinin rolü ve etkisini incelemektedir. Yönetim olgusunun tarihselliğine bağlı olarak, yönetim pratikleri ve teknikleri genellikle belirli ideolojileri destekleyici mahiyette bir değer sistemi içermektedir. Gerek geleneksel/bürokratik modelde gerekse yeni kamu işletmeciliği modelinde kullanılan dini kavramlar ve değerler/inanışlar da bunun bir kanıtı niteliğindedir. Ancak yönetim pratiklerinde dinsel bilgi, metaforlar, mitler ve sembollerin yeri ve önemi literatürde neredeyse tamamen göz ardı edilmiştir. Bu bağlamda çalışmanın amacı, yönetim ve din ilişkisinin şekillenmesinde tarihsel uğrak noktalarını ortaya çıkarmak ve dinin kamu hizmeti etiğini ve değerlerini nasıl etkilediğini belirlemektir. Yönetim bilimi tartışmalarının Kuzey Avrupa ve Amerika eksenli biçimlenmesi nedeniyle Hristiyan düşünce sistemine daha fazla odaklanılsa da, diğer dini inanışların etkisine de kısmen değinilmiştir. Çalışmada, yönetim pratiklerinin altında dışarıdan bakıldığında çoğu zaman görülemeyen ancak yönetim anlayışının ve örgütsel kültürün dönüşümünü pekiştirici dini-ahlaki söylem ve metaforların saklı olduğu öne sürülmektedir.

ON RELIGIOUS ROOTS IN MANAGEMENT SCIENCE

Öz

This study examines the role and effect of religion in management theories and practices. Depending on the historicity of the phenomenon of management, management practices and techniques often include a value system that supports certain ideologies. The religious concepts and values/beliefs used in both the traditional/bureaucratic model and the new public management model are proof of this. However, the place and importance of religious knowledge, metaphors, myths and symbols in management practices have been almost completely ignored in the literature. In this context, the aim of the study is to reveal the historical moments of shaping the relationship between management and religion and to determine how religion affects the ethics and values of public service. Although it was more focused on the Christian thought system as a result of the formulation of the debates on Management Science in axis North Europe and America, the effects of other religious beliefs were partly mentioned. In the study, it is asserted to hidden that religious-moral discourse and metaphors, which are not often seen from the outside under management practices, but support the transformation of management understanding and organizational culture.
