MUSHROOM MANAGEMENT APPROACH
Abstract
The concept of Mushroom Management has been involved in the
management science in recent years and is named after the metaphor of raising
mushrooms. Just as mushrooms are fertilized, left in the dark and cultivated in
a short time; mushroom managers also provide the necessary business resources
to employees, however, they do not share the policies, revenues of the
organization and business risks with them. The objective of study is to embrace
and examine the concept of mushroom management theoretically, develop an
assessment instrument for determining this perception and bring the concept and
the scale in the Turkish literature. The theoretical part was formed by using
the limited number of studies in literature. Field study was conducted by
applying a questionnaire to 200 employees at a private health institution in
the province of Trabzon with the help of an 8 point Likert scale, which was
developed for measuring the concept of mushroom management. The acquired data
were analyzed by using the SPSS and LISREL softwares. It was determined that
study participants had moderate level of mushroom management perception. 58% of
employees who participated in the study stated that the management did not
establish a direct communication with junior employees and share all the
information about the organization. On the other hand, a Turkish scale of eight
items measuring the mushroom management perception was developed within the
scope of this study. Besides, as mushroom management contains total opposite
applications of open, democratic, participative and transparent management
applications; it is perceived as a negative approach. However, it might turn
into a useful means for managers in some cases (like preventing chaos,
preserving the organization’s confidentiality) in practice.
