TÜRKİYE’DE İŞ İNSANLARININ ÖRGÜTLER ARASI SOSYAL AĞLARA KATILMA NEDENLERİ

Abstract

Amaç - Bu çalışmada, Türkiye’de İSO ilk 500 sanayi kuruluşu içerisinde yer alan kuruluşların iş insanlarının sosyal ağlara katılma nedenlerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Metodoloji – Araştırma yöntemi olarak, araştırma sorusu gereği, araştırma verilerine dayanılarak niceliksel araştırma yöntemleri kullanılmıştır. Literatürdeki tartışmalardan yola çıkarak oluşturulan araştırma sorularını açıklamaya yönelik kuramsal çerçeve geliştirilmiş ve ağlara katılma nedenlerine yönelik gerekçeler oluşturulmuştur. Bu belirlenen 10 gerekçe, ağlara ilişkin çıkarımlarımızı desteklemek amacıyla Türk iş insanlarına anket formu yoluyla sorulmuştur. Bulgular - İş insanlarının ağlara katılma gerekçelerinde Türkiye’ye özgü birtakım sonuçlar görülmektedir. Türkiye’de ağ ilişkilerinin oluşumunda ve Türk iş insanlarının bu ağlara katılma gerekçelerinde yerelliğin etkisi görülmektedir. Benzer profildeki iş insanlarının benzer ağlarda toplandıkları tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç - İş insanlarının aynı bölgede yaşama ve çalışma, cinsiyet, tutulan spor kulübü, hemşehri ve mesleki dayanışma ağları gibi bağlama göre birbirleriyle bağlantılı yakınlaşmalar, gruplaşmalar ve kümelenmeler içerisinde bulundukları görülmektedir. Türk iş insanlarının da ağırlıklı olarak kendileri ile benzer nitelikleri taşıyan insanlarla bir araya gelmelerini sağlayan sosyal ağlarda yer aldıkları tespit edilmiştir. Araştırmanın sonuçları, girişimcilerin ortak özellikte olan diğer iş insanları ile yerleşik ilişkiler kurabildiğini göstermektedir. Türkiye’deki yerleşiklik etkisi, Batı’ya göre farklı saikler ve sonuçlar üretmektedir.

These 10 reasons were asked to Turkish business people via a questionnaire in order to support your conclusions about networks. Findings- There are some results specific to Turkey in the reasons for business people to join the networks.
