Örgütsel işlevsizlik, örgütlerdeki iş süreçlerinde belirgin hale gelen ve
sürdürüldüğünde maliyeti ağır sonuçların doğacağına işaret eden semptom ve
sinyallerin göz ardı edilmesi durumunu tarif etmektedir. Örgüt üyelerinin söz konusu
semptom ve sinyalleri kasıtlı olarak göz ardı etmelerinin yönetsel, bilişsel ve
psikolojik boyutları bulunmaktadır. Bu makalede, bireylerin hataları fark edip
süreçleri yeniden ayarlamak yerine işlevsizliğin devinimine uyum sağlamayı
tercih etmelerinin altyapısını inceleyen işlevsiz momentum yaklaşımı,
örgütlerin neden yönelmeyi arzu ettikleri istikametin tam tersine yol alma eğiliminde
olduğunu inceleyen Abilene paradoksu ekseninde tahlil edilecektir. Örgütsel
işlevsizliğin bir öğrenmeme hali olduğu yorumundan hareketle makaledeki tahlil
tek-döngülü ve çift-döngülü öğrenme modelleri ile ilişkilendirilecektir.

Anahtar Kelimeler
