ÖRGÜTSEL BİLGELİK VE FİRMA YENİLİKÇİLİĞİ VE PERFORMANSINA ETKİSİ

Önemli bir kavram olan, örgütsel bilgelik kavramı birçok alandaki araştırmacıların dikkatini çekmektedir. Fakat örgütsel bilgeliğin bileşenlerini oluşturan değişkenlerin veya örgütsel uygulamaların erdemlilik ve pratik olma gibi örgütün yenilikçiliği ve finansal performansı üzerine olan etkilerini tartışan çalışmalar çok azdır. Bu çalışmada, erdemlilik ve pratik olma uygulamalarının artan çevresel belirsizlikle firma yenilikçiliğini etkilediği tartışılmıştır. Ayrıca firma yenilikçiliğinin örgütsel bilgelik uygulamaları ile firmanın finansal performansı arasında kısmı bir aracı rol oynadığı anlatılmıştır. Son olarak, çalışmanın teorik ve yönetsel uygulamaları anlatılmıştır

Anahtar Kelimeler:

ORGANIZATIONAL WISDOM AND ITS IMPACT ON FIRM INNOVATION AND PERFORMANCE

As a fascinating concept, the term organizational wisdom started to attract many researchers from a variety of disciplines. Nevertheless, how the organizational wisdom related practices, such as virtue and practicality, impact the firm innovativeness and financial performance is rarely argued in the literature. We argued that virtue and practicality practices positively impact the firm’s innovativeness with increasing level of environmental uncertainty. We also mentioned that firm innovativeness positively mediates the relationship between organizational wisdom and firm financial performance. Further, we argued the managerial and theoretical implications of the study.
