Türk Devlet ÜniversitelerininÖrgüt Kültürü Tipinin Belirlenmesi: Akademik Personelin Görüşleri

Bu çalışmanın amacı Rekabetçi Değerler Modeli (RDM) kullanılarak Türk üniversitelerinin örgüt kültürü tipinin belirlenmesidir. Bu modelde klan, yenilikçi, market ve hiyerarşi kültür tiplerine bağlı olarak baskın örgüt kültürü tipi incelenir ve örgüt kültüründe yapılabilecek değişiklikler belirlenir. Bu çalışmada, dört farklı devlet üniversitesinden 21 akademik personelle görüşme yapılmıştır. Görüşme sorularının anafikri RDM'ye bağlı olarak oluşturulan Örgüt Kültürü Belirleme Ölçeği'ne benzerlik göstermektedir. Bu method örgüt kültürü tipi hakkında daha derin ve genel bir bilgi sağlamaktadır. Çalışmanın sonuçlarına göre, Türk üniversitelerindeki baskın örgüt kültürü tipi hiyerarşidir. Bunu market kültürü izlemektedir. Hiyerarşi ve market kültürünün özellikleri birlikte değerlendirildiğinde devlet üniversitelerindeki genel kültürel yapının yenilikçi bir ortamın olduğu organik süreçler yerine kontrollü yapının hâkim olduğu mekanik süreçleri yansıttığı söylenebilir.

Identifying Type of Organizational Culture in Turkish Public Universities: Academic Staff Members’ Perceptions

This study aims to investigate the current organizational type of Turkish universities using Competing Values Framework (CVF). This framework measures the dominant organizational culture in terms of four culture types: Clan, adhocracy, market and hierarchy and identifies the required changes in an organization’s culture. In the present study, semi-structured interviews were administered to 21 university academic staff members from four public universities. The main idea of the interview questions was similar to the ones in OCAI. This method allowed us to get deeper understanding of the overall organizational type. The results show that the dominant organizational culture type is hierarchy followed by market culture. Upon evaluating the common aspects of hierarchy and market cultures, it is concluded that the general cultural structure of state universities reflects the mechanical processes with a controlled structure rather than organic processes with an innovative environment.
