Do Stakeholder Relationship Management and Employee as a Stakeholder Behavior Affect Firm Performance? Research in Telecom Companies

The aim of the company in today's business world and in any sector is to reach the goals of increasing firm performance. Businesses are expected to adapt to constantly evolving and changing technologies and to offer their products or services to consumers effectively by using communication channels. These changes reveal that businesses should manage stakeholder relations carefully and smoothly. Basically, the attitudes and behaviors of employees affect the performance of businesses, which is reflected in consumer behavior. A single decision of the management structure in an enterprise can change the lives of stakeholders, either positively or negatively. The basis of the rapid transformation of the institutions is the impact of both industry 4.0 and subsequent industry 5.0 created by changes in technology, and the continuity of the wishes and needs of stakeholders. Stakeholder management theory is important for the sustainability and performance criteria of organizations. For this reason, the issue that organizations should consider firstly can respond to the demands and needs of stakeholders. When stakeholder relationship management and stakeholder behaviors areanalyzed, it can be explained that they have important effects on organizations. This paper was conducted on 424 white-collar officers and senior unit managers in various departments in the telecommunications sector concerning the subject of the effects of behaviors on relationship management. As a result of the analysis of the data obtained, it can be explained that all dimensions other than the coordination dimension of the stakeholder relationship management positively affect firm performance. At the same time, all aspects of stakeholder behavior have a positive effect on firm performance, except for employee engagement.

Günümüz iş dünyasında ve herhangi bir sektörde işletmelerinamacı belirlemiş oldukları hedeflere ulaşarak performanslarını arttırmaktır. İşletmelerin sürekli gelişen ve değişen teknolojilere uyum sağlamaları ve ürünlerini veya hizmetlerini iletişim kanallarını kullanarak tüketicilere etkin bir şekilde sunmaları beklenmektedir. Bu değişiklikler, işletmelerin paydaş ilişkilerini dikkatli ve sorunsuz bir şekilde yönetmesi gerektiğini ortaya koymaktadır. Temel olarak, çalışanların tutum ve davranışları işletmelerin performansını etkiler ve bu da tüketici davranışlarına yansır. Bir işletmedeki yönetim yapısının tek bir kararı, paydaşların yaşamlarını olumlu ya da olumsuz anlamda değiştirebilir. Kurumların hızlı bir dönüşüm yaşamaya başlamalarının temelinde hem teknoloji de meydana gelen değişimlerin yarattığı endüstri 4.0 ve devamında gelmekte olan endüstri 5.0’ın etkisi hem de paydaşların istek ve ihtiyaçlarının süreklilik arz etmesi bulunmaktadır. Paydaş yönetimi teorisinin kurumların sürdürülebilirlikleri ve performans kriterleri açısından önemi bulunmaktadır. Bu nedenle kurumların öncelikle dikkate almaları gereken husus paydaşların istek ve ihtiyaçlarına cevap verebilmektir. Araştırmada paydaş ilişkileri yönetimini temsil eden boyutlar ve paydaş davranışları etkisini temsil eden boyutlar ve bu boyutların herbirinin performansüzerindeki etkileri ayrı ayrı incelenmiştir. Genel anlamda, paydaş ilişkileri yönetimi ve paydaş davranışları incelendiğinde, kurumlar üzerinde önemli etkilerinin olduğu açıklanabilmektedir. Araştırmanın amacı kapsamında, telekomünikasyon sektöründeki çeşitli departmanlarda 424 beyaz yakalı çalışan ve üst düzey birim yöneticilerinden anketler toplanmıştır. Anketlerin toplanmasıyla elde edilen verilerin analizinde ve değerlendirilmesinde SPSS 25.00 programı kullanılmıştır.
