İŞ SİMÜLASYONU OYUNLARININ YÖNETSEL YETKİNLİK GELİŞTİRME SÜREÇLERİNDEKİ ROLÜ: ÇANAKKALE ONSEKİZ MART ÜNİVERSİTESİ ÖRNEĞİ

İş simülasyonu oyunları; iş süreçlerinin karmaşıklığının anlaşılmasına ve yönetsel yetkinliklerin geliştirilmesine olanak sunmaktadır. Yazında yapılan araştırmalarda iş simülasyonu oyunlarının eğitim süreçlerine entegre edilmesinin gelecekte örgütsel süreçlerde görev yapacak insan kaynaklarının yönetsel yetkinlik becerilerinin gelişmesine katkı sağlayacağı belirtilmektedir. Ne yazık ki, üniversitelerde verilen eğitimlerin uygulama alanlarının kısıtlı olması, öğrencilerin yönetsel yetkinlik geliştirme becerilerinin gelişmesini olumsuz olarak etkilemektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı iş simülasyonu oyunları ile eğitim verilen sınıflardaki öğrencilerin yönetsel yetkinlik algıları ile aynı programlarda öğrenim gören ve geleneksel öğretim yaklaşımlarının kullanıldığı sınıflardaki öğrencilerin yönetsel yetkinlik algıları arasındaki farklılaşma düzeylerini belirleyebilmektir. Araştırma verileri Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart Üniversitesi, Çanakkale Sosyal Bilimler Meslek Yüksekokulu bünyesinde her yıl düzenli olarak gerçekleştirilen proje çıktılarından türetilmiştir. Araştırma projesi 2016- 2017 eğitim öğretim yılı bahar yarıyılı döneminde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmada yönetim ve organizasyon bölümünde öğrenim gören ve deney grubunda iş simülasyonu eğitimi alan 59 öğrenci ile kontrol grubunda iş simülasyonu eğitimi almayan 59 öğrencinin yönetsel yetkinlik algıları karşılaştırılmıştır. Çalışmada deneysel araştırma yöntemi ve Robertson vd. (1999) tarafından uygulanan anket tekniği kullanılmıştır. Araştırma bulguları iş simülasyonu eğitimi almış olan öğrencilerin, iş simülasyonu eğitimi almamış olan öğrencilere kıyasla ekip çalışması, analitik düşünme becerisi, iletişim becerileri, gelecek odaklılık, liderlik, uzmanlaşma, yardımseverlik ve kişisel gelişim alt boyutlarında daha yüksek yönetsel yetkinlik algısına sahip olduklarını ortaya çıkarmıştır Araştırma bulguları uygulamalı eğitim süreçlerinin yönetsel yetkinlik düzeylerinin gelişmesine katkı verdiğini ortaya çıkarmıştır.

THE ROLE OF BUSINESS SIMULATION GAMES ON THE MANAGERIAL COMPETENCE DEVELOPMENT PROCESSES: AN EXAMPLE OF ÇANAKKALE ONSEKIZ MART UNIVERSITY

Business simulation games allow the understanding of the complexity of business processes and the development of managerial competencies. The integration of business simulation games into educational processes will enable to development of managerial competence skills of human resources that will work in future organizational processes. Unfortunately, universities have limited training in the area of application, this negatively affects the development of students' managerial competence development skills. The purpose of this study is to determine the level of differentiation between the perceptions of managerial competence in classrooms taught by business simulation games and the perceptions of managerial competence in the classrooms educated in the same programs where traditional teaching approaches are used. The research data was derived from the project outputs of Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University, Çanakkale Vocational School of Social Sciences. The research project was conducted in the spring semester of 2016-2017 academic year. In the research, the administrative competence perceptions of 59 students in experiment group who were trained by business simulation and 59 students in control group who were not trained by business simulation in management and organization department were compared. In the research, experimental research method and Robertson et al. (1999) survey technique were used. The findings of the research revealed that the students who had been trained by business simulation games had a higher perception of managerial competence in teamwork, analytical thinking skills, communication skills, future orientation, leadership, specialization, helpfulness and personal development sub-dimensions than who did not trained by business simulation games. Research findings revealed that applied education processes contribute to the development of managerial competence levels.
