VİZYON VE ROL AÇIKLIĞININ TAKIM PERFORMANSI ÜZERİNDEKİ ETKİSİ

Vizyon ve rol açıklığının organizasyonel düzeydeki önemine vurgu yapan bir çok araştırma yapılmakla birlikte, vizyon ve rol açıklığının takım performansı üzerindeki etkisiyle ilgili olarak yeterince çalışmanın yapılmadığı görülmektedir. Güçlü bir vizyon ve rol tanımı, takıma yön verebilir ve takımın performansını pozitif etkileyebilir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, vizyonun boyutlarının ve rol açıklığının önemini tartışmak ve onların takım performansı üzerindeki etkisini araştırmaktır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda, vizyonun boyutları üç şirkette (Apple, IBM, HP) bulunan dokuz inovasyon takımı üzerinde araştırıldıktan sonra, vizyonun iki boyutu (vizyonun açıklığı ve vizyona destek) ve rol açıklığının takım performansı üzerindeki etkisi ampirik olarak araştırılmıştır. Veriler 75 takım üyesinden toplanmıştır. Analizler sonucunda, vizyon açıklığının takım performansı üzerinde anlamlı ve pozitif bir etkiye sahip olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bununla birlikte vizyona desteğin ve rol açıklığının takım performansı üzerinde anlamlı bir etkiye sahip olmadığı tespit edilmiştir

THE EFFECT OF VISION AND ROLE CLARITY ON TEAM PERFOR

Although many studies conclude that vision and role clarity are important at the organizational level, the impacts of vision and role clarity on innovation/teams have received far less attention. A strong vision and role definition can provide direction to a team and can positively impact its ability to succeed. The purpose of this research is to discuss vision components and Role Clarity, and explore their impacts on team performance. After studying the vision on a series of nine innovation teams at three companies (Apple, IBM, and HP), we empirically tested the impact of the two components of vision (Vision Clarity, and Vision Support) and Role Clarity on overall team performance. Data were collected from 75 team members. We found that Vision Clarity has a positive effect on team performance. We also found that, Vision Support and Role Clarity are not significantly related to team performance
