Yöneticilerin Örgüt Kültürü Algılamalarına İlişkin Analiz: Zonguldak Karaelmas Üniversitesi Örneği

Pozitif örgüt kültürü, örgütteki yaygın değerlerin, inançların ve davranışların örgüte ve örgüt çalışanlarına doğru yolu göstermesi anlamına gelmektedir. Pozitif kültürel değerler çalışanların çoğu tarafından benimsenmekte ise bu durumda güçlü pozitif kültürlerden bahsedilmektedir. Örgüt kültürü ile ilgili olarak geliştirilmiş olan tipolojiler ise kültürleri anlamak, yorumlamak ve gerekli hallerde örgütlere yol gösterici olmak açısından oldukça yararlıdır. Bu çalışmada Zonguldak Karaelmas Üniversitesi’nin örgüt kültürü incelenmiştir. 2005-2006 eğitim ve öğretim yılında toplanan 131 anketin yorumlanmasıyla, kurumun pozitif kültüre ve rekabetçi değerler yaklaşımı uyarınca geliştirilen tipolojiler açısından da sağlıklı bir örgüt kültürüne sahip olduğu tespit edilmiştir

An Analysis of the Managers' Perceptions About Organizational Culture: The Case of Zonguldak Karaelmas University

Positive organizational culture means that the pervasive values, beliefs and behaviors in the organization show the right direction to the corporation and to the staff. If the positive cultural values are adopted by most of the employees, then strong positive cultures appear. On the other hand, the typologies improved by the academicians help us to understand, interpret and guide the organizations if required. In this study, Zonguldak Karaelmas University’s organizational culture has been examined. By analyzing 131 surveys for the 2005-2006 school year, it is found that the organization has positive organizational culture and the organizational culture is healthy enough to bring up fresh minds in accordance with the typologies improved by the competing values framework.
