Abstract

Amaç: Bu araştırma
öğrenen organizasyonların temel karakteristikleri ile finansal performans
arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır.

Yöntem: Araştırmada nicel araştırma
yöntemi kullanılmış, veriler yüz yüze anket yöntemi ile toplanmıştır. Araştırma
evrenini Düzce’de faaliyet gösteren tekstil işletmeleri oluşturmaktadır.
Araştırmanın gözlem birimi, tekstil işletmelerinde çalışan üst ve orta düzey
yöneticilerden oluşmaktadır. Araştırma evreni ulaşılabilir büyüklükte olduğu
için tüm yöneticilere ulaşmak hedeflenmiştir. Kuruluş yılı itibariyle 3 yılın
altında olan işletmeler ve küçük işletmeler çalışma kapsamında
değerlendirilmemiştir.  Bu eliminasyon
sonucunda toplamda 43 işletme belirlenmiş ve bu işletmelerin tamamına
ulaşılarak araştırma gerçekleştirilmiştir.

Bulgular: Bulguların elde edilmesinde;
değişkenler arasındaki ilişkileri belirlemek için korelasyon analizi
gerçekleştirilmiştir. Ayrıca araştırma sınırlarını tespit için tanımlayıcı
istatistikler, farklılık analizi için T-testi ve ANOVA testleri yapılmış, test
sonuçları yorumlanmıştır.







Sonuçlar: Sonuç olarak öğrenen
organizasyonların temel karakteristikleri ile finansal performans arasında düşük
düzeyde pozitif yönlü bir ilişki tespit edilmiştir.
