Özet

Günümüzde, işletmelerin teknolojik gelişmeler ve değişen çevre koşulları karşısında sürdürülebilirliği sağlamasında, daha yenilikçi, öğrenme odaklı ve girişimci olmaları önemlidir. Başarılı işletmelerin örgütsel düzeyde edindikleri öğrenme alışkanlıkları ve girişimsel yetenekleri sayesinde, yüksek inovasyon düzeyine ulaştıkları görülmektedir. Literatür çalışmaları, inovasyonla ilgili değişimi sağlamada, en uyumlu liderlik tipinin "dönüştürücü liderlik tarzı" olduğunu belirtmektedir. Makalenin amacı, işletmenin inovasyon performansının arttırılmasında, örgütün girişim ve öğrenme odaklılığı ile yöneticilerin dönüştürücü liderlik tarzının etkilerini açıklamaktır. Saha araştırması, teknoparklarda faaliyet gösteren 120 işletmede görev yapan 239 yönetici ve eşit sayıda personelin katılımıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda, girişim ve öğrenme odaklılığın, inovasyon performansı üzerinde doğrudan ve anlamlı etkisi olduğu görülmüştür. Makale, teknopark firma yöneticilerinin dönüştürücü liderlik tarzı sergilemesi ve girişimci ve öğrenme odaklı süreçleri geliştirmeleri sayesinde, inovasyon performans düzeyinin artabileceğini göstermektedir.
