Abstract

This research examines the role that family-friendly organizations play in helping employees balance their work and family lives through corporate policies. In modern business life, individuals' ability to simultaneously fulfill both professional and family responsibilities is critical not only for individual well-being but also for organizational performance and sustainability. Within this framework, family-friendly policies encompass practices such as flexible working hours, maternity and paternity leave, childcare support, remote work, and psychological counseling, enhancing employees' quality of life and supporting work-family balance. Drawing on theoretical foundations such as social exchange theory, perception of organizational support, employee well-being theories, and strategic human resources management, the study explains the impact of these policies on employee satisfaction, commitment, performance, and organizational legitimacy. The evaluation, conducted using the Turkish example, highlights the continuing limitations in implementation despite legal regulations and the continuing disparities between the public and private sectors. Consequently, the current study highlights the necessity and importance of making family-friendly organizational culture a strategic priority and disseminating these policies with an inclusive approach.

Özet

Bu araştırma, aile dostu örgütlerin kurumsal politikalar aracılığıyla çalışanların iş ve aile yaşamlarını dengeleme sürecinde oynadığı rolü ele almaktadır. Modern iş yaşamında bireylerin hem profesyonel hem de ailevi yükümlülüklerini eşzamanlı olarak sürdürebilmeleri, sadece bireysel refah açısından değil, esasında örgütsel performans ve sürdürülebilirlik açısından da kritik bir önem taşımaktadır. Bu çerçevede aile dostu politikalar; esnek çalışma saatleri, doğum ve babalık izinleri, çocuk bakım destekleri, uzaktan çalışma veya psikolojik danışmanlık gibi uygulamaları kapsamakta ve çalışanların yaşam kalitesini artırarak iş-aile dengesini desteklemektedir. Mevcut araştırma sosyal değişim teorisi, örgütsel destek algısı, çalışan refahı teorileri ve stratejik insan kaynakları yönetimi gibi kuramsal temellere dayanarak bu politikaların çalışan memnuniyeti, bağlılık, performans ve örgütsel meşruiyet üzerindeki etkilerini açıklamaktadır. Türkiye örneği üzerinden yapılan değerlendirmede ise yasal düzenlemelere rağmen uygulamada çeşitli sınırlılıkların bulunduğu ve kamu-özel sektör arasında farklılıkların devam ettiği vurgulanmaktadır. Sonuç olarak mevcut çalışma, aile dostu örgüt kültürünün stratejik bir öncelik haline getirilmesi ve bu yönlü politikaların kapsayıcı bir yaklaşımla yaygınlaştırılması gerekliliğine ve önemine dikkat çekmektedir.
