Abstract

The increased complexity and uncertainty in the organizational envi- ronment makes organizational change an indispensable part of organizations' survival. This study suggests that organizational change is a concept that has to be examined within the dynamic conditions of the environment, under which organization operates, and proposes that learning from failures and crisis preparedness are the determinants of organizational change. In this context, the effects of learning from failures and crisis preparedness on organizational change as well as the relationship between these two variables have been empirically investigated. In order to test the research hypotheses, data collected from 155 firms have been through structural equation modeling using AMOS 4.0 software. The results of the analysis have supported the hypotheses. Lastly, the findings and managerial implications are discussed.

Özet

Örgütsel çevrenin artan karmaşıklık ve belirsizlik derecesi, değişimi örgütsel ha- yatın kaçınılmaz bir parçası haline getirmiştir. Bu çalışma, değişimin içinde bulunduğu çevrenin dinamik özellikleri açısından ele alınması gereken bir kavram olduğunu sa- vunmakta, hatalardan öğrenme ve krize hazırlıklı olma derecesinin örgütsel değişimin belirleyicileri olduğunu vurgulamaktadır. Bu kapsamda, hatalardan öğrenme ve krize hazırlıklı olmanın örgütsel değişim üzerindeki etkisi ile birlikte bu iki değişkenin kendi aralarındaki ilişki ampirik olarak test edilmiştir. Önerilen araştırma hipotezlerini test etmek için 155 firmadan toplanan veriler AMOS 4.0 programını kullanarak yapısal eşit- lik modellemesi ile analiz edilmiştir. Analiz sonuçları tüm hipotezlerin desteklendiğini göstermektedir. Son olarak bulgular tartışılarak yöneticilere öneriler sunulmuştur.
