Özet

Bu çalışma yerel yönetim yapılanmalarından birisi olan Uşak Belediyesinin hedef kitlede olumlu bir örgütsel imaj oluşturabilmesi bakımından örgütsel sosyal medya platformu olan resmi ve onaylı X hesabının kullanım şekli irdelenerek bu araç üzerinden yapmış olduğu paylaşımların ne denli önem arz ettiğini ortaya koymak ve bu platformun belediyenin örgütsel imajına etkilerini analiz etmek amacıyla hazırlanmıştır. Nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden biri olan betimsel analiz yöntemi kullanılarak Uşak Belediyesinin 01.01.2024-31.01.2024 tarihleri arasında örgütsel iletişimde aktif olarak kullanmış olduğu resmi ve onaylı X hesabından paylaşmış olduğu gönderiler yükleme tarihlerine göre analiz edilmiş, tüm gönderiler kategorize edilerek yorumlanmış ve görsel-duysal içerikler incelenmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda elde edilen bulgulara göre Uşak Belediyesinin sosyal medya platformunu örgütsel iletişimde aktif olarak kullandığı ancak sosyal medyayı uzmanca yönetemediği, tek yönlü bir iletişim şeklinin olduğu, hedef kitleden geri bildirim almada yetersiz olduğu ve sosyal medya platformu üzerinden olumlu bir örgütsel imaj yönetimi gerçekleştirmede yetersiz olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
