Abstract

In this study, 'Efficiency Wage Theory," a Keynesian approach has been examined aiming to a light to discussions of determine the appropriate wage policies for Turkey. According to the efficiency wage theory, the physical health and productivity of workers are positively related to the wages paid to workers. On this basis, firms ensure that workers are healthier and more productive by paying higher wages. The efficiency wage theory is partially explanatory in the Turkish manufacturing industry for the 1963-1998 period. That is to say, wages cause productivity in a Granger sense. What this really means is that wages allow us to foresee productivity in some sectors. The results support this theory in some sectors and do not support in others.

Özet

Bu çalışmada, Türkiye için uygun ücret politikalarının nasıl olması gerektiği tartışmalarına bir ışık sunabilmek amacıyla; Keynesyen bir yaklaşım olan "Etkin Ücret Teorisi" incelenmektedir. Etkin ücret teorisine göre, işçilerin fiziksel sağlıkları ve üretkenlikleri, işgücüne ödenen ücretler ile pozitif bir ilişkiye sahiptir. Bu temelde firmalar, yüksek ücret ödeyerek, işçilerin daha sağlıklı ve daha üretken olmalarını sağlarlar. Etkin ücret teorisi, Türkiye imalat sanayiinde, 1963-1998 dönemi için, kısmi açıklayıcı bir özelliğe sahiptir. Yani ücretler verimliliğin Granger anlamında nedenselidir. Daha açık bir deyişle, bazı sektörlerde ücretler verimliliği öngörmemize olanak tanımaktadır. Sonuçların bazı sektörlerde bu teoriyi desteklediği, bazılarında ise desteklemediği anlaşılmaktadır.
