Abstract

In the research on export performance many researchers focus on the resource-based view and analyze the effect of firm resources on firms` export performance. This is explained by the fact that firms are able to control their resources and can change their strategy accordingly. However, there is also a need to analyze the effect of both domestic and foreign environmental conditions on export performance of companies. In this study, contingency approach is utilized and two variables are determined to measure the effect of domestic market characteristics on exporting companies: export assistance programs and environmental hostility. Moreover, the moderating effect of institutional quality on these relationships is also investigated throughout the study. In the study an online questionnaire is utilized and the data is collected from exporting SMEs in the Netherlands and Turkey, which differ extensively from each other in terms of the institutional quality index. The data collection process delivered 325 usable surveys and at the end of an OLS Regression Analysis, the importance of the export assistance programs on export performance is confirmed. Moreover, the positive effect of environmental hostility on exports is found to be strengthened by the institutional quality.

Özet

İhracat performansı üzerine yapılmış çok sayıda çalışma olmakla beraber bunların çoğu kaynak bazlı yaklaşım üzerine inşa edilmiş çalışmalardır. Söz konusu çalışmalarda firmaların kaynaklarını kontrol edebilecekleri ve bu sayede stratejilerini belirleyebilecekleri öne sürülmektedir. Mevcut çalışmada ise durumsallık teorisi üzerine bir model oluşturulmuş ve firmaların içinde bulundukları çevre koşullarının ihracat performansları üzerindeki etkisi ile ilgili bir araştırma gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bu çerçevede oluşturulan modelde, “ihracat destek programları” ve “çevresel tehdit” ile “ihracat performansı” arasındaki ilişki analiz edilmiştir. Buna ek olarak, içinde bulunulan ülkenin “kurumsal kalitesinin”, yukarıda belirtilen ikili ilişki üzerindeki düzenleyici rolü de ayrıca ele alınmıştır. Veriler, kurumsal kalite endeksi yönünden birbirinden farklılaşmış iki ülke olan Hollanda ve Türkiye’deki KOBİ düzeyindeki ihracatçılardan çevrimiçi anketler vasıtasıyla toplanmış ve toplam 325 yanıt elde edilmiştir. Bu yanıtların Kısmi En Küçük Kareler Regresyon Yöntemi ile incelenmesi sonucunda ihracat destek programlarının, firmaların ihracat performansları üzerinde pozitif bir etkisinin olduğu bulunmuştur. Ayrıca kurumsal kalitenin yüksek olduğu ortamlarda çevresel tehdidin ihracat üzerindeki pozitif etkisinin güçlendiği çalışma sonunda ortaya konmuştur.
