Çevresel ve Sosyal Duyarlılığın Kurumsal İtibara Etkisi

Öz:
Çevresel ve sosyal girişimlerde bulunma, işletmelerin sosyal imajlarının korunmasına, kurumsal itibarlarının artmasına ve itibar risklerinin de azalmasına neden olmaktadır. Kurumsal itibar, işletmeler ve paydaşları arasındaki iletişimin bir parçasıdır. İşletmelerin paydaşları ile kıymetli ve kalıcı bir ortaklık oluşturması, sürdürülebilir rekabet avantajı geliştirmede işletmeler için stratejik bir avantaj yaratmaktadır. İşletmelerin paydaşlarıyla ilişkilerini yönetebilmesi kurumsal itibarlarını olumlu yönde etkilemektedir. Bu bağlamda çalışmada, Afyonkarahisar’da faaliyet gösteren kamu hastanelerinin çevresel ve sosyal konulara duyarlılığı, kurumsal itibarın tarafı olan paydaşların gözünden değerlendirilerek, duyarlılığın kurumsal itibar üzerindeki etkisinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Anket ile elde edilen veriler için betimleyici, varyans, korelasyon ve regresyon analizleri uygulanmıştır. Analizler sonucunda, araştırma yapılan hastanelerde paydaşların, Afyonkarahisar’daki devlet ve üniversite hastanelerinden oluşan kamu hastanelerine yönelik çevresel ve sosyal duyarlılığa ve kurumsal itibara ilişkin genel görüşlerinin orta düzeyin altında olumsuz olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
