Kurumsal yönetişim ve kurumsal sosyal sorumluluğun örgütsel öğrenme yoluyla rekabet avantajı üzerindeki etkisi

Abstract

In this thesis, the researcher proposes four relationship paths; the effect of corporate governance on competitive advantage; the effect of corporate social responsibility on competitive advantage; the mediating effect of organizational learning on the two above relationships. In order to evaluate the relationships, the researcher used a quantitative research method in which a questionnaire is designed based on previous studies. The questionnaire included 67 Likert scale items and distributed to 325 top and middle managers working at Jordanian industrial companies registered on ASE. Data is analyzed using SPSS. The results show that all factors of corporate governance significantly impact the competitive advantage. In contrast, the results show that only two dimensions of corporate social responsibility (public, customer, and employee orientation, and fair operation) significantly impact competitive advantage. Moreover, the data analysis found that organizational learning partially mediates the relationship between corporate governance and competitive advantage. On the other hand, it has been found that organizational learning mediates the impact of two dimensions of corporate social responsibility (public, customer, and employee orientation, and fair operation) on competitive advantage. The originality of this study resides on the mediating impact of organizational learning, specifically between corporate governance and competitive advantage. Based on the results, The researcher made some recommendations to managements in which using organizational learning vii capabilities can enhance the influence of corporate governance on taking advantage of corporate resources.
