The posıtıve and negatıve effects of crısıs on organızatıons: An applıcatıon

Abstract

The aim of this research is, to develop a scale that could evaluate the positive and negative effects of crisis on organizations, to determine the corelations between subscales of developed scale and determine the differences according to demographical qualifications. Research executed in the year 2010 in Malatyas’ Organized Industry Region (OIR) with the participation of 97 organizations. As a result of explanatory factor analysis we found that the scale that measured the positive effects of crisis consisted of three factors and ten items and the scale that measured negative effects of crisis consisted of two factors and nine items. We named the factors in positive effects of crisis as “Organizational Change Effect”, “Potential Revealing Effect”, “Organizational Learning Effect” and we named the factors of negative effects as, “Effect of Reducing The Efficiency and Productivity”, “Effect of Causing Managerial Problems”. Item-total correlations and differences between lower and upper 27% of groups were found high. Under these circumstances, results proved us that sturucture and reliability of scale were sufficient. Corelations between subscales were found sufficient.
