Küçükbaş hayvan yetiştiricilerinin üyelik ilişkileri ve örgütsel etkinliklerinin sosyo-ekonomik biranalizi
Abstract
Hayvancılık sektöründeki üretici örgütleri sürdürülebilir üretim ve kırsal kalkınmada önemli bir rol oynamaktadır. Yetiştiricilerin sosyo-ekonomik statüleri ile üyelik ilişkileri ve örgütsel başarı düzeyleri arasında güçlü bir ilişki bulunmaktadır. Örgütsel sorumluluk ve memnuniyet düzeyinin araştırılması ve sosyo-ekonomik statü ile sorumluluk ve memnuniyet düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkinin analizi amacıyla Hatay ilinde 38 küçükbaş hayvan yetiştiricisi ile anket çalışması yürütülmüştür. Herhangi bir örgüte üye olanların oranı %68 olarak bulunmuş, örgüte katılımı belirleyen en önemli faktörün bürokratik nedenler olduğu belirlenmiştir. “Temel”, “Genişletilmiş” ve “Toplam” sorumluluk ve memnuniyet düzeyleri sırasıyla %16, %24 ve %20; “hiç memnun değilim”, “memnun değilim” ve “hiç memnun değilim” olarak tespit edilmiştir. Toplam sorumluluk skoru ve üyelik süresi arasında pozitif bir korelasyon (p<0.05), toplam memnuniyet skoru ve sürü büyüklüğü arasında ise negatif bir korelasyon (p<0.01) bulunmuştur. Yetiştiricilerin sorumluluğunu etkileyen en önemli faktör olan eğitim düzeyi altı sorumluluk bileşeninin dördü ile ilişkiliyken (p<0.01); memnuniyeti etkileyen en önemli faktör olan sürü büyüklüğü sekiz memnuniyet bileşeninin üçü ile ilişkilidir (p<0.05). Sonuçlar, küçükbaş hayvan yetiştiricilerinin davranış biçimlerinin değiştirilmesi için eğitim programlarının düzenlenmesi gerektiğini, ayrıca bazı yönetimsel hata ve başarısızlıklarının önlenmesi veya minimize edilebilmesi için örgütün yönetim faaliyetlerinin yetiştiriciler tarafından yakın biçimde takip edilmesi gerektiğini göstermektedir

A socio-economic analysis of small ruminant breeders’ membership relations and organizational effectiveness
Abstract
Livestock Producers Organizations have played an important role in sustainable production and rural development. There is a strong relationship between breeders’ socio-economics status, membership relations, and organizational success levels. A survey was conducted in the Hatay province in Turkey with 38 small ruminant breeders to investigate organizational responsibilities and satisfaction levels, and to analyze the relationship between their socio-economic status with responsibility and satisfaction. The membership of breeders in any professional organization was found to be 68%, and the most important factor affecting participation in their organizations was bureaucratic reasons. “Basic”, “Extended”, and “Total” responsibilities of the small ruminant breeders were found to be 16%, 24%, and 20%, respectively, and satisfaction levels were “very dissatisfied”, “dissatisfied” and “very dissatisfied”, respectively. A positive correlation was found between the total responsibility score and membership period (p<0.05), and a negative correlation was found between total satisfaction score and herd size (p<0.01). Education level, the most important factor affecting breeders’ responsibility, was related to four of the six responsibility components (p<0.01); whereas herd size, the most important factor affecting breeders’ satisfaction, was related to three of the eight satisfaction components (p<0.05). These results indicated that training programs must be arranged to change the attitudes of small ruminant breeders and also management activities of the organization should be closely followed by the breeders to minimize or to prevent some of the management errors and failures
