SPONTANE İZOMORFİZM PERSPEKTİFİNDEN BAKAN YARDIMCILIĞI VE MÜSTEŞARLIK POZİSYONLARININ KARŞILAŞTIRMALI OLARAK DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ: TÜRKİYE ÖRNEĞİ

Abstract

While public sector organizations often appear to deconstruct commercial firms and nonprofits, government agencies themselves have only occasionally been studied as subjects of institutional pressures. This study aims to examine the Presidential Government System, its applications based on institutional isomorphism theory, by dealing with coercive isomorphism, mimetic processes and normative pressures and to find a suitable adaptation model for the ‘deputy minister’ by considering the changing ministerial administrative practices in Turkey and used a qualitative approach in its methodology. Consequently, ‘neither mimetic, normative isomorphism nor coercive isomorphism is sufficient to model’ the deputy minister. Rather, the concept of ‘spontaneous isomorphism’ (Sağsan et al., 2011) was used in the study.
