Özet:

 The aim of this study is to determine the perception of spirituality of business people in business life, the effect of spirituality on their success in business life and the role of spirituality in the relations of business people with both their employees and customers. In the research, phenomenological design, which is one of the qualitative study methods, was used and semi-structured questions were prepared and directed to the participants in order to reach the necessary data in line with the purposes of the research. The population of the research consists of business people in Ankara. The sample of the study consists of 10 business people, 5 women and 5 men, in the furniture, energy, education and construction business lines. In terms of educational status, 2 of the business people participating in the study are secondary school graduates, 5 are high school graduates and 3 are university graduates. By making one on one interviews with the participants, the role of spirituality on their daily activities, the decisions they make at work, their relations with their employees and customers, and their success in business life was tried to be determined. Within the scope of the research, answers were sought to the following questions: What does spirituality mean in business life? What is the role of spirituality on success in business life? What is the place of spirituality in the perspectives of their employees and customers? The one on one interviews lasted between 30 minutes and 1 hour. Before the interview, the participants were informed that the interview would be recorded and their names would be kept confidential. The recordings of the two interviews with the participants were subscribed and subjected to content analysis. The research data were first coded and then the themes were determined. Finally, the data were defined and interpreted. With these data, the effect of spirituality on success in business life has been tried to be understood. The findings of this research emphasize that spirituality plays an important role in success in business life. It has been reached that business people define spirituality as the bond established with God. It has been determined that business people attribute their success to helping other people in their lives, that is, to giving zakat, to praying under all kinds of conditions, and to surrendering to the transcendent. It was concluded that the participants believed that when they gave zakat regularly, Allah would bless their work and protect their possessions. It has also been observed that trhey have the belief that their prayers make them successful in business life and that surrendering to the transcendent after doing their best will protect them under all circumstances. In the study, it has been found that prayer worship is also a means of peace in the individual soul and is effective in exhibiting positive behaviors in social terms. It has been determined that spirituality plays an important role in the attitudes and behaviors of business people towards their customers and employees. The findings of the study can be helpful when preparing the contents of spiritual empowermentcare programs to be carried out especially for young people who lack experience in the psychology of religion. What young people lack is experience. If the spiritual elements that play an important role in the success of business people are taken into account in spiritual careempowerment programs, the program to be realized may be more beneficial. In addition, the findings of the research may be useful in studies to be carried out within the scope of organizational spirituality, especially in spiritual empowermentcare programs for managers. The importance of spiritual elements on success in business life can be shared with the managers with the spiritual care  empowerment program to be carried out by taking into account the research findings. In addition, by emphasizing the importance of spiritual elements in relations with both employees and customers, it can contribute to the strengthening of social relations in business life.

 Bu çalışmanın amacı iş hayatında iş insanlarının maneviyat algılarını, maneviyatın iş yaşamındaki başarıları üzerindeki etkisini ve iş insanlarının hem çalışanları hem de müşterileri ile olan ilişkilerinde maneviyatın rolünü tespit etmektir. Araştırmada nitel çalışma yöntemlerinden olan fenomenolojik desen kullanılmış ve araştırmanın amaçları doğrultusunda gerekli verilere ulaşmak için yarı yapılandırılmış sorular hazırlanarak, katılımcılara yöneltilmiştir. Araştırmanın evrenini Ankara ilinde bulunan iş insanları oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmanın örneklemini ise mobilya, enerji, eğitim ve inşaat iş kollarında bulunan 5i kadın ve 5i erkek olmak üzere toplam 10 iş insanı oluşturmaktadır. Eğitim durumu bakımından çalışmaya katılan iş insanlarından 2si ortaokul, 5i lise ve 3ü üniversite mezunudur. Katılımcılarla ikili görüşmeler yapılarak, onların günlük faaliyetleri, iş yerinde aldıkları kararlar, çalışanları ve müşterileri ile olan ilişkileri ve iş yaşamlarındaki başarıları üzerinde maneviyatın rolü tespit edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Araştırma kapsamında şu sorulara yanıtlar aranmaya çalışılmıştır: İş hayatında maneviyat ne anlama geliyor? İş yaşamında edinilen başarılar üzerinde maneviyatın rolü nedir? Çalışanları ve müşterilerine bakış açılarında maneviyatın yeri neresidir? Yapılan ikili görüşmeler 30 dakika ve 1 saat arasında sürmüştür. Katılımcılara, görüşme öncesi görüşmenin kayıt altına alınacağı ve isimlerinin gizli tutulacağı bildirilmiştir. Katılımcılarla gerçekleştirilen iki görüşmelerin kayıtları deşifre edilmiş ve içerik analizine tabi tutulmuştur. Araştırma verileri öncelikle kodlanmış daha sonra ise temalar tespit edilmiştir. Son olarak da verilerin tanımlanması ve yorumlanması yapılmıştır. Bu verilerle iş yaşamında yakalanan başarıların üzerinde maneviyatın etkisi anlaşılmaya çalışılmıştır. Bu araştırmanın bulguları, maneviyatın iş yaşamında ulaşılan başarılar üzerinde önemli rol oynadığını vurgulamaktadır. İş insanlarının maneviyatı, Allah ile kurulan bağ olarak tanımladıklarına ulaşılmıştır. İş insanlarının ulaştıkları başarılarını hayatlarında diğer insanlara yardım etmeye yani zekat vermeye, her türlü koşullarda dua etmelerine ve aşkın olana teslim olmalarına bağladıkları tespit edilmiştir. Katılımcıların düzenli olarak zekat verdiklerinde, Allahın işlerini bereketlendireceğine ve ellerindeki malları koruyacağına dair inançlarının olduğuna varılmıştır. Ayrıca ettikleri duaların kendilerini iş hayatında başarılı kıldığına ve ellerinden gelenin en iyisini yaptıktan sonra aşkın olana teslim olmalarının kendilerini her şartta koruyacağına dair inanca sahip oldukları gözlemlenmiştir. Çalışmada namaz ibadetinin de fert ruhunda huzura vesile olduğu ve sosyal açıdan da olumlu davranışlar sergilemede etkili olduğuna ulaşılmıştır. İş insanlarının müşterilerine ve çalışanlarına olan tutum, davranışlarında maneviyatın önemli rol oynadığı saptanmıştır. Araştırmanın bulguları din psikolojisinde özellikle tecrübeden yoksun gençlere yönelik gerçekleştirilecek manevi güçlenmebakım programlarının içerikleri hazırlanırken yardımcı olabilir. Gençlerin en çok ihtiyaç duyduğu ve de eksik olan yanları tecrübedir. İş insanlarının başarılarında önemli rol oynayan manevi unsurlar manevi bakımgüçlenme programlarının içerisinde dikkate alınırsa, gerçekleştirilecek olan program daha faydalı olabilir. Ayrıca örgütsel maneviyat kapsamında gerçekleştirilecek çalışmalarda da özellikle de yöneticilere yönelik manevi güçlenmebakım programlarında araştırmanın bulguları yararlı olabilir. Araştırma bulgularının dikkate alınarak gerçekleştirilecek manevi bakımgüçlenme programı ile iş yaşamında başarı üzerinde manevi unsurların önemi yöneticilerle paylaşılabilir. Ayrıca manevi unsurların hem çalışanlarla hem de müşterilerle olan ilişkilerde önemi vurgulanarak, iş yaşamında sosyal ilişkilerin güçlendirilmesine katkısı sağlanabilir.
