Özet:

The purpose of this study is to determine the dimensions of organizational health and organizational effectiveness in four and five star hotels in the city of İzmir and the relationship between organizational health dimensions and organizational effectiveness. To measure organizational health, dimensions developed by Lyden and Klingele (2000) and to measure organizational effectiveness, dimensions developed by Quin and Rohrbaugh (1981, 1983) were employed. In order to achieve the validity of measurement models and the consistency of the proposed model showing the relationship between organizational health dimensions and organizational effectiveness, a confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling were performed. In an overall measurement models, the adequacy and the reliability of indicators were proved by measuring the composite reliability, the estimated percentage of variance extracted by each construct, discriminant and convergent validity. The results of DFA confirmed the seven dimensional nature of the organizational health and the nine dimensional nature of the organizational effectiveness. “Loyalty and morale, institutional reputation and ethics, development and resource utilization" dimensions were found to be effective in predicting organizational effectiveness in consequence of testing the structural equation model 1. As a result of the findings obtained from the proposed models in order to test the relationship between organizational health dimensions and organizational effectiveness dimensions, “development and resource utilization” dimension was determined as the reference dimension to predict organizational effectiveness. In addition, the findings indicated that “communication” dimension does not explain any dimension of organizational effectiveness.
