Özet

The aim of this study is to determine the Turkish Work Mentality values at the organizational level by using the Turkish Work Mentality Profile (TWMP). TWMP profile depends on the historical dilemma of the Turkish work mentality between western and local values. Results of the factor analysis shows that Turkish work mentality consists of a mixture of western values and local values (status-oriented, mystic and hypocrite). This result confirms the main assumption of dilemmatic structure of Turkish work mentality and is consistent with the previous study of TWMP at the regional level (Aldemir et al.,2003).
