【 摘 要 】

This paper examines the quality ofmanagement practices in Turkey and its relation to otherfirm-level characteristics such as firm performance,competition, and type of ownership. A key finding is thatmanagement quality is positively correlated withproductivity and quality of jobs across subsectors ofmanufacturing. But the average score of management qualityin Turkey is relatively low compared to peer countries.Factors such as firm size, level of human capital of theworkforce, export intensity of the firm, openness tointernational markets, level of hierarchy in decisionmaking, and degree of managerial autonomy are found to beimportant determinants of managerial practices in Turkey.Thus, improvements in these dimensions, through relevantpolicies and incentives, can have a positive effect on thequality of firm management going forward.Such improvementsin management practices—particularly in the two dimensionswhereTurkey scores lowest: monitoring and targeting—can havepositive effects on firmperformance and lead to increases inthe creation of quality jobs.
