Innovative Work Behavior in the Energy Sector by Fuzzy VIKOR Method

Abstract

The aim of this study is to analyze the innovative working behavior of the energy industry. Within this framework, 10 different energy companies in Turkey were included in the scope of the review. As a result of the literature review, five different criteria that could affect the performance of innovative working behavior of the energy companies were determined. The fuzzy VIKOR method has been taken into account in the performance ranking process of these companies. According to the results obtained, both private and foreign energy companies were in the first two and last two. The findings show that no company type has superiority over others in terms of innovative working behavior. Hence, it is important that the energy companies, which are in the last place, develop themselves by taking into account the criteria mentioned in this study.
