Öğe Can moral identity mitigate the harmful effects of organisational cynicism?(Inderscience Publishers, 2021) Arslan, Aykut; Demirtas, Özgür; Yener, SerdarThe aim of this study is to reveal that moral identity at work may reduce the harmful effects of cynicism by acting as a buffer and may also reduce time theft, which is one of the deviant behaviours towards the organisation that is potentially attributable to organisational injustice. A data collection procedure was carried out through face-to-face interviews with 339 full-time personnel from organisations which are operating in the manufacturing industry in Kayseri (one of the most industrialised cities in Turkey). The research results have been found to be supportive of the hypotheses developed, which is that organisational justice was identified as having a negative effect on time theft. Additionally, it was found that cynicism plays a mediating role in the relationship between organisational justice and time theft and that moral identity has a moderating impact, as expected. © 2021 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd..

Our sample consists of Turkish female high school senior students living in Turkiye's Western Region. We conducted two rounds of questionnaires sent out in 4-week intervals. Female role stress, over-parenting, and parents' maximizing tendencies positively and significantly predicted career indecisions of daughters while conformity to feminine norms was predicted negatively and significantly. Overall, parents' maximizing tendencies had an impact on their daughters maximizing tendencies.Öğe Caught Unprepared: Consequences of Getting Full Online During a Pandemic(Editura Lumen, 2022) Arslan, Aykut; Yener, Serdar; Korkmaz, Fatma; Alola, Uju VioletAlthough the concept of remote working is not new, and it has been in use for a while, billions of people and workplaces were caught in surprise during the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to full-scale lockdowns people got stuck with their family members. And in a very short time they were expected to set up home-offices and continue working. Balancing family relations with daily work schedule was hard for many. Drawing on a sample of instructors, this study investigates how people felt and dealt with it. Homogeneous purposive sampling technique was employed. The authors contacted with people from their network and asked them to fill in the online questionnaires. The people contacted also help to reach others in their network and consequently a total of 435 people participated. Most of the sample is comprised of university instructors (44.4%); followed by secondary school (22.8%), primary school (18.6%), and high school teachers (14.3%). We developed a theoretical model based on boundary theory and study the relationships among eWork-Life interferences with technostress and psychological well-being. The results supported our hypotheses and we found that timely IT assistance might decrease the felt technostress. Implications and further study suggestions are made accordingly. © 2022, Editura Lumen.

However, more recently, the effect of CSR activities on individual variables (microeconomic indicators) has begun to attract attention. Although CSR itself is founded on the moral roots of the society in which it operates, it seems that the effect of individuals' moral attentiveness has been neglected. The CSR effect, which is the focus of this study, is examined using three dimensions to understand how CSR can directly and indirectly affect the organizational commitment of employees. A theoretical model is developed in this paper, the focus of which is on the ethical framework of CSR and the proposition that it may have an effect on employees. The sample comprises individuals working in two of the country's most important private production facilities in the western capital of Turkey. An online questionnaire form was prepared and shared. The online form was active between 2 March 2020 and 11 May 2020. Out of 472 forms, 465 were usable and, therefore, used in the analyses. We found proof for most of our assertions. Implications and future research suggestions are discussed.Öğe How Does Work-Life Balance Affect the Leadership Effectiveness of Women Employees, and What Are the Roles of Motivation to Lead And Organizational Support in This Relationship?(Nova Science Publishers, Inc., 2024) Yener, Serdar; Arslan, Aykut; Rocha, Helena BelchiorThe aim of this study was to investigate the moderation role of organizational support and the mediation role of motivation to lead on the relationship between work-life balance and leadership effectiveness. The study aimed to test this model empirically by collecting and analyzing data from 250 women employees working in various sectors in Turkey. In this study it is found that work-life balance has a positive effect on both motivations to lead and leadership effectiveness, that motivation to lead mediates the effect of work-life balance on leadership effectiveness, and that organizational support moderates the effect of work-life balance on leadership effectiveness. The study also expected to find that these effects are consistent with self-determination theory, meaning that work-life balance, motivation to lead, organizational support and leadership effectiveness are related to the satisfaction of the needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness among women employees. © 2024 by Nova Science Publishers, Inc.Öğe I LIKE MY LEADER; NOT YOURS!(Babes-Bolyai Univ, 2020) Arslan, Aykut; Yener, SerdarOrganizations depend on the output of their employees to attain their organizational goals through sustainable competitive advantage. Individuals' outcomes are an indicator of this. Thus, contextual factors may be directly or indirectly related to employee performance. One of these factors is leader-follower cultural fit. Considering that a leader can also shape the organizational culture, the fit between the leader's and his/her followers' values can be transformed into a high-performance outcome. Since personal values are shaped by one's culture of origin, employees who observe, assess, and judge their leader according to their own values reflect on how congruent their perceived values are with those of their leader and act accordingly. By utilizing convenience sampling procedures, this research surveyed 202 full-time employees working in public institutions and organizations in Istanbul and its districts. The theoretical model was tested by moderated mediation analyses based on bootstrap methods. The research results revealed the collectivist traits of the region under analysis and indicate that individualistic tendencies may also be present. We found support to our theoretical model.Öğe Leadership strategies for managing technostress(IGI Global, 2024) Yener, Serdar; Arslan, Aykut; Rocha, Helena BelcihorThis chapter aims to provide a detailed and comprehensive analysis of the concept of technostress.

The study investigated leading political skills as second-level regulatory variables in connection to leader effectiveness and trust with the purpose of testing a cross-level moderated mediation model within a traditionally collectivist culture like Turkey in efforts to contextualize and expand understanding of leadership prototype perception.Methods A total of 442 service sector employees and 28 executive managers were interviewed. Two surveys in two separate time periods were conducted. Multilevel path analysis was used to evaluate the hypotheses.Results The findings suggest that there is a strong and significant impact of leader prototypicality on leadership effectiveness and a direct impact on trust. Results indicate that leaders who are trusted by their subordinates are perceived as more effective in their leadership roles. Lower levels of trust from subordinates are negatively associated with leader effectiveness.Conclusion If leaders cannot provide their followers a contextualized sense of empowerment and development, they are perceived to not provide high levels of emotional trust. Therefore, there is greater need for multilevel contextualized studies taking account of collective, two-sided, embedded experiences within groups.Öğe Relationship Between the Motivational Language of School Administrators and Tacit Knowledge Sharing of Teachers(Igi Global, 2017) Yener, Serdar; Arslan, AykutThis chapter investigates motivational language of school administrators and its effect on tacit knowledge sharing - which may hold vital and critical importance - by teachers at schools. While doing this, the contextual factors regarding organisational culture, such as the employee voice and perceived psychological safety are also taken into consideration. It is expected that the use of a motivational language by administrators that reduces uncertainty and helps create understanding and empathy, and which thus forms a positive environment that increase employee voice, will also have an effect on tacit knowledge sharing. Additionally, the effect of motivational language can be enhanced through psychological safety perceived by the employees, which in turn is dependent on the work environment. As such, a higher perception of psychological safety will tend to increase employee voice and the level tacit knowledge sharing. Finally, implications for knowledge literature and suggestions for future studies are also discussed.Öğe The mediating role of temperament and character on the relationship between mindfulness and entrepreneurial personality(Nomos Verlagsgesellschaft Mbh & Co Kg, 2018) Yener, Serdar; Arslan, Aykut; Demirtas, OzgurThe number of studies investigating the concept of entrepreneurship has increased in recent years, with efforts now focusing on using different disciplines and models to gain an understanding of its characteristics such as personality, psychology, and biological features being of particular interest. Within this context, this study seeks answers whether both the personality and psychology variables affected entrepreneurship. A group of entrepreneurs (n=197) from the Turkish city of Konya, a city renowned for the dynamism of its SMEs (Small- and Medium-Sized Enterprises), is used as the study sample. The results indicate that the full model explains 63% of the variance: yet, only temperament seems to mediate this relationship but not the character.Öğe The moderating roles of technological self-efficacy and time management in the technostress and employee performance relationship through burnout(Emerald Group Publishing Ltd, 2021) Yener, Serdar; Arslan, Aykut; Kilinc, SebahattinPurpose The ongoing dispute as to whether using technology extensively at work may cause harm continues to gain momentum. Thus, the need for more research on the harmful effect of using technology at work and on the indirect effects on work performance is needed. The call for additional moderators in technostress research is still ongoing. The research contributes to the abovementioned gaps in the literature by analyzing a model with two moderators. Design/methodology/approach The sample population was chosen randomly from the lists provided by civil-servant unions and the chamber of commerce subsidiaries in the northwest region of Turkey. The employees received letters that explained the purpose of the study; the questionnaires sent to them. Out of 500 forms, 328 were returned. PLS-SEM technique was selected for hypothesis testing. Findings The results revealed support for all the hypotheses, and proposed moderators can be used to mitigate the harms of technostress and burnout. The findings have implications for both theory and practice. Research limitations/implications The limitation of this research is its sample characteristics. Due to the cross-sectional nature of the data set, it is difficult to claim causality. Therefore, readers should use caution when extending generalizations to a broader population. As for the theoretical implications, the interest in the challenges posed by various technologies in the workplace on human psychology and health over the long term is quite new. And there is still room for other mediating and moderating mechanism for the interplay between technostress and related outcomes. Practical implications One of the practical implications is that technology at work might have the potential to create stress, sometimes greater than its benefits. The effects that might be created by other sources of stress when combined with stress related to technology in the workplace should also be taken seriously. There are tools to reduce the harm caused by technostress that practitioners could make use of such as time-management interventions. Originality/value The dispute whether using technology extensively at work may cause harm rather than advantage continues to confuse people, and with time it is gaining momentum. Thus, there is necessity for more research on the harms of technology, and especially on the indirect effects on work performance. Second, the vast technostress literature seems to neglect to discern task performance from contextual one as the dependent variable. Lastly, the call for additional moderators in technostress research is still prevailing. The research contributes to the abovementioned gaps in the literature by analyzing a model with two moderators.Öğe Understanding Career Adapt Abilities, Career Stress, Work Stress, Career Regret, Job Satisfaction Among Nursing Professionals(Wiley, 2024) Akturan, Abdulkadir; Arslan, Aykut; Yener, Serdar; Kilinc, SebahattinAimThis study aims to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the interrelationships among career stress, work stress, career regret, job satisfaction and career adapt abilities within the nursing profession.DesignThe research involved a sample of 576 nurses from ten urban hospitals, distributed across five distinct cities in Turkiye, between December 2023 and January 2024.

Along with financial damages for businesses and content creators, this phenomenon has legal repercussions for individuals involved in piracy and cybersecurity issues. The effective fight against digital piracy depends on an awareness of the drivers and hazards connected with this illegal activity. With an eye towards a thorough knowledge of this intricate problem, in this study, the focus centers on the reasons, attitudes, and actions behind digital piracy. Through examining how people defend their behavior in particular situations, in this study, the aim is to clarify the ethical issues and decision-making procedures related to piracy-even among otherwise law-abiding people. Combining a variety of the relevant literature and ideas, including situation ethics theory, in this study, we seek to provide insights for legislators, business players, and academics eager to meet the difficulties presented by digital piracy. This study adds to the continuous discussion on lessening the detrimental effects of digital piracy on content creators, businesses, and cybersecurity by looking at the underlying reasons for piracy and supporting legal access to material. Along with a dearth of research on the origins and moral questions of digital piracy, there is a lot of contradictory material. By examining the factors behind this unlawful activity, clarifying the complex dynamics involved, and offering understanding of the causes of digital piracy, this study seeks to close a significant void in the knowledge. The findings of this study will enable individuals to develop strategies for handling this prevalent issue in the digital era. Developing successful interventions that can reduce this illegal conduct and safeguard the interests of content producers, businesses, and cybersecurity overall depends on an awareness of the reasons behind digital piracy. This study advances the knowledge of the difficulties presented by this global phenomenon by investigating the ethical issues and decision-making procedures related to digital piracy.Öğe Women entrepreneurs in Turkey: The empirical analysis of microcredit applications and economic growth relations(IGI Global, 2023) Yener, Serdar; Arslan, Aykut; Kop, Ayşegül EdaWomen entrepreneurship is explained by the women-owned business that create economic value. Since there are potential differences between men and women entrepreneurships, this study aims to provide a detailed analysis of how micro-credits help women entrepreneurship in development and economic growth. The data used for this research is obtained from Grameen Microfinance and Statistical Institute. The obtained data is analysed to examine the relationship between women entrepreneurships and economic development.
