An Intersectionality Perspective of Organizational Stereotypes and Interpersonal Dynamics
(Springer, 2024) İşiaçık, Serin; Turnalar Çetinkaya, Neslihan; Turnalar-Cetinkaya, Neslihan
People have overlapping identities that impact their experiences. It is, therefore, essential to examine relationships between social identities to understand stereotypes and their effects better. The primary objective of this study was to explore perceptions of sexual orientation, age, gender, ethnicity, and stereotypical attributes of warmth and competence in a Turkish organizational context. The secondary objective was to discern coworker and manager preferences based on the intersection of these categories. A sample of 451 university students rated hypothetical work profiles. Analysis showed that Turkishness was pivotal in shaping social perceptions and workplace relationship preferences. The integration of stigmatized group categories, such as Kurdish identity, with non-stigmatized categories showed adverse impacts on preferences. The research highlights the importance of studying the interplay among diverse identity categories when analyzing social dynamics. We propose practical and theoretical implications concerning workplace diversity and discrimination.

How Managing Errors Facilitates Entrepreneurial Orientation: the Mediating Role of Ambidextrous Leadership
(Sage Publications Inc., 2022) Çetinkaya, Turnalar Neslihan,; Turnalar-Cetinkaya, Neslihan
Today’s agile and globalized markets of economies with increased complexities force organizations to be more open to new ideas, exploit those ideas, and take risks to sustain their competitive advantages (Khan et al., 2011). The demand to accommodate those particular conditions increases the inquiry of how valuable are the organizational-level entrepreneurial activities that have been conceptualized varyingly as corporate entrepreneurship, intrapreneurship, entrepreneurial posture, corporate venturing, and entrepreneurial orientation (EO) (Antoncic and Hisrich, 2003; Covin and Slevin, 1991; Lumpkin and Dess, 1996; Pinchot, 1985; Zahra et al., 1999).

Organizational Humor as Making Our Work More Meaningful: Mediation by Crafting Job Resources
(De Gruyter, 2022) Keskin, İrem N.; Turnalar Çetinkaya, Neslihan; Bora, Gamze; Gümrükçü, Şeyma; İkan, Reyhan; Turnalar-Cetinkaya, Neslihan
In the present study, we examined the impact of humor’s positive functions on the perception of a job’s meaningfulness. We argued that liberating and stress-relieving humor act as job resources enhancing job crafting to increase social and structural resources to experience meaningfulness. We hypothesized that crafting the job to increase structural and social resources would mediate the link between organizational humor functions (i.e., liberating and stress-relieving) and meaningfulness. We conducted a cross-sectional study among 200 Turkish employees from different occupations. Our results revealed that increasing structural resources mediated the relationship between liberating humor and meaningfulness, while this mediation was partially for stress-relieving humor. The mediating role of increasing social resources was partial and conditional for both types of organizational humor functions. The practical and theoretical implications have been discussed from a positive organizational scholarship perspective.

Understanding Family Dynamics and Entrepreneurship: a Grounded Theory Analysis of Opportunity-Driven Entrepreneurs in Turkey
(Springeropen, 2024) İslamoğlu, Güler; Turnalar Çetinkaya, Neslihan; Turnalar-Cetinkaya, Neslihan
There is currently limited understanding of the effects of family-related factors on entrepreneurial activity. In this study, we aimed to explore characteristics of family systems among opportunity-driven entrepreneurs using a constructivist grounded theory methodology. In-depth interviews were conducted with 10 Turkish male entrepreneurs working in the technology industry and their wives. Analysis of these 20 interviews revealed a substantive conceptual model of entrepreneurs' family systems that comprised three themes reflecting the fundamentals of family life, namely marriage, the wife, and the husband. These themes included 11 categories. Our findings offer insights into the family patterns, dynamics, and demographics of entrepreneurs that have theoretical and practical implications.
