Concomitantly, the body of research on self-leadership continues to expand. Nonetheless, relatively little work has focused on emotional self-leadership. We address this void by exploring intrapersonal and interpersonal aspects of emotional self-leadership and its inherent challenges and opportunities. Specifically, we examine how emotional self-leadership strategies can be used to shape emotional experiences, emotional authenticity, and other work-related outcomes. We offer an emotional self-leadership model, research propositions, and implications for research and practice.Article Sanal Etkileyicilerin Yükselişi: Tüketici Tutumları Üzerine Keşfedici Bir Araştırma(Alanya Akademik Bakış Dergisi, 2025) Kose, Sırın GızemPazarlama iletişiminin önemli araçlarından biri haline gelen etkileyici pazarlamada dijitalleşme ve yapay zekanın etkisiyle sanal etkileyiciler de kullanılmaya başlanmıştır.

Bu öğrencilerin sayıları, eğitim düzeyleri, bölümleri ve uyruklarına göre dağılımları Yükseköğretim Kurulu (YÖK) tarafından yayımlanan istatistiksel veriler kullanılarak ele alınmaktadır. Bu verilerin analizinde nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden biri olan genel tarama yaklaşımı kullanılmaktadır. Tarama yöntemleri, örneklem boyutunun büyük olduğu araştırmalarda sıklıkla kullanılan bir analiz yöntemi olmaktadır. Daha rasyonel sonuçlara ulaşabilmek için araştırmanın kapsamı son beş yılla sınırlandırılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgulara göre, Türkiye'deki uluslararası öğrenci sayısının her geçen yıl arttığı gözlemlenmektedir. En fazla tercih edilen öğrenim düzeyi lisans olurken, en fazla tercih edilen bölümün ise işletme bölümü olduğu görülmektedir. Bu öğrencilerin genellikle Türkiye’nin komşu ülkelerinden, Orta Doğu ve Afrika ülkelerinden geldiği, ancak öğrencilerin mezuniyet oranlarına baktığımızda ise, Avrupa’dan gelen öğrencilerin daha başarılı olduğu gözlemlenmektedir.Article Citation - WoS: 26Citation - Scopus: 39The Impact of Industry, Firm Age and Education Level on Financial Management Performance in Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (smes): Evidence From Turkey(Emerald Publishing, 2017) Karadağ, HandeSmall and medium sized enterprises are crucial for socio-economic growth, due totheir significant role in creating new workforce, GDP increase, innovation andentrepreneurship.

The aim of this research is to evaluate institutional factors of selected emerging markets with Global Entrepreneurship and Development Index data. Findings of the study indicate that Turkey has one of the lowest scores among other emerging markets for the institutional variable of staff training and also has comparably low scores in venture capital, business strategy, and technology transfer. Results of the study show that except South Korea, all the selected economies have scored low on the institutional variable of gross domestic expenditure on research and development as a percentage of the gross domestic product. The study is expected to make valuable contributions to the literature with its novel approach of using comparative Global Entrepreneurship and Development Index scores for analyzing the institutional environment and entrepreneurship relationship in emerging economies.Article The Impact of Gender and Social Capital on Entrepreneurial Intentions in University Students: Evidence From Turkey(KSP Journals, 2018) Karadağ, HandeUnderstanding the antecedents of the intention to become an entrepreneur is crucial in the development of effective entrepreneurship education and training programs. Despite the growing number of conceptual and empirical studies, the insights on the psychological factors that drive or discourage the engagement into entrepreneurial acts among university students are still limited. The current study aims to address this gap in the literature, by exploring the direct relationships between the impact of personal attitude (PA), perceived behavioral control (PBC) and subjective norms (SN) constructs of the theory of planned behavior (TPB) on entrepreneurial intention (EI). The study further investigates the existence of a potential difference with respect to gender and social capital on EI. For data collection, the entrepreneurial intention scale of Linan & Chen (2009) was used and questionnaires collected from a sample of 113 university students were analyzed through multiple regression analyses. Findings indicate that the impact of SN on EIare negative whereas PA and PBC have strong and positive associations with the intention to become an entrepreneur. Furthermore, the results of the independent t-tests show do not indicate a meaningful difference with respect to gender and social capital and entrepreneurial intention, whereas differences between departments and taking or not taking an entrepreneurship course are found to be significantly associated with EI. For theory, these findings imply that both the scale of Linan & Chen (2009) and the model of TPB are useful in predicting entrepreneurial intention for this sample. For practice, the results highlight the important role of education in choosing entrepreneurship as a career at undergraduate level whereas gender difference or having an entrepreneur in the family or close third parties is not reported to affect this decision.Article Citation - WoS: 35Covid-19 Sonrası Yükseköğretim(Deomed, 2020) Erkut, ErhanHigher education is one of the most severely impacted sectors by Covid-19. Almost all schools worldwide had to stop face-to-face education and approximately 2 billions students were forced to get their education online. This pandemic demonstrated that the Turkish higher education system was not well-prepared for a crisis of this proportion, nor was it ready for effective online teaching. High-quality online education is a fact of life now, and administrators, as well as faculty members have an important task on hand. In this opinion piece, 1 offered some ideas about improving the quality of online education, and discussed other impacts of this pandemic on higher education, along with some warnings. I believe this pandemic offers an opportunity for the outdated higher education system worldwide and the universities (and countries) that adopt quickly will be the winners.Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 13Value Integration Effects on Evaluations of Retro Brands(2017) Döğerlioğlu Demir, Kıvılcım; Akpınar, Ezgi; Tansuhaj, Patriya; Cote, JosephIn light of a growing interest in the use of retro brands, which blend modern and traditional values, this study examines the relationship between value integration (VI) of consumers (perceived degree of overlap between conflicting values) on brand related outcomes such as brand choice and brand evaluations. Three controlled experiments demonstrate that VI influences brand choice and this effect is moderated by contextual cues. Moreover, high VI consumers compared to low VI consumers evaluate retro brands more favorably. This process is explained by processing fluency. The findings of this study provide novel insights to marketers for creating successful retro brands.Article Citation - WoS: 19Citation - Scopus: 23Unethical Sales Practices in Retail Banking(Emerald, 2020) Tosun, PetekPurpose: This study examines the salesperson-driven unethical behavior toward consumers in the retail banking context. Design/methodology/approach: Consumer posts on an online social platform were analyzed using content analysis. Cluster analysis and word association analyses were conducted to analyze the posts across ethics dimensions, customer intentions and banking services. Findings: Complaints about salesperson-driven unethical behavior were classified into three clusters: disrespect, fee deception and other deception. Four themes of consumer intentions emerged from data: expecting an action regarding the staff, fixing the problem, exiting the bank, or just expressing the problem on the social platform. There was a significant difference among clusters in terms of intentions. The deception clusters had a stronger association with fixing the problem, while the disrespect cluster had a stronger association with consumers’ willingness to express their complaints and requests regarding corrective actions for the salespeople. Practical implications: Banks must differentiate their service recovery approach depending on the problem. While a refund can be more appropriate for recovering deception, a corrective action regarding misbehaving sales staff is expected by the customers for the disrespect problem. Originality/value: This study contributed to the need for current research on personal selling practices and salesperson ethics in banking services. The unethical sales practices were linked to customer intentions, and several associations were found. An unethical sales behavior framework that can be used in future research was represented.Article Citation - WoS: 43Citation - Scopus: 85Blockchain Technology and Sustainability in Supply Chains and a Closer Look at Different Industries: a Mixed Method Approach(MDPI, 2022) Güner, Elif; Ayan, Büsra; Son-Turan, SemenBackground: This study presents a comprehensive review of blockchain technology with a sustainability orientation in supply chains and logistics.
