Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 4The Impact of a Failed Coup D’état on Happiness, Life Satisfaction, and Trust: the Case of the Plot in Turkey on July 15, 2016(Taylor & Francis, 2019-10-28) Niimi, Yoko; Horioka, Charles Yuji; Akkemik, K. Ali; Çiçek,GerçekThis paper examines the impact of the failed coup d’état attempt in Turkey on 15 July 2016 on people’s happiness, life satisfaction, and trust and finds that the plot had a significant negative effect on all three variables. This paper is the first to show that coups d’état can have a significant adverse effect on people’s well-being, as in the case of terrorist attacks.Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 10Introduction To the Special Issue: the Leadership Imperative for Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility(Elsevier Science Inc, 2015-04-01) Pearce, Craig L.; Stahl, Guenter K.The world is at a tipping point. We are simultaneously on the edge of unprecedented wealth creation and catastrophic implosion, as a result of many geopolitical forces. On the one hand, the financial crisis precipitated mainly by events in the United States, and the ripple effects throughout Europe and the rest of the world are slowly coming under control. Yet, at the same time, much of the world is restive. Sub- Saharan Africa, particularly Nigeria, Niger, Cameron and Chad, are in de facto war with extremists intent on returning the region to the Stone Age. The same is true in Syria and the region around it, as we see various groups struggle for complete domination. In Eurasia, Russia has invaded, or threatened to invade multiple of its neighbors (e.g., Estonia, Georgia, Mol-dova, Ukraine). The Taliban is resurging, threatening peace and tranquility in but another beleaguered region.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 8Where Do We Go From Here? Is Responsibility Sustainable?(Elsevier Science Inc, 2015-04-01) Wegge, Juergen; Pearce, Craig L.In this special issue we have brought together a veritable ‘‘dream team’’ of thought leaders, and rising stars, from academia, consulting and the c-suite to address the ‘‘Leadership Imperative for Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility.’’ Clearly, the decisions and actions of individual leaders matter to the social performance and long-term viability of their organizations. Ultimately, activities such as formulating sustainability policies, engaging in community outreach programs, supporting social causes, or seeking alternatives to disruptive layoffs are the result of managerial decisions, and so are activities that are widely considered unethical, such as bribery, fraud, environmental pollution, and employment discrimination. While corporate executives are constrained in their ability to engage in these activities by corporate governance regulations, company policies, and the law, they have some degree of discretion in their choices. David Waldman, a noted leadership scholar, put it succinctly:‘‘Firms do not make decisions pertaining to responsibility or CSR; leaders do."Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 3Developmental Health Services Leadership: Integrating Hierarchical and Shared Leadership for Health Services Organizational Learning(SAGE Publications Ltd, 2015-08-01) Pearce, Craig L.The purpose of this article is to articulate a model of, as well as a call to action for, health services leadership, with a particular emphasis on the role of health services leadership in organizational learning. More specifically, I articulate a model that poses two antecedents of health services hierarchical leadership-leader responsibility disposition and environmental cues-as important predictors of empowering leadership. In turn, I assert that empowering leadership from above will engender an inclination toward shared leadership among followers. Subsequently, I venture that both empowering hierarchical leadership and shared leadership are precursors of health services organizational learning. I specify several research directions for future scholarship. More importantly, I identify multiple measures that policy makers and practitioners can take to enhance health services leadership and organizational learning.Article Citation - WoS: 21Citation - Scopus: 21Testing for Systemic Risk Using Stock Returns(Springer, 2016-05-26) Kupiec, Paul; Güntay, LeventThe literature proposes several stock return-based measures of systemic risk but does not include a classical hypothesis tests for detecting systemic risk. Using a joint null hypothesis of Gaussian returns and the absence of systemic risk, we develop a hypothesis test statistic to detect systemic risk in stock returns data. We apply our tests on conditional value-at-risk (CoVaR) and marginal expected shortfall (MES) estimates of the 50 largest US financial institutions using daily stock return data between 2006 and 2007. The CoVaR test identifies only one institution as systemically important while the MES test identifies 27 firms including some of the financial institutions that experienced distress in the past financial crisis. We perform a simulation analysis to assess the reliability of our proposed test statistics and find that our hypothesis tests have weak power, especially tests using CoVaR. We trace the power issue to the inherent variability of the nonparametric CoVaR and MES estimators that have been proposed in the literature. These estimators have large standard errors that increase as the tail dependence in stock returns strengthens.Article Citation - WoS: 33Citation - Scopus: 44Lean, Green and Clean? Sustainability Reporting in the Logistics Sector(MDPI, 2019-01-09) Lambrechts, Wim; Semeijn, Janjaap; Son-Turan, Semen; Reis, LucindaTransport and logistics activities contribute heavily to global sustainability problems, yet the implementation of corporate social responsibility and sustainability reporting in the sector lags behind. This paper aims to analyze sustainability reporting in the logistics sector, with focus on environmental, social and economic indicators. An extensive operationalization of sustainability indicators is used to examine and analyze the sustainability reports of 52 organizations in the logistics sector worldwide. Results show that the sector does not agree on the materiality of sustainability indicators. Furthermore, sustainability reporting seems to be incompatible with daily operations, leading to obscurity in reports. This contrast, between the necessary existence of organizations in the logistics sector and their undesirable environmental and social effects, calls for future research into how organizations are coping with this paradox. A viable way forward is needed in order to ensure materiality in the sectors’ efforts toward sustainability reporting.Article Citation - WoS: 29Citation - Scopus: 41The Impact of Industry, Firm Age and Education Level on Financial Management Performance in Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (smes): Evidence From Turkey(Emerald Publishing, 2017-09-04) 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 data used in the study is collected from 188 smalland medium-sized enterprises through structured questionnaires and threehypotheses regarding the associations are tested by using structural equationmodeling. Findings of one-way ANOVA tests indicate that performance in financialmanagement practices has a strong and positive correlation with education level ofsmall business owner/managers, whereas no significant difference is found regardingSMEs operating in different industries. For the impact of company age, independentsamples T-test is conducted and a meaningful difference between small andmedium sized companies which are five years or older and younger is found.Article Citation - WoS: 17Citation - Scopus: 24Cash, Receivables and Inventory Management Practices in Small Enterprises: Their Associations With Financial Performance and Competitiveness(Taylor & Francis, 2018-01-02) Karadağ, HandeThis article examines cash, receivables and inventory management in small businesses and their associations with financial performance and competitiveness. The data used in the study is collected from 188 small and medium-sized enterprises through structured questionnaires and four hypotheses are tested by using structural equation modelling (SEM). Findings of the regression analyses show that the higher degree of conduct of receivables and cash management practices is positively associated with financial performance while a weaker degree of association is found for inventory management practices. The results also indicate a significantly strong positive correlation between financial performance and business competitiveness. The study aims to contribute to both financial management and small business management literatures with its focus on working capital management practices and competitiveness associations through improved financial performance and offers valuable implications to small business owner/managers and regulators, by proposing financial performance as a crucial factor that enhances competitiveness in small businesses.
