Article Citation - WoS: 35Citation - Scopus: 48Sustainability Disclosure in Higher Education: a Comparative Analysis of Reports and Websites of Public and Private Universities in Turkey(Emerald Group Publishing Ltd., 2019-11-04) Son Turan, Semen; Lambrechts, Wim; Son-Turan, SemenPurpose : The purpose of this paper is to explain the extent and content of the sustainability disclosure of public and foundation (private but not-for-profit) universities in Turkey. Design/methodology/approach : Subsequent to a systematic literature review of six academic databases and the National Thesis Center, a content analysis using a combination of Global Reporting Initiative and campus assessment tools from previous studies is conducted on stand-alone sustainability reports and websites of a purposive sample of eight universities in Turkey. Findings : Infrequent and unsystematic sustainability practice done through websites seems to be more prevalent than formal reporting through international initiatives. Research and practice diverge by focusing on different sustainability indicators. Sustainability needs to be integrated into teaching and curriculum through university policies and regulations. Foundation universities show greater effort in sustainability reporting than public universities. Research limitations/implications : The research is limited by the availability of mostly self-reported, dispersed and unaudited data by foundation universities in addition to framework-imposed specificities. Furthermore, there is only one public university with a formal sustainability report in the sample.Practical implications : The findings offer suggestions for developing extra sustainability indicators and may assist local policy-makers and researchers in their efforts to improve sustainability reporting by local universities.Originality/value : This comprehensive research effort is one of the few studies from a non-Western country perspective and the only study on Turkey in relation to universities and sustainability reporting.

In fact, a cursory glance at the popularpress shows very clearly that top organizational leaders—the Chief Executive Officer orManaging Director—are often glorified as being the brains behind the success of the entire organization (e.g., Ray Kroc ofMcDonald’s, Bill Gates ofMicrosoft) or vilified as the cause of an organization’s downfall (e.g., Kenneth Lay of Enron). A look behind the scenes, however, shows a far more complex situation.Article Citation - WoS: 31Citation - Scopus: 28Drivers of Cultural Success: the Case of Sensory Metaphors(Amer Psychological Assoc, 2015-07-01) Berger, Jonah; Akpınar, EzgiWhy do some cultural items catch on and become more popular than others? Language is one of the basic foundations of culture. But what leads some phrases to become more culturally successful? There are multiple ways to convey the same thing and phrases with similar meanings often act as substitutes, competing for usage. A not so friendly person, for example, can be described as unfriendly or cold. We study how the senses shape cultural success, suggesting that compared with their semantic equivalents (e.g., unfriendly person), phrases which relate to senses in metaphoric ways (e.g., cold person) should be more culturally successful. Data from 5 million books over 200 years support this prediction: Sensory metaphors are used more frequently over time than are their semantic equivalents. Experimental evidence demonstrates that sensory metaphors are more memorable because they relate more to the senses and have more associative cues. These findings shed light on how senses shape language and the psychological foundations of culture more broadly.Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 14Value Integration Effects on Evaluations of Retro Brands(Elsevier Science Inc, 2017-08-01) Döğerlioğlu Demir, Kıvılcım; Akpınar, Ezgi; Tansuhaj, Patriya; Cote, Joseph; Dogerlioglu-Demir, Kivilcim; Dogerhoglu-Demir, KivilcimIn 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.Review Citation - WoS: 44Citation - Scopus: 53Enhancing Our Understanding of Vision in Organizations: Toward an Integration of Leader and Follower Processes(SAGE Publications Inc, 2015-05-28) Berson, Yair; Pearce, Craig L.; Waldman, David A.We put forth a theoretical model that considers alternative paths toward the formation of vision in collectives. We view vision as being shaped by a combination of hierarchical leader vision and shared leadership processes involving followers. As such, these paths balance leader- and follower-centric approaches to understand the formation of vision. A feature of our approach is that we emphasize some key processes and moderators; specifically, the role of the content of the vision of the leader, leader deontic fairness, and collective identification among members of the collective. We consider research implications including the measurement of shared vision, as well as practical implications pertaining to its relevance for such important outcomes as organizational learning.Article Citation - WoS: 45Citation - Scopus: 54Sharing Is Caring: Toward a Model of Proactive Caring Through Shared Leadership(Elsevier, 2015-09-01) Manz, Charles C; Courtright, Stephen; Pearce, Craig L; Houghton, Jeffery D; Stewart, Greg LIn this paper we address an age-old expression - "sharing is caring." We offer a model and propositions suggesting that shared leadership proactively increases group-level caring and ultimately group-level performance within organizations through two key mediating mechanisms - psychological empowerment climate and group solidarity. In addition, we identify collaborative capacity and collaborative context as two potential moderators of the relationships between shared leadership and the two mediators. We conclude by exploring the implications of our model for both research and practice. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc.

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 Citation - WoS: 20Citation - Scopus: 20Serving One Another: Are Shared and Self-Leadership the Keys To Service Sustainability?(Wiley-Blackwell, 2015-01-25) Wassenaar, Christina L.; Pearce, Craig L.; Skaggs, Bruce C.; Manz, Charles C.Service has received increasing attention in the management literature, yet sustainability of service is often overlooked. In this Incubator we examine the potential for client involvement through shared and self-leadership to foster empathy enhanced service and reduced costs, both of which may support a more sustainable service delivery process.
