    Disentangling the Dynamic Digital Capability, Digital Transformation, and Organizational Performance Relationships in Smes: a Configurational Analysis Based on Fsqca
    (Springer, 2024-09-02) Saunila, Minna; Karadağ, Hande; Şahin, Faruk; Karamollaoğlu, Nazlı
    While digitalization has become inevitable for firms of every size, a limited number of studies to date aimed to investigate the impact of digital capabilities and digital transformation on the organizational performance of small businesses. Drawing on the dynamic capabilities view, the current study analyzes the conditions under which the dynamic digital capability of a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) would lead to higher performance. In this study, a unique fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis methodology was used for analyzing the data collected from 136 SMEs for investigating the IT utilization, human capital, digital maturity, and digitalization strategy antecedents of dynamic digital capability. The results reveal that two particular configurations of dynamic digital capability are identified as the main digitalization influencers of organizational performance in SMEs. To the best of our knowledge, this study presents the first empirical findings to the literature about dynamic digital capability and organizational performance relationships in SMEs through the utilization of configurational analysis methodology. Theoretically, the study addresses an acknowledged need for a holistic approach to uncover the underlying mechanisms of dynamic digital capability formation and digital transformation in small firms, with their impact on firm performance. The findings also present vital practical implications for business owners, policy-makers, and bodies responsible for SMEs, by providing new insights about the combination of factors that drive high performance, particularly at times of turbulence, in these units.

    Consumer Responses Toward Smart Technology: a Systematic Review, Synthesis, and Future Research Agenda
    (Wiley, 2024-04-25) Köse, Şirin Gizem; Özer Çizer, Ece; Sağkaya Güngör, Ayşegül; Ozansoy Çadırcı, Tugce; Cadirci, Tugce Ozansoy; Gungor, Aysegul Sagkaya
    This article is a comprehensive review of the literature on smart technology in consumer studies from 1996 to 2023. While the paper provides information about the development of the field by identifying important publications and authors, it employs topic modeling to pinpoint key topics in papers published in marketing and business journals. These topics are then grouped into three research streams and evaluated concerning theoretical, contextual, and methodological perspectives. While doing so, specific gaps were identified. By revealing gaps in the literature, the study suggests promising avenues for further research. Finally, this article advances our comprehension of the smart technology literature in marketing and business journals and informs future inquiry in this rapidly evolving domain.

    The Timing Database: an Open-Access, Live Repository for Interval Timing Studies
    (Springer, 2023-01-03) Brochard, Renaud; Karşılar, Hakan; Akdoğan, Başak; De Corte, Benjamin; Aydoğan, Turaç; Baccarani, Alessia; Duyan, Yalçın Akın; Balci, Fuat
    Interval timing refers to the ability to perceive and remember intervals in the seconds to minutes range. Our contemporary understanding of interval timing is derived from relatively small-scale, isolated studies that investigate a limited range of intervals with a small sample size, usually based on a single task. Consequently, the conclusions drawn from individual studies are not readily generalizable to other tasks, conditions, and task parameters. The current paper presents a live database that presents raw data from interval timing studies (currently composed of 68 datasets from eight different tasks incorporating various interval and temporal order judgments) with an online graphical user interface to easily select, compile, and download the data organized in a standard format. The Timing Database aims to promote and cultivate key and novel analyses of our timing ability by making published and future datasets accessible as open-source resources for the entire research community. In the current paper, we showcase the use of the database by testing various core ideas based on data compiled across studies (i.e., temporal accuracy, scalar property, location of the point of subjective equality, malleability of timing precision). The Timing Database will serve as the repository for interval timing studies through the submission of new datasets.

    The Antecedents of Career Change Intention in Middle-Level Managers: the Role of Job and Career Satisfaction
    (Personnel Review, 2022-10-21) Şahin, Faruk; Karadağ, Hande
    Purpose – This investigates the interrelationships between job and career satisfaction and career changeintention through the extension of the theory of planned behavior (TPB).Design/methodology/approach – The data for the study is collected from 219 top and middle-levelmanagers and analyzed through partial least squares path structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM).Findings – Findings indicate that job and career satisfaction have a significant and negative impact onpersonal attitude toward career change and subjective norms, whereas all three constructs of the TPB influence the intention to change career. In addition, the mediation of personal attitude and subjective norm pathways were found to be significant for both job and career satisfaction and career change intention relationships, while no mediation effect was identified for the perceived behavior control construct of the TPB.Research limitations/implications – The results suggest important theoretical and practical implications.First, a novel model of mediation between job and career satisfaction and the intention to turn away from an existing career is introduced between job and career satisfaction and career change intention associations for testing the full TPB framework.Practical implications – The findings imply that the impact of cognitive factors, including having a positiveopinion about the potential outcomes of switching to a new career, the level of pressure exerted by significant third parties about making a career change, and the self-belief about making this change happen should be closely investigated when examining the determinants of career change intention.Originality/value – To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first empirical research study that teststhe impact of the determinants of TPB on career change intention within a sample of professional managers from an emerging economy context.

    User-Generated and Brand-Generated Content as Indicators of University Brand Personality and Business Strategy
    (Routledge, 2022-04-04) Tosun, Petek; Ayan, Büşra; Karadağ, Hande
    The rising competition and social media usage increased the importance of university brand personality and strategic marketing in higher education. This study explores the interrelationships between brand-generated content (BGC) and user-generated content (UGC) on social media and universities’ competitive strategy and brand personality. BGC that included four universities’ tweets and UGC that consisted of consumer comments were analyzed by content and correspondence analysis in R programming language. The findings indicated that BGC was in alignment with universities’ generic strategies. BGC-UGC dispersions across brand personality were in alignment for the differentiator university, while there was a mismatch between BGC and UGC for low-cost universities. The differentiator university was associated with being prestigious, cosmopolitan, and conscientious, while the low-cost universities were associated with sincerity. The findings supported the applicability of generic business strategies to the higher education context and showed the strategic link between brand personality and the pursued generic strategy.

    Minimum Cost Delivery of Multi-Item Orders in E-Commerce Logistics
    (Elsevier, 2022-02-01) Muter, İbrahim; Laportece, GilberT; Akyüz, M. Hakan; Erdoğan, Güneş; Laporte, Gilbert
    We solve a delivery problem arising in e-commerce logistics. We consider a retailer with an online store and a network of stores operating in an omni-channel strategy. The fulfillment decision for an online order, which contains a number of items, involves the allocation of these items to the stores where they are available and the selection of one store for consolidation of the items into the final package to be dispatched to the customer. The transportation between the stores and the customer is handled by a third-party logistic provider which uses a concave pricing policy based on the distance between the origin and the destination, as well as on the weight of the items. We present an online problem which is defined for a set of orders placed over time, and a mixed integer programming formulation defined for each order. The main characteristics of this problem are that the solution of the formulation for each order impacts those of the subsequent orders, and the problem must be solved in real time. For the solution of the formulation, we propose an iterative matheuristic based on the solution of the set covering model and local search. Computational results on randomly generated instances are provided, which demonstrate that our algorithm is capable of producing high-quality results.

    The Ethical Shortlisting Problem
    (Elsevier, 2022-02-01) Erdoğan, Güneş
    Hiring is a fundamental, frequent activity for all organizations. Hiring decisions have been reported to be subject to conscious and unconscious biases in the literature. The field of Computational Ethics aims to quantify and maximize the ethicality of decisions. This paper attempts to apply Computational Ethics to the shortlisting process in hiring through the use of Linear Programming. Given a set of applicants for a job with numerical qualification values, the author aims to determine weights for each qualification type to compute scores and resulting rankings for each applicant. To this end, Abstract Moral Theories of Utilitarianism, Maximin/Leximin, Egalitarianism, and Prioritarianism are utilized and applied to a set of randomly generated applicant data. Computational experiments demonstrate that the models are scalable and return interpretable results. The necessity of a quota-based shortlisting system to alleviate disadvantaged candidates is highlighted. The author recommends the use of the Maximin model and iteratively eliminating the applicant with the lowest score.

    Locus of Control, Need for Achievement, and Entrepreneurial Intention: a Moderated Mediation Model
    (Elsevier, 2022-07-01) Tuncer, Büşra; Uysal, Şenay Karakuş; Şahin, Faruk; Karadağ, Hande; Uysala, Senay Karakus
    Applying social cognitive career theory (Lent, Brown, & Hackett, 2002) to entrepreneurship, this paper addresses the effects of locus of control and need for achievement on entrepreneurial intentions, and whether the effects are mediated by entrepreneurial self-efficacy and vary according to sex. The participants were 111 students enrolled in the business administration program in Turkey. Using longitudinal survey data, the research model was tested with the moderated mediation procedure suggested by Hayes (2013). The findings showed that entrepreneurial self-efficacy mediated the relationship between locus of control and entrepreneurial intention, as well as the relationship between need for achievement and entrepreneurial intention. Moreover, the conditional indirect analysis showed that the effect of locus of control on entrepreneurial intention depended on sex, with the effect of locus of control being greater for men. By showing empirical evidence for the usefulness of social cognitive career theory to entrepreneurship, our research adds to current literature. Implications for practice and recommendations for future research are discussed.

    Consumer Complaining Behavior in Hospitality Management
    (Taylor & Francis, 2021-07-24) Tosun, Petek; Sezgin, Selime; Uray, Nimet
    The purpose of this study is to investigate the impacts of assertiveness, aggressiveness, and perceived risks on consumer complaining behavior (CCB) in the tourism and hospitality sector. This research utilized a quantitative methodology through the implementation of a two-stage study based on surveys. Study 1 examined the impacts of assertiveness, aggressiveness, and perceived risks on CCB in the context of low-quality summer vacation, while Study 2 further investigated the relationships in the research model by replicating the survey within the framework of high-quality summer vacation. The results were then analyzed through factor and regression analyses. Both of the studies demonstrated that assertiveness positively influences CCB directly and also indirectly via the mediating effect of perceived risks. It was found that aggressiveness positively influences CCB when consumers have high service quality expectations but when they have low expectations for service quality, it is insignificant.
