A Configurational Approach for Analyzing Cultural Values and Performance in Global Virtual Teams
(INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS REVIEW, 2024) Sahin, Faruk; Taras, Vas; Cetin, Fatih; Tavoletti, Ernesto; Askun, Duysal; Florea, Liviu
Although there have been decades of research on the effect of cultural values on team effectiveness outcomes, knowledge of the interdependencies of team cultural values for explaining team performance remains nascent. Using a configurational qualitative approach, this study explores how cultural values combine and collectively contribute to the effectiveness of Global Virtual Teams (GVTs). We perform a fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis on a data set of 1847 individuals nested within 396 GVTs who participated in an international business consulting project. The results demonstrate that cultural values work together to achieve high levels of team performance rather than function independently. The results also show that different cultural value configurations could be equally effective at producing the same outcome, and that the presence of gender egalitarianism and the absence of power distance are the most important for producing the outcome. We discuss implications for practice and future research.
Cyber Security Awareness, Knowledge and Behavior: A Comparative Study
(2020) Zwilling, Moti; Klien, Galit; Lesjak, Dusan; Wiechetek, Lukasz; Cetin, Fatih; Basim, Hamdullah Nejat
Cyber-attacks represent a potential threat to information security. As rates of data usage and internet consumption continue to increase, cyber awareness turned to be increasingly urgent. This study focuses on the relationships between cyber security awareness, knowledge and behavior with protection tools among individuals in general and across four countries: Israel, Slovenia, Poland and Turkey in particular. Results show that internet users possess adequate cyber threat awareness but apply only minimal protective measures usually relatively common and simple ones. The study findings also show that higher cyber knowledge is connected to the level of cyber awareness, beyond the differences in respondent country or gender. In addition, awareness is also connected to protection tools, but not to information they were willing to disclose. Lastly, findings exhibit differences between the explored countries that affect the interaction between awareness, knowledge, and behaviors. Results, implications, and recommendations for effective based cyber security training programs are presented and discussed.
Deviant Employee Behavior in the Eyes of Colleagues: The Role of Organizational Support and Self-Efficacy
(2017) Tuzun, Ipek Kalemci; Cetin, Fatih; Basim, H. Nejat; 0000-0001-6979-2040; 0000-0002-2487-9553; 0000-0002-2605-9962; ABB-5350-2020; J-8116-2015
The present study investigates the influences of multifocal organizational support in the context of deviant employee behavior by examining the potential associations with employees' self-efficacy characteristics. The study proposes that perceived multifocal support and self-efficacy have a direct relationship with deviant behavior, and that these two variables interact in their relationship with deviant workplace behavior. Using self- and peer-reported data from 225 academics, hypothesized relationships were investigated using structural equation modeling. The results indicate that two different forms of support (organizational and supervisory) strongly influenced two different forms of deviant behavior (organizational and interpersonal). Whereas perceived organizational support decreases organizationally relevant deviant behavior, supervisory support decreases deviant behavior toward colleagues. The results also showed that high self-efficacy moderates both the negative relationship between organizational support and deviant behavior toward the organization and that between supervisory support and deviant behavior toward colleagues. The study also discusses the implications of these findings for managers, along with recommendations for future research.

Improving Job Performance Through Identification and Psychological Capital
(2018) Tuzun, Ipek Kalemci; Cetin, Fatih; Basim, H. Nejat; 0000-0001-6979-2040; 0000-0002-2487-9553; 0000-0002-2605-9962; ABB-5350-2020; J-8116-2015; ABD-9381-2021
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to increase understanding of the link between various identification foci and performance, and to test whether one's psychological capital (PsyCap) can explain the influence of collective or relational identification on job performance. Design/methodology/approach - The study sample comprised 235 academicians working in a foundation university from Turkey. The questionnaires were practiced in two different time intervals with using an identifier coding system for avoiding common method bias issues. The authors used structural equation modeling with using AMOS v23.0. Findings - The results showed that PsyCap has positive effects on the job performance and work group identification flourishes employees PsyCap level; there is no evidence of any mediating effect of PsyCap on the relationships between various organizational identification foci and job performance. Originality/value - This study extends previous research by providing evidence of that rather than the other identification target (organization, work unit, and career) identification with supervisor influenced on job performance.
The Pattern of Stable Personality in Predicting the Subjective Well-Being: The Mediating Role of Psychological Capital
(2015) Cetin, Fatih; Turgut, Hakan; Sozen, H. Cenk; 0000-0002-2487-9553; J-8116-2015
The concept of subjective well-being that is considered to be counterpart of the "happiness" in the psychological science is one of the indicators of how individuals think and sense their lifetime. The main purpose of this study is to explore the effects of the big five personality in the light of the genetic or personality theories and psychological capital with regards to the process or activity theories on the subjective well-being, and to seek for the mediating role of the psychological capital in this process. The data were collected at twelve-day intervals from 361 employees working in various positions in a courier company with using survey method. The survey battery comprised of Well-being Scale, Big Five Personality Scale and Psychological Capital Scale. The data were analyzed with using Amos v20.0 and SPSS v20.0 programs. The findings showed a significant positive relationship between extraversion, agreeableness, psychological capital and subjective well being, and a significant negative relationship between neuroticism and subjective well being. In addition to that psychological capital mediated the relationship between the extroversion and subjective well being. The results allowed researchers to make casual inferences about the relationship between stable personality characteristics and psychological attributes indicated as intraindividual distal and proximal context in the well being literature.

(2015) Cetin, Fatih; Yeloglu, Hakki Okan; Basim, H. Nejat; 0000-0002-2487-9553; ABD-9381-2021; J-8116-2015; L-1624-2017
Resilience is an ability to bounce back from adversities, setbacks or difficulties in face of stressful life events. The main purpose of this study was to analyze the role of big five personality in predicting the resilience and to determine the most influent dimensions of resilience in this process. Data were gathered from 286 university students with using survey method. The instruments were Resilience Scale and Big Five Personality Scale. Results of the canonical correlation analysis showed that extroversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness and openness to experience are positively, and neuroticism is negatively related to the resilience. Furthermore, it was determined that perception of self, social resources and social competence sub-dimensions of the resilience, and extroversion and consciousness sub-dimensions of the personality distinguished in predicting the resilience and personality respectively. Ultimately all results proposed that big five personality explain significant variance in resilience structure. The results were discussed in the light of the literature.
