    A Critical Review of Implicit Leadership Theory on the Validity of Organizational Actor-National Culture Fitness
    (2017) Ozturk, Alperen; Varoglu, M. Abdulkadir; Varoglu, Demet; R-6466-2019; R-6466-2019
    According to implicit leadership literature, actor-national culture fitness is a necessity to be labeled as a leader. However, studies which focus on implicit leadership theory and national culture have some contradictory findings. A systematic review of these studies reveals that participants could score high on opposite implicit leadership values and a sufficient theoretical explanation for these surprising results have not been given so far. This paper argues that showing full harmony with the cultural expectations of followers is not a necessity to be seen as a leader. Actors who can fill the cultural gap with their different cultural values can also be labeled as leaders. This paper contends that organizational actors with cultural values differing from those of the followers with certain cultural orientations are more likely to be labeled as leaders. People from individualistic societies may be more prone to label 'team oriented leadership' dimension as their outstanding leadership prototype whereas people from masculine societies may show 'humane oriented leadership' as their outstanding leadership prototype.

    Nudge Theory On Intrapreneurship: A Conceptual View
    (Başkent Üniversitesi İktisadi İdari Bilimler Fakültesi, 2024-05-31) Ozturk, Alperen; Arun, Korhan
    Purpose - This study aims to discuss appropriate individual, organizational and macroleveled conditions when it is desired to foster intrapreneurship with nudge techniques. Design/methodology/approach - Conceptual paper. Findings - This paper aims to provide theoretical framework on the relationship between nudges approach and intrapreneurship and offer measurable propositions at different level of analysis for future research. Originality/value - At the individual level it is theorized that nudges techniques on intrapreneurship will work when: "agents are aware of being nudged", "choice architect is a well-recognized leader", "perception of meaningful work is high" and "agents had former experience about being nudged". At the organizational level it is claimed that the "number", "type" and "frequency" of nudges plays the prominent role. Lastly, at the macrolevel it is postulated that "cultural adjustments", "providing education" and "forming networks" sets the ground for pushing masses to intrapreneurial activities via nudges.
