Item Exploring The Enablers For Building Resilience In Solar Photovoltaic Energy Supply Chains(Başkent Üniversitesi İktisadi İdari Bilimler Fakültesi, 2024-05-27) Erol, Ismail; Peker, Iskender; Benli, Tolga; Ar, Ilker Murat; Searcy, CoryA solar photovoltaic energy supply chain (SPvESC) is a global network with several linkages, including mineral and metal mining, material processing, and module and panel manufacturing. Due to the wide range of uncertainties and the unfavorable environmental effects associated with current linear business models, this global network is vulnerable to disruptions. Strengthening the resilience of SPvESCs is crucial for addressing any disturbances. This requires identifying the key enablers of resilience in SPvESCs, an area that has been understudied in the existing literature. An enabler is an aspect that facilitates the achievement of a goal by another aspect. This research contributes to the existing literature by systematically investigating the enablers for SPvESCs to achieve resilience. Thus, the objective of this analysis is to identify enablers that have the potential to enhance the resilience of SPvESCs in T & uuml;rkiye. This was done by applying the Nominal Group Technique (NGT) in conjunction with a review of the current literature. Neutrosophic (N)-DEMATEL was then utilized to determine the relationships between the identified enablers. Finally, the results were validated using N-DELPHI. The results revealed that sensing and seizing new business models, adaptability to changes in novel energy generation and information technologies, and business contingency plans for natural and man-made disasters were the most influential enablers. The findings provide implications for practitioners, policymakers, and researchers to help ensure improved resilience in SPvESCs.Item Nudge Theory On Intrapreneurship: A Conceptual View(Başkent Üniversitesi İktisadi İdari Bilimler Fakültesi, 2024-05-31) Ozturk, Alperen; Arun, KorhanPurpose - 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.Item Competitive Yet Unfair: May 2023 Elections And Authoritarian Resilience In Turkey(Başkent Üniversitesi İktisadi İdari Bilimler Fakültesi, 2024-04-20) Esen, Berk; Gumuscu, Sebnem; Yavuzyilmaz, HakanOn May 14, Turkish voters headed to the polls to vote for presidential and parliamentary elections. This was the most challenging race yet for authoritarian populist Erdogan, as the ongoing economic crisis and deadly earthquakes severely diminished his performance legitimacy. Moreover, the opposition parties united against his regime by rallying behind a joint presidential candidate. However, Erdogan turned the tables on the opposition and won the presidential race for a third consecutive term while his electoral bloc secured a majority in the parliament. This paper analyses the context and results of Turkey's 2023 twin elections. We highlight the features of the competitive authoritarian regime, Erdogan's religio-nationalist electoral strategy, and the opposition's fragile state and weak strategy to explain Erdogan's electoral resilience.Item An Econophysics Perspective on Green Bonds and Stock Market Nexus: Can Green Finance be an Investment Option for Emerging Stock Markets?(Başkent Üniversitesi İktisadi İdari Bilimler Fakültesi, 2024-03-28) Acikgoz, TurkerGreen bonds are one of the most fascinating financial innovations that offer a solution to climate change and sustainable development from the financial point of view. In this study, we employ methods from statistical physics to examine the multifractal features of cross-correlations between green bonds and emerging stock markets. Utilizing multifractal detrended cross-correlation analysis (MFDCCA) on return and volatility series, our findings reveal significant cross-correlations between green bonds and emerging stock markets. The MFDCCA results uncover multifractal features and long-range cross-correlations between the two assets. Notably, volatility cross-correlations exhibit persistent behavior, while return cross-correlations vary across small and large fluctuation periods. These findings hold practical implications for policymakers and investors involved in green bonds and emerging stock markets.Item Explaining The Relationship Between Person-Organization Fit And Entrepreneurial Intention Through Workplace Ostracism And Loneliness(Başkent Üniversitesi İktisadi İdari Bilimler Fakültesi, 2024-03-10) Basar, Ufuk; Karamanlioglu, Almula Umay; Sigri, UnsalPurposeThe entrepreneurial intention of employees refers to the motive of those who work in a company to resign and start their businesses instead of continuing to be wage earners. It is one of the under-studied aspects of entrepreneurship research. Accordingly, this research paper aimed to find out whether perceived person-organization fit was related to the entrepreneurial intentions of employees and whether perceived workplace ostracism and loneliness mediated this process.Design/methodology/approachA cross-sectional study was conducted to achieve the purpose. The data were collected through a questionnaire technique from a total of 572 employees. Participants were from 20 different provinces of Turkey and 27 different sectors. Hypotheses were tested through the structural equation modeling technique.FindingsFindings indicated that a lack of perceived person-organization fit resulted in entrepreneurial intention. Workplace ostracism resulted in workplace loneliness. Workplace ostracism and loneliness significantly mediated the relationship between perceived person-organization fit and entrepreneurial intention.Originality/valueTo the best of authors' knowledge, this study was the first to establish and test the relationships between person-organization fit, entrepreneurial intention, workplace ostracism and loneliness. In this regard, findings can benefit researchers and practitioners in better figuring out why some employees leave their companies to start their businesses while others do not.Item Preferences for Intuition and Deliberation in Decision-Making in the Public Sector: Cross-Cultural Comparison of China, Taiwan, the Philippines, and the USA(Başkent Üniversitesi İktisadi İdari Bilimler Fakültesi, 2024-02-19) Svenson, Frithiof; Ermasova, Natalia; Cetin, Fatih; Launer, Markus A.This paper explores hypotheses based on Hofstede's cultural framework showing that decision-makers' culture impacts their implicit choice. How people make decisions is tested through the behavioral dimension preference for intuition/preference for deliberation based on data from 1,233 employees in China, Taiwan, the Philippines, and the USA. This study reveals significant variation in individuals' intuitive and affective decision-making in the public sector across different countries. Individuals' deliberative decision-making is impacted by long-term orientation and uncertainty avoidance. The study finds that Eastern countries (China, the Philippines, and Taiwan) have higher scores for intuitive/affective decision making than the Western countries (the USA).Item Multifractal Detrended Cross-Correlations between Green Bonds and Commodity Markets: An Exploration of the Complex Connections between Green Finance and Commodities from the Econophysics Perspective(FRACTAL AND FRACTIONAL, 2024-03-08) Acikgoz, Turker; Gokten, Soner; Soylu, Abdullah BugraGreen bonds represent a compelling financial innovation that presents a financial perspective solution to address climate change and promote sustainable development. On the other hand, the recent process of financialisation of commodities disrupts the dynamics of the commodity market, increasing its correlation with financial markets and raising the risks associated with commodities. In this context, understanding the dynamics of the interconnectivity between green bonds and commodity markets is crucial for risk management and portfolio diversification. This study aims to reveal the multifractal cross-correlations between green bonds and commodities by employing methods from statistical physics. We apply multifractal detrended cross-correlation analysis (MFDCCA) to both return and volatility series, demonstrating that green bonds and commodities exhibit multifractal characteristics. The analysis reveals long-range power-law cross-correlations between these two markets. Specifically, volatility cross-correlations persist across various fluctuations, while return series display persistence in small fluctuations and antipersistence in large fluctuations. These findings carry significant practical implications for hedging and risk diversification purposes.Item The Impact On The Local Economy Of Having Coastal Areas With Blue Flag The Turkish Case(BLUE FLAG BEACHES, 2024-02-05) Eser, Zeliha; Sumer, Selay IlgazItem The İmpact Of Fluctuating İnternational Fertiliser Prices And Exchange Rates On Domestic Fertiliser Prices İn Türkiye(AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS-ZEMEDELSKA EKONOMIKA, 2024-12-14) Bor, Ozgur; Dagistan, NihatThis study aims to examine the relationship between domestic and international prices of di -ammonium phosphate (DAP) and urea fertilisers together with exchange rates in Tiirkiye using the non-linear autoregressive distributed lag (NARDL) model on monthly data for the period of January 2011 to September 2022. The result of the study provides empirical evidence about the presence of asymmetries in the short and long -run among these fertilisers. The findings of the study confirm that international prices of di -ammonium phosphate and urea fertilisers have a symmetric effect in the long -run and exchange rate of the Turkish lira to US dollars has an asymmetric effect on the domestic prices of fertilisers in the short run. This is the first study in Tiirkiye to delineate the dynamic simultaneous interaction among these markets and its findings can be extremely useful for academicians, and policymakers to make decisions regarding the market structure of countries that do not have sufficient domestic resources for fertiliser supply and are dependent on imports.Item The Impact Of High-Performance Human Resource Practices On Subjective Career Success: The Mediating Role Of Psychological Capital And Organizational Commitment(JOURNAL OF EAST EUROPEAN MANAGEMENT STUDIES, 2024-06-19) Toyata, Berk; Kizrak, Meral; Cakar, MehmetUtilizing insights from positive psychology, social exchange theory, and social cognitive career theory, this study aims to investigate the mediating role of psychological capital and organizational commitment in the relationship between high-performance human resource (HR) practices and subjective career success. Data were collected from a sample of 429 private sector employees working on European Union projects in Turkey. Hypotheses were tested using regression, correlation, and mediation analyses, as well as Sobel test statistics. Results indicate that high-performance HR practices, organizational commitment, and psychological capital positively influence subjective career success. Additionally, there is evidence that, unlike organizational commitment, psychological capital mediates the relationship between high-performance HR practices and subjective career success. Our study underscores the need for organizations to foster and develop psychological capital among their employees to maximize the effectiveness of HR practices in promoting subjective career success.
