    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, Unsal
    PurposeThe 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.

    An Analysis of Assessment of Peacekeeping Operations
    (2014) Sigri, Unsal; Basar, Ufuk; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8870-7398; ADV-8340-2022
    This article proposes a model for assessment of peacekeeping operations. Peacekeeping operations began in 1948, under the authority of the United Nations in order to provide and sustain a peaceful environment throughout the world. International organizations such as the United Nations, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the African Union undertake peacekeeping operations in different geographical regions of the world. However, they lack some aspects of the assessment process. There were studies conducted previously in order to determine the principles of the assessment process of peacekeeping operations but none of them presented a comprehensive solution. Therefore, in this study, a clear, comprehensive and detailed assessment model was proposed, which may be applied in future peace operations and shed more light on the subject for future researches.

    Ethics Lead The Way Despite Organizational Politics
    (2018) Basar, Ufuk; Sigri, Unsal; Basim, H. Nejat; 0000-0002-8870-7398; 0000-0003-0008-5131; ADV-8340-2022; J-2510-2016; ABD-9381-2021
    The aim of this study was to find out whether ethical leadership has an impact on employees' organizational identification and the perceptions of organizational politics moderate this process. To this end, to ensure triangulation on findings, two separate researches were made. First, a cross-sectional survey was conducted on 137 employees who worked at the head office of a private bank in Istanbul using self-report questionnaires. Second, 2 years later, a time-lagged survey was conducted on 119 employees who worked at the same organization. Hierarchical regression analyses were performed on the collected data from studies 1 and 2. Findings of both studies indicated that ethical leadership resulted in organizational identification slightly more weakly in employees who perceived organizational politics. Drawing on findings, new researches investigating impacts of organizational politics on managerial processes in other organizations may be conducted in the future. Moreover, organizational leaders, who realized the adverse consequences of organizational politics, may take precautions against such tactics. Finally, findings may be noteworthy, because this research is believed to be the first to investigate empirically the moderating role of organizational politics in the association between ethical leadership and employees' organizational identification.

    Paradoxical Leadership Model
    (2018) Basar, Ufuk; Basim, H. Nejat; 0000-0003-0008-5131; J-2510-2016; ABD-9381-2021
    The aim of this research is to develop a new theoretical leadership model, which explains the dark and bright sides of leadership with a holistic view, and thereby, to trigger a new debate through bringing in a new perspective to leadership phenomenon in the light of extant theories. In this respect, following a review of historical development process of leadership theories, drawing on LMX theory a new theoretical leadership model was developed. Because it explains dark and bright behaviors of a leader with a holistic view, this new model was defined as paradoxical leadership model. Theoretical and practical implications of paradoxical leadership model, as well as how new avenues will be opened for researchers in the future were discussed.
