Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Judgments of Capability and Conformity as Distinct Forms of Social Judgments, and the Way They Interact To Shape Evaluator Decisions(Wiley, 2020) Topaler, Başak; Küp, Eyuep TolunayObjective Social judgments are evaluators' opinions about the social properties of a set of actors. Different types of judgments rendered by the evaluators and potential interactions between them may have major consequences for the actors who are evaluated. In this article, we distinguish between judgments of capability and conformity, and examine their concurrent and interdependent effects on evaluator impressions. Methods We investigate these dynamics in the context of authors competing for the best paper award at the Academy of Management (AoM) conference. Results Findings of our empirical analyses demonstrate interdependent effects of capability and conformity judgments on the committee members' decisions. We demonstrate that evaluators expect greater conformity to their ideal template from more capable actors who have greater potential to contribute to these ideals. Conclusion Our study advances the literature on social judgments by showing that congruence (or incongruence) among distinct types of judgment shape evaluators' decisions, beyond their independent effects.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 14Family Involvement, Corporate Governance and Dividends in Turkey(Emerald Group Publishing Limited, 2019) Sener, Pinar; Akben Selçuk, ElifPurpose: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between dividends and family involvement as well as corporate governance characteristics among Turkish public firms. Design/methodology/approach: Using panel data on Turkish firms listed on the Borsa Istanbul 100 index for 2006–2014 three models are estimated. For the first two models where the dependent variables are the dividend payout ratio and dividend yield respectively tobit regressions are run. The last model which employs a dividend dummy as the dependent variable is estimated with logistic regression. Findings: There is a positive and concave relationship between family ownership and dividends. The existence of a family chairman reduces dividends. There is a positive association between board size and dividends and this relationship is weaker for firms with higher levels of family ownership. Finally the ratio of independent directors on the board is negatively associated with dividends. Practical implications: The findings imply that firms with substantial family ownership and active family participation in management are more likely to send a negative signal to minority shareholders by paying lower dividends. In addition minority shareholders should pay attention to the board structure of firms in which they invest. Originality/value: This study is one of the few to analyze the nonlinear relationship between family ownership and dividend payments as well as the role of family management in a developing country. Second it investigates the role of board characteristics in explaining dividend payment decisions. © 2019 Emerald Publishing Limited.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 3Does governance affect corporate diversification behaviour in emerging markets?(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francıs Ltd, 2020) Sener, Pınar; Akben Selçuk, ElifThis paper investigates the role of firm-level and country-level governance on corporate diversification behaviour in emerging markets. The results show that firms with combined leadership structure are more diversified while firms with more independent directors are less diversified. There is a U-shaped relationship between ownership concentration and diversification. No significant association between country-level shareholder protection and diversification is demonstrated.Article Citation - Scopus: 129Corporate Social Responsibility and Financial Performance: the Moderating Role of Ownership Concentration in Turkey(MDPI, 2019) Akben Selçuk, ElifThe objective of this study is to investigate the impact of corporate social responsibility (CSR) engagement on firm financial performance in a developing country, Turkey, and to analyze the moderating role of ownership concentration in the CSR-financial performance relationship. The sample consists of non-financial public firms listed on the Borsa Istanbul (BIST)-100 index and covers the period between 2014 and 2018. Empirical results using an instrumental variable approach show that corporate social responsibility has a positive relationship with financial performance. Furthermore, findings indicate that this relationship is negatively moderated by ownership concentration even when endogeneity is controlled for.Article Citation - Scopus: 20Meat Substitutes in Sustainability Context: a Content Analysis of Consumer Attitudes(Routledge, 2020) Tosun, Petek; Yanar, Merve; Sezgin, Selime; Uray, NimetFood consumption affects the environment because it requires the usage of water, land, and oil resources. In particular, the consumption of red meat is associated with sustainability issues. Replacing meat with plant-based meat substitutes offers a useful way of reducing the burden that meat consumption places on the environment and dealing with issues regarding animal welfare. However, consumer acceptance of such products is low in some countries. The purpose of this paper is to clarify consumer attitudes toward meat substitutes and discuss them from a marketing perspective. The findings of this study, which are based on content analyses of web forums in Turkey, indicate that negative consumer perceptions can be categorized into three main dimensions: unhealthy, unusual, and tasteless. A marketing perceptive is used to discuss the findings.Article Citation - WoS: 34Citation - Scopus: 49Factors Affecting Firm Competitiveness: Evidence From an Emerging Market(MDPI, 2016) Akben Selçuk, ElifThe objective of this study is to investigate the factors affecting firm competitiveness in an emerging marketTurkey. In the paper competitiveness is proxied by a firm's financial performance. The empirical analysis is based on firms listed on Borsa Istanbul and covers the period between 2005 and 2014. Results from a firm-level panel data model indicate that return on assets is positively related to firm size international sales liquidity and growth and negatively related to leverage and R&D expenditures. On the other hand gross profit margin is positively related to size and international sales and negatively related to leverage and R&D expenditures. Finally results show that Tobin's Q ratio is higher for firms with higher levels of debt and higher liquidity levels.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Political Will, Political Skill, Network Resources and Personal Reputation: a Serial Two-Mediator Model(Sciendo, 2020) Demirbağ, Orkun; Demir, Hale; Yozgat, UğurPurpose: Although social capital and positive reputation in organizations are essential for career success, there is a limited perspective in the literature on the political characteristics (motivation and ability) that enable one to acquire and develop the two elements. This study seeks to investigate the sequential role of political skill and network resources as serial mediators of the political will-personal reputation relationship. Methodology: In total, what provided data for the study were 457 sales executives from 13 different sectors in the cities of Istanbul, Kocaeli, and Bursa, which is an economically leading region of western Turkey. Executives rated their political will, political skill network resources, and personal reputation. Based on the complementary theories of political influence, social network, and signaling, we analyzed the relationships between constructs with structural equation modeling. Findings: Political skill mediated the relationship between political will and network resources, network resources mediated the relationship between political skill and personal reputation, while political skill and network resources sequentially mediated the relationship between political will and personal reputation. Implications: The data were collected from a single source. Practical Implications: Political will, political skill training, and social networks may help individuals manage their personal reputation at work, thus benefiting their careers. Originality/Value: This is one of the first studies to sequentially investigate how individuals' characteristics (motivation and ability) develop their social network and personal reputation at work. Moreover, theories of political influence, social capital, and signaling were jointly used for the first time ever.Article Citation - WoS: 54Citation - Scopus: 68Assessing Quality in Higher Education: New Criteria for Evaluating Students' Satisfaction(Taylor & Francis, 2011) Zineldin, Mosad; Akdag, Hatice Camgöz; Vasicheva, ValentinaThe aim of this research is to present a new quality assurance model (5Qs) and to examine the major factors affecting students' perception of cumulative satisfaction. The model includes behavioural dimensions of student satisfaction. The factors included in this cumulative summation are technical functional infrastructure interaction and atmosphere of higher education institutions. This study concerns students in higher education institutions in Istanbul Turkey. The questionnaire contains a total of 39 items (attributes) of newly developed five quality dimensions (5Qs). A total of 1641 complete and usable questionnaires was received. Frequency analysis factor analysis and reliability analysis were used for analysing the data collected. Inspection of scree plot and eigenvalues enabled the analysis to reduce the 39 quality attributes to seven factors. The results can be used by higher education institutions to re-engineer and re-design creatively their quality-management processes and the future direction of their more effective education quality strategies. © 2011 Taylor & Francis.Article Joint Pricing and Ordering Problem With Charitable Donations(Mdpi, 2020) Çavdaroğlu, Nur AyvazFinding the correct pricing strategy for a product with multiple versions is an issue for retailers from various industries. In this paper, joint pricing and ordering problem is considered for a product that has two versions at each selling period. Two models, namely with or without the donation option, are analyzed and optimality conditions and monotonicity properties of the decision variables are characterized. When demands of products depend on prices of both versions, donating part of old product inventory would be more profitable for the retailer. Moreover, the donation model would result in less wasted inventory, contributing to sustainability and goals of green economy. Analytical results are supported with numerical analysis of a realistic case.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 9Eurasian Geopolitics and Financial Crisis: Transforming Russian-Turkish Relations From Geopolitical Rivalry To Strategic Cooperation(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2010) İşeri, Emre[Abstract Not Available]
