Demirbağ, Orkun; Yozgat, Uğur; Demir, Hale Cide
Remote work, which was seen as a fashionable word in the pre-Covid-19 periods, has been the main focus of their lives as a flexible working arrangement, which has been introduced as the "new normal" that millions of employees had to pass overnight since March 2020, and employees must adapt quickly. People who work in the uncertain and chaotic environment created by the epidemic are faced with increasing levels of job insecurity, which indicates not only the loss of one's job but also the loss of various job characteristics that they want to protect with remote working arrangements. In this direction, event systems, boundary and conservation of resource theories constitute the theoretical background of the study. This study, based on the relevant theories, examines the moderating role of work-life balance and the mediating role of psychological security in the effect of remote work effectiveness on job insecurity. As a result of the survey conducted by 444 white-collar employees from the service and manufacturing sectors, the findings reveal that psychological security mediates the relationship between the effectiveness of working remotely and job insecurity, work-life balance increases the indirect positive effect of remote work effectiveness on the employees' psychological safety, and as work-life balance increases, this indirect effect also increases.

Demirbağ, Orkun; Demir, Hale Cide; Yozgat, Uğur
Purpose: 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 İstanbul, 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.

Politik zekâ, açık bir kavramsal tanım ve uygulanabilir bir ölçümden yoksun, olağanüstü ancakyeterince araştırılmamış bir yapı olarak kabul edilmektedir. Mevcut araştırma, yapınıngeçerliliğini sağlarken "politik zekâ" yapısını kavramsallaştırmak ve ölçmek için yapılmıştır.Tüm konuyu ayrıntılı olarak ele almak için, Türkiye'de Politik Zekâ Ölçeğinin psikometriközelliklerini ve nomolojik ağını gösteren üç örneği kapsayan iki çalışma yapılmıştır (N = 943).Hipotezleştirildiği gibi, politik zeka, stratejik düşünme, amaç için empati, güvenilirlik, güçihtiyacı ve çok yönlülük boyutlarından oluşan çok boyutlu bir yapıdır. Ölçeğin hem yakınsakhem de ayırt edici geçerliliği olduğunu ve politik zekânın politik beceri ile pozitif yönde anlamlıbir ilişkisi mevcuttur. Argümanımız doğrultusunda, politik zekâ tarafından açıklanan yapınınpolitik beceri yapısından farklı olduğu bulunmuştur. Bu ölçeğin teorik çıkarımları sayesinde,örgütsel politika, liderlik ve sosyal değişime ilişkin yeni tartışmalar ilgili literatürde yeralacaktır.
