Demirbaǧ, Orkun; Demirbaǧ, Kübra Simşek; Batl, Gülgönül Bozoǧlu
Purpose: Because of the growing interest in the literature in education and political skill as facilitators of firm performance, this article aims to reveal whether there is a moderating role of women entrepreneurs' political skill on the relationship between their education level and firm performance when firm- and entrepreneur-level characteristics remain under control. Methodology: The study was conducted in Istanbul, Kocaeli, and Bursa, cities with the lowest gender gap in Turkey. The participants of the questionnaires were 291 entrepreneurs who are members of the Women Entrepreneurs Association of Turkey (KAGIDER), the Women Entrepreneur Members of Endeavor Turkey, and the TOBB Women Entrepreneurs. Hierarchical regression analysis was performed to analyze the dataset. Findings: When firm- and the entrepreneur-level characteristics remain under control, women entrepreneurs' political skill shows a moderator role in the relationship between women entrepreneurs' education level and firm performance. Practical Implications: A bachelor's degree or higher, along with political skill, allow women entrepreneurs to increase their firm performance. Furthermore, the higher the political skill, the higher the effect of education level on firm performance. Originality/Value: This is the first study to investigate the moderating role of political skill of women entrepreneurs in the relationship between education level and firm performance. Moreover, political influence and human capital theories are jointly applied to the theoretical model.

Nuket Top
Araştırmada, Bursa ilinde faaliyet gösteren tekstil firmalarında çalışan ustalar (üst) ile onların emri altında çalışan kadın emekçiler arasında yaşanan kişilerarası çatışmanın astın iş tatmini üzerinde etkileri ve bu bağlamda ustabaşının politik yetisinin bu ilişki üzerinde düzenleyici rolü olup olmadığı irdelenmektedir.Araştırma kapsamında 478 emekçi kadın ve 125 ustabaşına ait veriler yüz yüze anket yöntemiyle elde edilmiştir. Ölçeklerin güvenirliği Cronbach Alfa Katsayısı ile geçerlilikleri ise Açıklayıcı ve Doğrulayıcı Faktör analizi ile test edilmiştir. Son olarak araştırmada yer alan hipotezler Process ve HLM (Hiyerarşik Lineer Modelleme) uygulamaları ile test edilmiştir.Analizler sonucunda, Bursa ilinde faaliyet gösteren tekstil firmalarında görev alan kadın işçilerin ustabaşlarıyla yaşadıkları kişilerarası çatışmanın kadın işçilerin iş tatmini üzerinde negatif yönlü etkisi olduğu ortaya çıkarılmıştır. Öte yandan, ustabaşının kadın işçiler tarafından algılanan politik yetisinin kadın işçilerin iş tatmini üzerinde istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı ve pozitif bir etkisi olduğu tespit edilirken ustabaşlarının kendisi tarafından algılanan politik yetisinin kadın işçilerin iş tatmini üzerinde doğrudan anlamlı bir etkisi olmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Dahası, kadın emekçiler ve ustabaşının kendisi tarafından değerlendirilen ustabaşının politik yetisinin bu ilişkide düzenleyici rolü olduğu bulunmuştur.

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.
