Şimşek, Tuğçe; Şimşek, Ahmet Bahadir
In this study, the challenges faced by organisations in integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into human resource management (HRM) practises are examined. For that, AI can bring significant benefits, includ¬ing increasing efficiency and decision-making in the HR processes, namely recruitment, performance evaluation and talent development. Its adoption, however, presents many challenges in technological infrastructure, data privacy, ethical, and organizational culture. This chapter investigates these barriers, particularly the importance of proper management changes and the trade-off between human element and AI's capabilities. The article discusses strategies for overcoming these challenges, the importance of practising ethical AI, data security and employee development. This study offers actionable insights for organisations attempting to leverage AI in HRM in a way that can succeed at both the operational and ethical dimensions.

Şenel Tekin, Perihan; Bekar, Fevziye
The aim of this book chapter is to lay the concepts of sustainable development, ecological footprint, carbon footprint, permaculture and biomimicry, which are thought to complement one another and serve almost the same purpose, on the basis of proactive behaviors. Sustainable development means balancing ecological, social, and economic dimensions and meeting the needs of the present without consuming the resources of future generations. The ecological footprint is an indicator of sustainable development and involves calculations relevant to the world’s energy consumption, capacity and overall biomass efficiency. A carbon footprint is a type of ecological footprint, while biomimicry involves the emulation of nature to create pathways for crafting innovative designs. The discipline of permaculture derives from permanent culture and agriculture and concerns about creating sustainable living spaces. In this regard, sustainability may be ensured with the inclusion of proactive mindsets as opposed to reactive perspectives to facilitate individual ownership of sustainability within social lifestyles and business environments.
- Kitap BölümüAçık Erişim2025Sentiment analysis in employee experience using natural language processing and machine learning
Şimşek, Tugçe; Şimşek, Ahmet Bahadir
This chapter focuses on the use of sentiment analysis in the handling of employee experience. When organisations start thinking about the experience of their employees as a factor that influences performance and turnover, sentiment analysis provides a quantitative way of measuring emotions, satisfaction and engagement of employees. This chapter attentions on several NLP techniques that can be employed in the analysis of the employee feedback which include tokenization, stop- word removal and vectorization. It also looks at how other machine learning models such as Naive Bayes, Support Vector Machines, and Long Short- Term Memory can be used to categorize emotions as positive, negative, or neutral. In addition, the problem of language, culture, and data bias is described, and the ways to solve them are also described. The future potential of the real- time emotion analysis and the use of sentiment data along with the organizational KPIs for improving the management of employees' experience is depicted.

Tang, Thomas Li-Ping; Li, Zhen; Özbek, Mehmet Ferhat; Lim, Vivien Kim Geok; Teo, Thompson Sian Hin; Ansari, Mahfooz A.; Sutarso, Toto; Garber, Ilya E.; Chiu, Randy Ki-Kwan; Charles-Pauvers, Brigitte
Corruption involves greed, money, and risky decision-making. We explore the love of money, pay satisfaction, probability of risk, and dishonesty across cultures. Avaricious monetary aspiration breeds unethicality. Prospect theory frames decisions in the gains–losses domain and high–low probability. Pay dissatisfaction (in the losses) excites dishonesty in the name of justice at the individual level. Corruption Perceptions Index, CPI, signals a high–low probability of getting caught for dishonesty at the country level. We theorize: Decision-makers adopt avaricious love of money aspiration as a lens and frame dishonesty in the gains–losses domain (pay satisfaction–dissatisfaction, Level 1) and high–low probability (CPI, Level 2) to maximize expected utility and ultimate serenity. We challenge the myth: Pay satisfaction curbs dishonesty across nations consistently. Cross-level three-dimensional visualization demonstrates (6500 managers in 32 countries across six continents): With high aspiration, pay dissatisfaction excites the highest- (third-highest) avaricious justice-seeking dishonesty in high (medium) CPI nations; pay satisfaction provokes the second-highest avaricious opportunity-seizing dishonesty in low CPI entities—maximizing expected utility. Low aspiration and high pay satisfaction consistently create low dishonesty—achieving ultimate serenity. We expand prospect theory from a micro and individual-level theory to a cross-level theory of monetary wisdom across 32 nations, providing novel insights to business ethics, the environment, and responsibility.

Yalvaç, Güler; Atalik, Özlem
While new generation technologies are produced, the readiness of the society in which they are produced to the technology to be presented is an important factor that will enable enterprises to obtain maximum benefit from the technology product. It is possible to estimate the readiness of a society for technology according to the level of technology readiness. Resistance to technology refers to the level of adoption or non-adoption of technology by individuals. In this context, the aim of this study is to examine the relationship between technological resistance and technological readiness of passengers travelling to Istanbul Airport. For this purpose, a questionnaire study was conducted on 101 people from the Istanbul Airport departing passenger group. According to the research findings, it was concluded that there is a statistically significant, negative, and weak relationship between technology readiness and technological resistance.

Meydan, Bilge; Şimşek, Ahmet Bahadir
This chapter aims to obtain various inferences about the health systems of countries by using multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) methods on drug consumption data. Pharmaceutical consumption is seen as a useful resource for assessing the performance of health systems. This chapter aims to comprehensively analyse the health systems of countries by combining CoCoSo and TOPSIS-Sort-B methods. Pharmaceutical consumption will be used to assess the performance of countries' health systems for each group within the framework of anatomical therapeutic chemical (ATC) classification. For each ATC class, countries will be ranked by CoCoSo method and classified as good-medium-poor by TOPSIS-S ort-B method. The findings have the potential to be a valuable resource for health systems managers, policy makers, health economists, researchers, and other relevant stakeholders. It will also serve as a practical guide for researchers who want to apply MCDM in the field of health.

Selimoğlu, Seval Kardeş; Altunel, Mehtap; Yeşilçelebi, Gül
The health sector has a significant impact on human life. Digital technologies such as blockchain, artificial intelligence, big data, machine learning, and the Internet of Things have had an impact on many economies and professions. One of them is the field of accounting and the accounting profession. Since the existence of an effective accounting system is important to the success of organizations, accounting practices come to the fore at this point. Technology benefits are listed in many areas in the health sector, such as sharing insurance claims between parties with blockchain technology, machine learning and data analysis for data privacy, data mining, and detection of fraud. This study, besides explaining the concept of medical accounting in the health sector, aims to discuss the technological developments and benefits in the field of accounting in the health sector within the framework of cost accounting, management accounting, and fraud prevention.
- Kitap BölümüYalnız künye2024Behavioral economics and Monetary Wisdom across 32 cultures: Good apples enjoy a good quality of life in good barrels
Tang, Thomas Li-Ping; Sutarso, Toto; Ansari, Mahfooz A.; Lim, Vivien Kim Geok; Teo, Thompson Sian Hin; Arias-Galicia, Fernando; Garber, Ilya E.; Chiu, Randy Ki-Kwan; Charles-Pauvers, Brigitte; Luna-Arocas, Roberto
Monetary Wisdom asserts that individuals apply their deep-rooted values (ardent monetary aspirations) to frame critical concerns in the immediate-proximal and omnibus-distal contexts and strategically maximize expected utility (achieve financial goals) and ultimate serenity (happiness). This study explores the bright side of Monetary Wisdom and behavioral economics, frames money attitude in the context of pay and life satisfaction, and controls money at the micro and individual level (Z income within each country) and the macro and national and global level (GDP per capita). We theorize: Managers with low love of money motive but high stewardship behavior will have high subjective well-being: pay satisfaction and quality of life. Data collected from 6586 managers in 32 cultures across 6 continents support our theory. Interestingly, GDP per capita is related to life satisfaction, but not to pay satisfaction. Individual income is related to both life and pay satisfaction. Neither GDP nor income is related to the Happiness construct (money makes people happy). For the whole sample, low motives, high stewardship behaviors, and high cognitions identify the latent Monetary Wisdom (MW), which, in turn, leads to higher pay satisfaction than life satisfaction. Results of our formative model challenge the notion that motives and cognitions are consistent in predict outcomes. Our theoretical model across three GDP groups (high, medium, and low GDP levels) offers additional innovative discoveries: In high GDP (rich) entities, “high income” not only reduces aspirations—“Rich, Motivator, and Power,” but also promotes stewardship behavior—“Factors Budget, Give/Donate, and Contribute” and cognitive meaning, “Factor Achievement.” After controlling income, we demonstrate the bright side of Monetary Wisdom: Low love of money motive but high stewardship behavior define Monetary Wisdom, which contributes to higher life satisfaction than pay satisfaction. “Good apples enjoy a good quality of life in good barrels”. This notion adds another explanation to managers’ low magnitude of dishonesty in entities with high Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) (risk aversion for gains in the high probability context). In medium GDP countries, high income is negatively related to Factors Motivator (motive), Budget (behavior), and Power (cognition). Managers enjoy higher life satisfaction than pay satisfaction. However, in low GDP (poor) entities, high income is related to poor Budgeting skills and escalated Happiness. Interestingly, income leads to the notion of high Happiness (cognition) for managers in low GDP countries only. Managers experience equal satisfaction with pay and life. Results of Monetary Wisdom add a new vocabulary to the conversation of monetary aspirations, intelligence, income, GDP, happiness, subjective well-being, good and bad apples, good and bad barrels, corruption, and behavioral ethics.
- Kitap BölümüYalnız künye2024Behavioral economics and Monetary Wisdom: The Enron Effect—Love of money, Corporate Ethical Values, Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI), and dishonesty across 31 geopolitical entities
Tang, Thomas Li-Ping; Sutarso, Toto; Ansari, Mahfooz A.; Lim, Vivien Kim Geok; Teo, Thompson Sian Hin; Arias-Galicia, Fernando; Garber, Ilya E.; Chiu, Randy Ki-Kwan; Charles-Pauvers, Brigitte; Luna-Arocas, Roberto
Monetary Wisdom asserts that individuals apply their deep-rooted values (the love of money attitudes, avaricious monetary aspirations) to frame critical concerns in the immediate-proximal and omnibus-distal contexts and strategically select certain options to maximize expected utility and ultimate serenity across context, people, and time at the individual, organizational, and national-global levels. This study explores the dark side of decision-making, e.g., avaricious monetary aspirations and corruption (dishonesty). Corruption involves greed, money, and risky decision-making. It is a risky prospect, involving a cost-benefit analysis of self-interest. We frame good or bad barrels in the environmental context as a proxy of high or low probability of getting caught for dishonesty, respectively. We theorize: Two levels of the subjective norm—perceived Corporate Ethical Values at the micro level (CEV, Level 1) and Corruption Perceptions Index at the macro level (CPI, Level 2), collected from multiple sources, jointly impact the magnitude and intensity of the relationships between love of money and dishonesty. Based on 6382 managers in 31 geopolitical entities across 6 continents, our cross-level three-way interaction effect illustrates the following discoveries: As expected, managers in good barrels (high CEV/high CPI), mixed barrels (low CEV/high CPI or high CEV/low CPI), and bad barrels (low CEV/low CPI) display a low, medium, and high magnitude of dishonesty, respectively. Context matters. With high CEV, the intensity is the same across cultures. With low CEV, the intensity of dishonesty is the highest in high CPI entities (risk seeking in the high probability context)—the Enron Effect, but the lowest in low CPI entities (risk aversion in the low probability context). Interestingly, CPI has a strong impact on the magnitude of dishonesty, whereas CEV has a strong impact on the intensity of dishonesty. We demonstrate dishonesty in light of monetary values and two frames of social norms, revealing critical implications to the field of business ethics. This chapter makes robust theoretical and practical contributions to Monetary Wisdom and business ethics.
- Kitap BölümüAçık Erişim2024Does interpersonal justice enhance organizational loyalty? A theory of justice, organizational citizenship behavior, and individualism: Testimony from Kyrgyzstan
Özbek, Mehmet Ferhat; Yoldash, Mohammad Asif; Tang, Thomas Li-Ping
Research suggests that organizational justice has important impacts on work-related attitudes and behaviors, such as organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). In this article, we explore the extent to which individualism moderates the relationship between organizational justice (procedural, distributive, and interactional justice) and OCB (organizational obedience, participation, and loyalty) among citizens in Kyrgyzstan. Specifically, we are interested to know: Which aspects of justice perceptions excite organizational loyalty? We make additional contributions to the literature because most global researchers know very little about how these Western management constructs prevail in this former Soviet Union country, Kyrgyzstan, an under-researched and under-represented region of the world. Results of our data collected from 402 managers and employees in Kyrgyzstan offer the following discoveries. All three justice constructs are related to OCB. Individualism moderates the relationships between (1) distributive justice and organizational participation, (2) distributive justice and organizational loyalty, and (3) interactional justice and organizational loyalty. We develop an intricate theory with provocative implications: Procedural justice produces obedience only and has no impact on organizational participation and loyalty. High distributive justice enhances high loyalty for people with low individualism. High interactional justice promotes high organizational loyalty for people with high individualism. For “individualists,” interactional justice inspires loyalty. Interestingly, distributive justice “can only buy” participation, but “can’t buy” loyalty. Therefore, for individualists, interactional justice outweighs distributive justice for enhancing organizational loyalty. Based on Kyrgyz citizens’ justice, OCB, and individualism, our theory reveals novel insights regarding culture, money attitude, and intrinsic motivation and provides critical and practical implications to the field of business ethics.

Doğan, Kadir Caner
The ombudsman is an institution that accepts citizens' complaints about bad governance practices and the behavior of public administration. Today, it is seen in almost all states of the world. One of its application areas is universities. University ombudsman offices in some parts of the world mostly solve problems between students and the administration. Although there is no example of a university ombudsman in Turkey yet, there is cooperation between the Ombudsman Institution of Turkey and universities. Indeed, ombudsman student clubs established within universities in Turkey create mutual cooperation and synergy between the two institutions. This study aims to identify the ombudsman student clubs in universities in Turkey and evaluate their activities, projects, and academic contributions to the ombudsman. In this way, it is aimed to analyze the contributions of universities, which are higher education institutions, to the ombudsman, their awareness in society and their benefits to justice at the educational level. Document analysis based on qualitative analysis will be used as a method in the research. It is aimed to collect the necessary data, documents and data through contact with ombudsman clubs via e-mail, web, newsletter, report or telephone. In addition, the necessary activities, projects and data will be obtained from the Ombudsman Institution of Turkey, and the information will be analyzed.

Akyürek, Suat
The demand for gastronomy tourism has been increasing in recent years, and gastronomy tours and festivals are marketed as an important gastronomic product in meeting this demand. However, research on the motivation and expectations of tourists participating in gastronomy festivals are still not sufficient in the literature. In this study, it is aimed to determine the motivation and expectations of tourists who participated in the tours organized under the name of gastronomic festival tours. Face to face interviews were carried out with 23 tourists who participated in three different gastronomic festival tours arranged in Turkey. In the light of the findings, the motivations of tourists participating in gastronomic festival tours were evaluated within the scope of push and pull factors. Expectations of tourists from gastronomic festival tours were classified into five categories as general services, relations with other people, environmental conditions and internal expectations, which were especially for products/activities that are the focal point of the tours.

Battal, Fetullah; Öz, Halil H.
When the historical development of management is examined, it is seen that every age has created a management and organizational structure suitable for its own conditions. Therefore, today, management and organizational structures are experiencing a digital transformation as a necessity of the age. From this point of view, this study was carried out as a conceptual analysis in order to conceptually examine new terms such as digital management, digital transformation, and digital leader that emerged with digitalization in management structures to explain the change in management structures by comparing them with previous management structures and to eliminate the ambiguities about the concept of digitalization. In addition, another aim of this study is to compile explanations in the literature about the metaverse, which is described as a three-dimensional virtual world, and to evaluate the innovations, opportunities, concerns, and criticisms brought by the metaverse application.
