Analysis of the Relation between Organizational Culture and Alienation in Secondary Educational Institutions
This research in associational research model aims to determine the relation between the organizational culture prevailing in secondary educational institutions and alienation. Research population was composed of 525 teachers employed in 20 secondary high schools in the central district of Siirt in 2015-2016 academic year. Due to the low number of teachers, sampling was not made. “Organizational Culture Scale” developed by Terzi (2005) and “Work Alienation Scale” developed by Elma (2003) were utilized. Descriptive statistical techniques, Correlation Analysis and Path analysis were performed in the research. Results revealed a negative and medium level relation between the organizational culture and alienation. Results also showed that dimensions of organizational culture do not predict alienation to school dimension. Furthermore, it was identified that support culture was not a significant predictor of alienation. Based on the results of the research, school administrators were suggested to incorporate team work into their work, avoid extremely normative practices, and assure an atmosphere enabling teachers to take initiatives
Stakeholders’ Perspectives on Utilization of Logging Residues for Bioenergy in Turkey
Although using logging residues for bioenergy is not a new issue for countries such as Sweden, Finland, Austria, Germany, etc. that are developed in terms of forestry, it is a new issue that requires studying for countries such as Turkey. This study investigates the views of forest engineers working in forest enterprises, researchers working in forestry research institutes and academicians working at universities concerning the use of logging residues for bioenergy that are not currently used in energy production. Within the framework of the study, a questionnaire was sent out to 181 forest engineers, 77 academic staff members and 29 research institute employees, a total of 287 respondents.
According to the results of the study, logging residues that are either left in the forest floor or collected by forest villagers for the purpose of fire wood have a favorable potential for energy and forestry if they are used in bioenergy production. Thus, the issue is substantial and of primary importance for Turkey. On the other hand, there are barriers in developing bioenergy sector and using logging residues for this purpose. In order to remove these barriers, first of all, forestry administration should clarify its strategies and policies related to the issue
Güçlendirici Liderlik, Destekleyici Çalışma Ortamı ve Örgütsel Bağlılık Arasındaki İlişkiler: Rehberlik ve Araştırma Merkezleri (RAM) Örneği
This study aims to investigate the relationship between the empowering leadership styles of the principals of Guidance and Research Centers, the organizational commitment of teachers, and the mediating role of the supportive work environment in this relationship. The sample consisted of 428 teachers working in the Guidance and Research Centers in Türkiye, and was determined according to the cluster sampling method. This study was conducted by using a correlational survey method. The data was collected and maintained using the School Principal Empowering Leadership Scale, Supportive Work Environment Perception Scale, and Organizational Commitment Scale in the 2021–2022 academic year. Regression analysis and path analysis relied on data to determine the direct predictors of empowering leadership and supportive work environment perception on teachers' organizational commitment, and the indirect predictors of empowering leadership through supportive work environment perception on their organizational commitment. We also calculated the correlation coefficients (r) to determine the relationships between variables. According to the results, empowering leadership is a positive and significant predictor of teachers' perceptions of a supportive work environment and organizational commitment. Likewise, teachers' perceptions of a supportive work environment significantly predicted their organizational commitment. Simultaneously, while empowering leadership alone explained 27% of the total variance in teachers' organizational commitment, the variance explained by including perceptions of a supportive work environment in the model was 37%. These results show that principals' empowering leadership behaviors that increase teachers' organizational commitment might affect their perceptions of a supportive work environment.Bu çalışmanın amacı Rehberlik ve Araştırma Merkezleri müdürlerinin güçlendirici liderlik stilleri ile öğretmenlerin örgütsel bağlılıkları arasındaki ilişkiyi ve bu ilişkide destekleyici çalışma ortamının aracı rolünü incelemektir. Araştırmanın örneklemini Rehberlik ve Araştırma Merkezlerinde görevli küme örnekleme yöntemine göre belirlenen 428 öğretmen oluşturmaktadır. Çalışma ilişkisel tarama modeli üzerinden yürütülmüştür. Verilerinin toplanmasında, Okul Müdürü Güçlendirici Liderlik Ölçeği, Destekleyici Çalışma Ortamı Algısı Ölçeği ve Örgütsel Bağlılık Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Değişkenler arasındaki ilişkileri belirlemek için korelasyon katsayıları (r) hesaplanmış; güçlendirici liderliğin ve destekleyici çalışma ortamı algısının örgütsel bağlılık üzerindeki doğrudan yordayıcılığı ile güçlendirici liderliğin destekleyici çalışma ortamı algısı aracılığında öğretmenlerin örgütsel bağlılığı üzerindeki dolaylı yordayıcılığını belirlemek için regresyon ve yol analizlerinden yararlanılmıştır. Araştırmanın sonuçlarına göre güçlendirici liderlik, öğretmenlerin destekleyici çalışma ortamı algılarının ve örgütsel bağlılıklarının pozitif ve anlamlı bir yordayıcısıdır. Bununla birlikte öğretmenlerin destekleyici çalışma ortamı algılarının örgütsel bağlılıklarını pozitif ve anlamlı bir biçimde yordadığı sonucuna da ulaşılmıştır. Aynı zamanda araştırmada, öğretmenlerin örgütsel bağlılığında güçlendirici liderlik yalnız başına toplam varyansın %27’sini açıklarken destekleyici çalışma ortamı algısının modele dâhil olması ile açıklanan varyans %37 çıkmıştır. Araştırmanın bulgularından yola çıkarak öğretmenlerin örgütsel bağlılığını artıran güçlendirici liderlik davranışlarının bu etkiyi öğretmenlerin destekleyici çalışma ortamına yönelik algıları üzerinden gerçekleştirdiği söylenebilir
TEMPORAL AND SPATIAL VARIATIONS OF GROUNDWATER LEVEL AND SALINITY: A CASE STUDY IN THE IRRIGATED AREA OF MENEMEN PLAIN IN WESTERN TURKEY
EFFECTS OF IRRIGATION WITH TREATED DOMESTIC WASTEWATER ON VARIOUS CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF THE SOIL
Investigation of the effect of working capital management on profitability by panel data analysis and multi-criteria decision making techniques
Purpose: The aim of this study is to reveal and compare the effect of working capital management on return on assets with different analysis methods, based on the annual financial statement data of companies in the tourism sector traded in Borsa Istanbul (BIST) in the period 2012-2020. This study aimed to reveal the drawbacks of including in the model variables that are not an element of working capital management.
Methodology: Panel data analysis, the analytical hierarchy process and the fuzzy analytical hierarchy process were used to reveal the effect of working capital management variables on return on assets based on the financial statement data of the companies.
Results: As a result of the analysis, a significant relationship was identified between the rankings made by using the realized return on assets ratios and the rankings obtained by AHP and FAHP, while no significant relationship was found between the rankings obtained by panel data analysis.
Conclusion: Including some variables in the model as a working capital management variable in panel data analysis may cause misinterpretation of the effects of real working capital variables on return on assets. When the model that emerged according to the AHP and FAHP methods was examined, the asset turnover rate and financial leverage ratio variables were determined as the ratios with the lowest effect on return on assets, as the elements of working capital management in the weighting made according to the opinions of the experts
