İç halkaya dâhil olmak: Türkiye’deki büyük aile holdinglerinde profesyonel yöneticiler

Bu çalışmada, iç halka fikrini Türkiye’deki büyük aile holdingleri ortamına taşıyıp, görgül olarak inceliyoruz. Sorduğumuz soru, holdingin başında bulunan aile üyesinin etrafındaki iç halkaya dâhil olabilen profesyonel yöneticileri hangi iş ve eğitim deneyimlerinin ayırt ettiğidir. Bulgular, iç halkaya girenlerin uzun holding kıdemine ve devlet deneyimine sahip olmaları ihtimalinin diğer üst düzey yöneticilere kıyasla daha yüksek olduğunu göstermektedir. Yurtdışında çalışma deneyimi ile iç halka üyeliği arasında zayıf bir ilişki vardır. Bu sonuçlar, kuramsal temel olarak aldığımız iki kurumsalcı yaklaşımdan ulusal kurumsalcılığa, iktisadi olanına kıyasla daha fazla destek sağlamaktadır. Yöneticilerin eğitim geçmişine dair, yine bu iki yaklaşıma dayalı, hipotezlerimiz ise görgül destek görmemektedir.Publisher's Versio

Kurumsal ortamda degişim ve büyük aile holdingleri bünyesindeki şirketlerin yönetim kurullarında ‘icrada görevli olmayan’ ve ‘bağımsız’ üyeler = Changes in the institutional environment and "Non-Executive" and "Independent" directors on the boards of firms affiliated to large family business groups

This study examines the response of large family business groups with respect to the boards of their affiliated firms to the recent strengthening of corporate governance discourse in Turkey and the governance principles introduced for listed companies. Our findings show that boards are largely composed of non-executive directors. However, these are either members of the controlling family or hold executive positions in the central administrative structure of the group or other affiliated firms and can therefore not be considered as outsiders. Independent directors are almost non-existent. Most of the dependent outsiders limited in number are either retired or work as consultants, of which, a significant proportion comes from public sector backgrounds, including active involvement in politics

Gender as Symbolic Capital and Violence: The Case of Corporate Elites in Turkey

Based on a Bourdieusian approach, drawing on qualitative analyses of 63 life interviews, our study demonstrates that gender is performed as both symbolic capital and violence by corporate elites within the dominant ideologies of patriarchy and family in Turkey. Our analysis reveals that, in the male-dominated context of Turkey, female elites appear to favour male alliances as a tactical move in order to acquire and maintain status in their organizations, whereas male elites appear to remain blind to the privileges and constraints of their own gendered experience of symbolic capital and violence. Our study also illustrates that gender order is still preserved, despite beliefs to the contrary that equality in education, skills, experience and job performance may liberate women and men from gender-based outcomes at work.GSU Research Fun

Devlet ve Vakıf Üniversitelerinde Örgütsel Adalet Algısının Lider-Üye Etkileşimi Üzerindeki Etkisi

This study investigates the impact of organizational justice on the quality of leader–member exchange relationships in the Turkish higher education context. Public and foundation universities are compared, as extant literature reveals significant differences between them. The study employs a sequential mixed-method design. Surveys from 182 academicians from faculties of economics and administrative sciences in Istanbul are collected through key contact persons or via e-mails. Surveys are complemented by 17 face-to-face semi-structured interviews, most of which were conducted at the interviewees’ universities. Findings point to a strong impact of informational justice that is modestly complemented by procedural justice on the quality of the leader–member relationship in public universities. In foundation universities, however, procedural, informational and interpersonal justice dimensions influence the quality of the leader–member relationship in a balanced manner. The study also has implications for university administrators.Bu çalışma, örgütsel adalet algısının, lider-üye etkileşim ilişkisi üzerindeki etkisini Türkiye’deki yükseköğretim ortamında incelemektedir. Mevcut yazının aralarında pek çok farklılıklara işaret ettiği devlet ve vakıf üniversiteleri karşılaştırılmaktadır. Çalışmada ardışık karma yöntem araştırma tasarımı kullanılmıştır. İstanbul’daki üniversitelerin İktisadi ve İdari Bilimler Fakülteleri’nde çalışmakta olan 182 akademisyenden, o fakültelerde çalışmakta olan bir öğretim elemanı aracılığıyla veya elektronik posta yoluyla anket toplanmıştır. Nicel veriler, yüz yüze yapılan 17 mülakattan elde edilen nitel veri ile güçlendirilmiştir. Görüşmelerin büyük çoğunluğu mülakat yapılan kişinin çalıştığı üniversitede gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bulgular devlet üniversitelerinde, lider-üye etkileşim ilişkisi üzerinde bilgisel adaletin güçlü ve işlemsel adaletin nispeten daha zayıf etkisi olduğunu göstermektedir. Vakıf üniversitelerinde ise işlemsel, bilgisel ve kişilerarası adalet lider-üye etkileşim ilişkisi üzerinde benzer ölçülerde etki göstermektedirler. Çalışmanın sonuçlarının, üniversite yöneticilerine katkı yapabileceği düşünülmektedir

Neuropsychiatric outcomes and caregiver distress in primary progressive aphasia

Mustafa Seckin has been supported by a grant from the EC-FP7 co-funded Brain Circulation Scheme (116C020).Background: In this study, we aimed to outline the neuropsychiatric consequences of primary progressive aphasia (PPA) and to understand how neuropsychiatric symptomatology affects distress in caregivers. Methods: The Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) including the distress index (NPI-Distress) was used. Additional information about the caregiver burden was obtained using Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI). NPI, NPI-Distress, and ZBI data from 17 patients with a clinical diagnosis of PPA were compared with 10 stroke aphasia patients. Neuropsychiatric symptomatology was investigated based on three clusters; Mood, Frontal/Comportmental, and Psychotic/Disruptive. Additionally, the Activities of Daily Living Questionnaire (ADLQ) was used to outline the functional impairment. Twelve healthy controls were included to compare the neurocognitive test scores with PPA and stroke aphasia groups. Results: A greater number of neuropsychiatric symptoms were observed in the PPA group compared to the stroke aphasia group. The number of symptoms in Mood, and Frontal/Comportmental clusters were greater than the number of symptoms in Psychotic/Disruptive clusters in the PPA group, whereas no significant relationship between the number of symptoms and symptom clusters was found in the stroke aphasia group. In the PPA group, a strong correlation was found between the NPI-Frequency × Severity scores and the NPI-Distress scores. Moreover, the NPI-Distress scores in the PPA group strongly correlated with the ZBI scores. Scores for anxiety, irritability/lability, and apathy had a stronger correlation with the NPI-Distress scores compared to the other NPI symptoms. The Communication subscale was the most impaired domain in the PPA group. Travel, and Employment and Recreation subscales showed greater functional impairment in the stroke aphasia group compared to the PPA group. Conclusions: Neuropsychiatric symptoms in PPA in our study were more frequent than previously reported. Furthermore, the distress index of the NPI was not only correlated with the severity of the neuropsychiatric symptoms but also reflected the overall burden on the caregivers in the PPA group.Publisher's VersionQ4WOS:000871422800001PMID: 3627349
