A Content Analysis of Sustainable Development in the Tourism Literature
(Taylor&Francis, 2019) Kalemci, R. Arzu; 42537
This study examines what fundamental issues are addressed in the tourism literature for defining sustainable development. By adopting a descriptive approach with a content analysis, 221 articles with the keywords “sustainable development” in their titles are analyzed in the current study. This study argues that although developmental and environmental dynamics is crucial, however, organizational dynamics of sustainable development should also be emphasized in the tourism literature. This study also shows that sustainability for companies operating in the tourism sector has a legitimating effect both at the organizational level and within the organization. © 2020 selection and editorial matter, Ipek Kalemci Tüzün, Mehmet Ergül and Colin Johnson; individual chapters, the contributors.

(Emerald Group Publishing LTD, 2019) Kalemci, R. Arzu; Kalemci Tüzün, İpek; Özkan Canbolat, Ela; 42537
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to increase the knowledge and understanding of organizational and supervisory support in the context of employee deviant workplace behavior (DWB) by examining the potential associations of employees' cultural value orientations. This paper aims to: clarify DWB; review perceived organizational support (POS) and perceived supervisory support (PSS); discuss the meaning of employees' cultural value orientations (individualism-collectivism, power distance and paternalism); use the fuzzy logic model to analyze relationships between DWB and POS, as well as PSS and employees' cultural value orientations. Design/methodology/approach This research applies a fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis. Findings The results show the role of employee perceived organizational and supervisory support and cultural dimension (power distance and paternalism) configurations on employee DWB. Originality/value The main originality of this study is to further increase the understanding of organizational and supervisory support in the context of employee DWB by examining the potential associations of employees' cultural value orientations. This study extends the previous research by providing evidence that organizational and supervisory support influences employees' DWB.
Institutional change in the Turkish film industry (1950-2006): social exclusion impact of globalization
(Türkiye Orta Doğu Amme İdaresi Enstitüsü, 2011) Kalemci, R. Arzu; Özen, Şükrü; 42537; 26234
This study examines the impact of globalization on the organization of production chain in the Turkish film industry. Adopting the historical institutionalist approach, the study examines the institutional change in the organization of production, distribution and exhibition chain in the Turkish film industry for the period of 1950-2006. The main finding of the study is that as a result of opening up the industry to the foreign direct investment in 1989, the organization of production chain evolves from a network structure dominated by regional distributors to a hierarchical network structure dominated by the big US film companies. Another finding is that the multiplex type of film theaters particularly located in big cities emerges as a supplementary form to the theaters with single screen that has been widespread in the previous period. This leads to an increase in the number of cities without theaters. The study emphasizes that the social exclusion manifested by increasing 'theaterlessness' is inherent within the multiplex type of film theater diffused through globalization

Organizational and supervisory support in relation to employee turnover intentions
(Emerald Group Publishing Limited, 2012) Kalemci Tüzün, İpek; Kalemci, R. Arzu; 40702; 42537
Purpose - The present paper aims to examine the relationship between perceived organizational support (POS), perceived supervisory support (PSS) and turnover intentions. The paper also aims to investigate whether employee's individual cultural values regarding collectivism and individualism moderate the relationship between POS and turnover intentions. Design/methodology/approach - Data were obtained utilizing survey from a sample of 304 full-time employed adults working in insurance companies in Turkey. Employees completed regular survey that contained measures of the constructs of interest of this study. Findings - Results revealed that employees who perceive high levels of PSS but report low levels of POS will also report high levels of turnover intentions compared to employees who perceive low PSS and low POS. Practical implications - For increasing POS to be successful, managers must strive to find out the way to increase their social support, and then tailor support accordingly. Managers may benefit from considering cultural values during the support process. Furthermore organizations may develop different support policies for employees. Originality/value - The study's findings add to the growing body of research concluding that supervisor-related perceptions and attitudes can shape organization-related perceptions and attitudes
Örgütsel Alanda Kurumsal Mantıklar Arası Oluşan Çelişki: Türk Askerlik Hizmeti Alanı Örneği
(2015) Tüzün Kalemci, İpek; Kalemci, R. Arzu; Gökoğlu, Mustafa Mehmet; 42537
Bu çalışmada farklı kurumsal mantıkların birlikte var olduğu Türk askerlik hizmeti alanında egemen mantığın etkisini sürdürdüğü dönem içerisinde alternatif mantıkların etkinleştirilmesine yol açan koşulların neler olduğu açıklığa kavuşturulmaktadır. Ayrıca Türk askerlik hizmeti alanında örgütsel faaliyetleri yönlendiren egemen bir mantık olan zorunlu askerlik hizmeti mantığının, profesyonel askerlik hizmeti mantığı ve bedelli askerlik hizmeti mantığı olarak tanımlanan alternatif mantıklar ile ilişkisi incelenmektedir. Bu anlamda Türk askerlik hizmeti alanının incelenmesi, egemen ve alternatif mantıkların birbirlerini desteklemeleri sayesinde örgütsel alanda oluşabilecek kalıcı bir dönüşümden ziyade, alanın durağanlığını ve sürdürülebilirliğini nasıl koruduklarının anlaşılmasına katkıda bulunması açısından önemli görülmektedir.
The paradox between institutional logics in organizational fields:the case of turkish military service field
(Eskisehir Osmangazi Univ, 2015) Kalemci, R. Arzu; Gökoğlu, M. M.; Tüzün, I. K.; 42537
Turkish military services field can be conceptualized for embracing two distinct and inconsistent types of institutional logics, namely; mandatory military service logic as the dominant and pragmatic logics as the alternatives. We examine the relationship between the dominant logic which determines legitimate organizational activities and alternative logics which are activated sporadically in the field of Turkish military services. From this standpoint, the circumstances whereby pragmatic logics as alternative institutional logics become effective in the field without devitalizing the dominant logic is explored. Broadly, the results indicate that dominant and alternative logics can support each other in order to preserve field's static condition, rather than interfere with each other so as to induce a permanent transformation.
Türkiye'de Stratejik Yönetim Alanının Kapsamını Belirlemeye Yönelik Bir Araştırma
(2005) Duman Atakan, Şirin; Kalemci, R. Arzu; Çakar, Mehmet; 42537
Genç olarak adlandırabileceğimiz stratejik yönetim alanın tanımı kendi yazınımızda olduğu kadar yabancı yazında da tartışılmaktadır. Nag ve diğerleri (2005), Amerika yazınını ele aldıkları çalışmalarında strateji kavramının yönetim alanında ne anlama geldiğini ve hangi konu başlıkları altında çalışıldığını belirlemişlerdir. Bu çalışma ise Nag ve diğerlerinin (2005) yapmış oldukları çalışmayı kaynak almak üzere, Türk yazarlar tarafından yönetim alanında stratejik yönetim kavramının nasıl anlamlandırıldığını göstermeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda, CATA yazılımı kullanılarak içerik analizi yapılmıştır. Böylece, stratejik yönetimin kendine özgü kelimeleri belirlenmiş ve bu kelimelerin gruplanması ile Türk yazarların anlamlandırmalarından doğan bir stratejik yönetim tanımına ulaşılmıştır.
Understanding Protestant and Islamic Work Ethic Studies: A Content Analysis of Articles
(Springer, 2019) Kalemci, R. Arzu; Tüzün, İpek Kalemci; 42537
This study focuses on two main arguments about the secularization of Protestant work ethic (PWE) and the uniqueness of Islamic work ethic (IWE). By adopting a linguistic point of view, this study aims to grasp a common understanding of PWE and IWE in the field of work ethic research. For this purpose, 109 articles using the keywords PWE and IWE in their titles were analyzed using content analysis. The findings support the argument that emphasizes universally shared values of PWE. In addition, the findings reveal that IWE provides a unique perspective on how to improve organizational performance, but at the same time differs in work orientation and commitment across cultures.
