(Emerald Group Publishing Limited, 2012) Tuzun, Ipek Kalemci; Kalemci, R. Arzu; 40702; 42537; 03.04. İşletme; 03. İktisadi ve İdari Birimler Fakültesi; 01. Çankaya Üniversitesi
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.
The Paradox Between Institutional Logics in Organizational Fields: The Case of Turkish Military Service Field
(Eskisehir Osmangazi Univ, Fac Education, 2015) Kalemci, Rabia Arzu; Kalemci, Rabia Arzu; Gokoglu, Mustafa Mehmet; Tuzun, Ipek Kalemci; 42537; İşletme; 03.04. İşletme; 03. İktisadi ve İdari Birimler Fakültesi; 01. Çankaya Üniversitesi
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.

Understanding Protestant and Islamic Work Ethic Studies: a Content Analysis of Articles
(Springer, 2019) Kalemci, R. Arzu; Tuzun, Ipek Kalemci; 42537; 03.04. İşletme; 03. İktisadi ve İdari Birimler Fakültesi; 01. Çankaya Üniversitesi
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.
