Article Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) Reports Between 2018 and 2023: Malmquist Index Analysis for the Performance of OECD Countries(Wiley, 2026) Kalemci, R. Arzu; Unsal, Mehmet Guray; Alp, Ihsan; Celik, Busra Agan; Dalkilic, Altay Ogulcan; Agan Celik, BusraIn 2015, the United Nations (UN) adopted the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), calling for urgent action to end poverty, reduce inequality, and secure a sustainable future. Within this global agenda, the commitment of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is particularly significant given its institutional capacity and international influence. This study examines Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) reports for 2018-2023 using the Malmquist Productivity Index (MPI) as an alternative performance measurement tool. The MPI allows assessment of annual changes in total factor productivity and efficiency differences across OECD members. Rather than directly measuring absolute progress toward the SDGs, the analysis evaluates relative efficiency dynamics among countries in transforming sustainability-related indicators over time. The results provide comparative insights into how OECD countries improve or deteriorate in their relative sustainability performance within the observed period. The results show that OECD countries display uneven progress, with some improving while others stagnate or decline, and reveal persistent disparities in efficiency and productivity. By providing a dynamic and comparative evaluation, the study contributes to quantitative SDG monitoring and offers insights for policymakers seeking to enhance sustainable development strategies.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 3Institutional Change in the Turkish Film Industry (1950-2006): Social Exclusion Impact of Globalization(Ankara Haci Bayram veli Univ, 2011) Kalemci, Rabia Arzu; Kalemci, R. Arzu; Ozen, Sukru; İşletmeThis 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.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Does the Fuzzy Logic Model Explains More? Moderating Effect of Personality on the Relationship Between Sr-Hrm and Job Performance(Emerald Publishing, 2025) Ozkan-Canbolat, Ela; Kalemci, R. Arzu; Kalemci-Tuzun, IpekPurpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the moderating effect of personality traits on social responsibility-oriented human resources management (SR-HRM) practices and job performance. Design/methodology/approach: The sample of the study consists of 442 employees working in firms developing knowledge and innovation-based systems in Ankara (Turkey). The strengths of this study stem from its methodology, which contributes to the literature in terms of analysis comparing linear and fuzzy set qualitative comparative analyzes (fsQCA). Findings: Both linear analyses and fsQCA results show the moderating effect of conscientiousness on the relationship between job performance and SR-HRM. Both models demonstrate the impact of agreeableness on business performance. Study results indicate that linear and fsQCA examine the moderating effect of conscientiousness in the same way as the literature. The linear analysis results differ from fsQCA, which examined the moderating effect of compatibility in this study. The fsQCA results of this study show that SR-HRM affects job performance when extraversion and conscientiousness are taken into account. Research limitations/implications: Further research may compare linear and fuzzy logic models about moderating and mediating effects. Future researchers may highlight the increasing importance of linear and fsQCA in any organizational behavior or organizational theory subject. Practical implications: The main implication is that managers should consider the significant impacts of effective SR-HRM development on employees’ job performance. Personality traits should be taken into account in HRM processes such as recruitment and retention. Social implications: The main contribution of the current study is the insight it provides into the moderating effects of the big five personality traits on the relationship between job performance and SR-HRM and how they differ in the linear model and fsQCA. Originality/value: The current study contributes to the relevant literature by presenting the research design and questions. Using a multi-method approach, this research provides a better understanding of patterns between variables and contributes to the existing literature. © 2024, Emerald Publishing Limited.Article Understanding of Business Ethics in Nations Through a Comparison of American and Turkish Business Ethics Literature(IGIAD-Turkish Entrepreneurship & Business Ethics Assoc, 2024) Kocaömer, Neslihan; Kalemci, R. Arzu; Ozkan, IlaydaThis study aims to contribute to field studies by discussing how the sources of hypernorms in different countries with different cultural contexts affect different understanding of business ethics based on a content anal- ysis of articles published in Turkey and the United States of America retrieved from academic databases querying ‘business ethics’ in their titles. Results for Turkey show that the historically- and culturally-rooted understanding of sovereign state manifests itself both in its national business system, paternalistic features and a high-power-dis- tance society. As a result of the sovereign state ideology, the dominant local economic community in Turkey is the state which can lay down ethical norms for its members through micro-social contracts. This ultimately lays the groundwork for the emergence of a context-specific business ethics approach. By contrast, the dominant local economic community seems to be the corporations in the USA where the micro-social contract may include that establishing strong ethical principles is the responsibility of corporations as the state does not fully regulate the relationship between individuals and businesses.Article Citation - WoS: 1Local Actors' Actions in Turkish Cinema During the 1990s: a Political Economy Perspective(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2019) Kalemci, R. ArzuThis study analyzes changes in Turkish cinema in the 1990s. During this time, Turkish cinema was exposed to changes resulting from globalization and the foreign domination of cinema that came along with it. More recently, Turkish cinema has seen noticeable growth. By adopting a political economy perspective, this study investigates how the local actors of Turkish cinema, which were on the defensive, were able to overcome significant challenges.Article Citation - WoS: 30Citation - Scopus: 35Understanding Protestant and Islamic Work Ethic Studies: a Content Analysis of Articles(Springer, 2019) Kalemci, R. Arzu; Tuzun, Ipek Kalemci; Kalemci Tuzun, IpekThis 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.Article Citation - WoS: 30Citation - Scopus: 35Employee Deviant Behavior: Role of Culture and Organizational Relevant Support(Emerald Group Publishing Ltd, 2019) Kalemci, R. Arzu; Kalemci-Tuzun, Ipek; Ozkan-Canbolat, ElaPurpose 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.Article Citation - WoS: 70Citation - Scopus: 85Organizational and Supervisory Support in Relation To Employee Turnover Intentions(Emerald Group Publishing Limited, 2012) Tuzun, Ipek Kalemci; Kalemci, R. ArzuPurpose - 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.
