The subject of this research; the concept of “sustainable corporate brand” that comes to life with the integration of corporate sustainability and corporate brand concepts. In the international literature, this concept is defined “as a corporate brand that promises sustainability as a core value”. However, since this definition is not comprehensive, a broader definition has been made and a comprehensive literature search has been carried out. The fact that this concept is not examined in detail in the national and international literature is a unique contribution of this study to the literature. Sustainability in the world has begun to be placed at the core of corporate brand strategies. In this context, by examining from different perspectives of sustainable corporate brand, it is aimed to draw a road map for companies that want to build the sustainable corporate brand in Turkey.

Additionally, the mediating role of affective well-being was tested using PROCESS macro for SPSS. As a result, it was concluded that all aspects of job crafting positively related to positive affection while only task crafting and cognitive crafting were significantly related to negative affection.

Abstract

The financial statements prepared in accordance with the Accounting System Implementation Communiqués (MSUGT) used in our country since 1994 and the valuation measures in our tax laws do not meet the requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards (TFRS). Among the entities that are subject to independent audit, Public Interest Organizations report according to TFRS and others report according to the Financial Reporting Standard for Large and Medium Sized Enterprises that are in line with TFRSs. The Financial Reporting Standard for Small and Micro Enterprises has been prepared by the Public Oversight Authority in order to use a reporting framework in compliance with these standards but closer to our MSUGT and tax regulations. Thus, it is aimed that the companies outside the scope of the audit also make financial reporting for information purposes. The purpose of the financial statements prepared in accordance with the standards is not to determine the tax base. Financial statements are prepared in order to provide fair, comparable and appropriate information to the other stakeholders of the enterprise other than the government. With the information in these tables, it is aimed to ensure that business executives and other stakeholders make rational decisions and thus increase the competitiveness of the enterprise. The aim of this study is to explain the comparison of KUMI FRS, which will contribute to the establishment of informational financial reporting, by comparing it with our BOBI FRS and our country tax applications.

Abstract

Capital adequacy ratio is considered as an important indicator in the risk and profitability management of the banks, which are considered as the most fundamental element of the financial system due to their intermediation activities. Turkey has made many regulations for banks’ capital structure after the experienced financial crisis. Since 2006, it is aimed to strengthen the banking system with a minimum capital adequacy ratio (12%) above the standard ratio of 8% set by the Basel criteria. In this sense, it is important to identify the factors that affect the capital adequacy ratio, which is considered as an important tool of risk and profitability management The commercial banks operating in Turkey and whose complete financial data were available were used in the study and panel data analysis was conducted. According to the findings, it was determined that there is a significant relationship between the capital adequacy ratio and the banks’ total asset size, deposit/total asset ratio, loan/total asset ratio, interest margin and non-performing loan/total loan ratios.

Abstract

Banking sector plays a crucial role in the financial system in terms of economic development of a country. The aim of this study is to investigate the determinants of the banking sector profitability in Turkey for the years between 1980 and 2017. We gather the data from the Turkish Statistical Institute (TurkStat) and The Banks Association of Turkey. In this context we use return on assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE) as profitability indicators and form two models separately by taking them as dependent variables. We put both banking sector variables and control variables as independent variables. Within this framework we employ bank size, deposit conversion ratio, and liquidity as banking sector variables; whereas inflation rate, interest rate and exchange rate as control variables. To examine our models, we run a Regression Analysis. According to our findings, macroeconomic indicators such as inflation, interest rates and exchange rates play a significant role in shaping the performance of the banking system. However, banking sector variables such as assets, efficiency and liquidity are more crucial for profitability.

Abstract

The aim of the study is to identify the level of financial inclusion in Turkey and to determine the individual factors affecting the financial inclusion. In addition, factors that hinder the financial inclusion and the individual factors affecting these factors are also investigated. In this study, probit analysis is applied by using the data obtained from World Bank’s 2011 and 2014 Global Findex database. It is determined that saving and credit from financial institutions were increased in Turkey from 2011 to 2014. As a result of the study, it is determined that women have less chance of having a formal account, saving formally and using formal credits. Age has a positive effect on the components of the financial inclusion, but not linear. The positive effect of the education and income level on the financial inclusion is another result of the study. It is established that the barriers of formal account in the financial institution were more prominent in 2014 than in 2011.

Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate risk spillovers between uncertainty about financial and commodity markets and Turkish stock market by using a causality-in-variance test. To this end, we use implied volatility indexes (the implied volatility of the gold, oil, stock, and currency prices from options markets) and Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Turkish stock market index. The volatility model estimates demonstrate that implied volatilities and Turkish stock market index are strongly influenced by long-run volatility. The causality-in-variance test results provide evidence of a significant one-way volatility spillover effect from uncertainty in financial and commodity markets to the Turkish stock market. The results suggest that Turkish stock market returns are highly sensitive to uncertainty shocks in global markets, and hence this high-sensitivity reduces the attractiveness of investments in the Turkish market. Our findings present important implications for the implementation of sound economic policies and for the formation of optimal portfolios.
