Financial development, defined as the growth of all elements within a financial system, can have an impact on various macroeconomic factors. Funds raised through financial development can be used to finance new investments needed for economic growth. As a result, new tax jurisdictions are created, and tax revenues increase. The aim of this study is to explore the causality relationship between financial development and tax revenues in Türkiye using up-to-date methods. Annual data on Türkiye’s financial development index and tax revenue/GDP ratio for the period 1985-2021 are used. In order to determine the relationship between financial development and tax revenue, firstly, the stationarity of the series is analyzed using the two-break Narayan-Popp unit root tests that take structural breaks into account. Then, the existence of a causality relationship is analyzed using Hatemi-J asymmetric causality tests. According to the unit root test results, the series is stationary when the first difference is taken. According to the findings of the Hatemi-J test, there is no causality relationship from all shocks of financial development to all shocks of tax revenues, when the other direction of causality is analyzed, it is concluded that there is no causality relationship from all shocks in tax revenues to all shocks in financial development.

This research examines the dynamic relationship between economic policy uncertainty (EPU) and initial public offering (IPO) volume in the United States from 1990 to 2020. Employing time-series econometric methods, we find that EPU has a significant negative effect on IPO activities. According to impulse responses, the number of IPOs significantly reacts to the innovations on EPU within the next 1 to 4 months and approaches the new equilibrium in 6 to 8 months. However, EPU does not contribute to forecast error variance decompositions of the number of IPOs. Our empirical results also show that the number of IPOs switches between low-mean/high-variance and high-mean/low-variance regimes. The results have some useful implications for timing IPOs in terms of economic policy uncertainty.

Responsible leadership entails balancing the needs of various stakeholders, yet resource constraints and the pursuit of visible benefits for both the community and the organization pose challenges. This study proposes a methodology to identify the most essential and impactful responsibilities for leaders. Utilizing the Delphi technique, decision making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL), and analytical network process (ANP), data were collected from 40 respondents representing diverse stakeholder groups. The study first identified five major criteria through Delphi technique which included: (a) needs of the surrounding community, (b) areas with minimal government support, (c) enhancement of organizational image, (d) contribution to organizational performance, and (e) quantity of resources required. DEMATEL analysis revealed that criterion (e) was the most influential, followed by (b), (c), (a), and (d). Criteria (a), (b), and (c) acted as influencers, whereas (d) and (e) were receivers. Then, using the Delphi technique, five key responsibilities were identified: (R1) supporting children’s education, (R2) capacity building for the local community, (R3) setting up water filtration plants, (R4) improving the working environment, and (R5) reducing discrimination. ANP analysis prioritized these responsibilities according to the already identified criteria as R1, R2, R5, R4, and R3 respectively. This structured approach is expected to guide leaders in making decisions to allocate resources optimally, thereby maximizing benefits for both the organization and the community.

Work-based learning (WBL) is an educational approach that builds a bridge between theory and practice. While there has been much study on the effectiveness and success of internships in fields like health, engineering, and teaching, there is a scarcity of studies examining how internship experiences might impact the career outcomes of business students. Based on social cognitive career theory, this study aims to explore business students’ internship experiences and their potential influence on their career resources. A qualitative research design was employed in this study. Two diverse focus group studies, which consisted of thirteen students in total, were conducted to investigate the participants’ internship experiences deeply. The findings were analyzed using thematic content analysis. Based on the results, two themes emerged: “internship satisfaction factors” and “career resources.” The findings showed that internship experiences make significant contributions to the career development process by providing vital skills, including networking, communication, and job searching, in addition to facilitating the transfer of theoretical knowledge into practice. The findings provide valuable insights for scholars and policymakers in higher education institutions and various organizations interested in establishing internship programs.

This research investigates the impact of organizational long-term orientation (LTO) and employees’ pay satisfaction on their intentions to leave their jobs. Drawing from stewardship theory, it proposes that both organizational LTO and pay satisfaction will inversely influence employees’ intentions to quit. Furthermore, these two antecedents are expected to have an interactive influence on turnover intentions. The theoretical model was empirically tested with data collected from an online survey of 335 white-collar employees across various industries in Türkiye. The data were analyzed using moderated multiple regressions. The findings provide empirical support for the hypothesized negative relationships between both organizational LTO and pay satisfaction with employees’ intentions to leave their jobs. Furthermore, LTO has a significant moderating effect. When pay satisfaction is low, LTO significantly reduces turnover intentions. No significant effect is found when pay satisfaction is high. Hence, the study shows that pay satisfaction has a key influence on employees’ decisions to remain with the organization, especially in the context of high levels of unemployment and economic uncertainty observed in developing countries like Türkiye. Nevertheless, the study findings also suggest that organizations that have a high level of LTO can buffer at least some of the negative effects of low pay on employee retention.

This study aimed to reveal consumers’ behavior towards restaurant shows. In this respect, the effect of restaurant quality on consumers’ revisit intention through consumer satisfaction and share intention on social media was investigated, and whether the attitude towards shows has a moderating effect in this relationship was identified. In the study, data was collected from a total of 466 fine-dining restaurant customers. Direct, mediating, and regulatory effects were analyzed with the data collected. The results showed that restaurant quality components (food quality, service quality, and physical environment quality) affected consumers’ intention to revisit. Additionally, the mediating effect of satisfaction and intention to share on social media was proven in this relationship. Moreover, it revealed the moderating effect of consumers’ attitudes towards shows. Therefore, depending on the consumers’ reactions to the shows, it can be possible to determine the quality levels of the restaurants and to change the intentions of the consumers who have low intention to revisit the restaurant shows to be held afterward.

This study investigates the antecedents and consequences of consumers’ attitudes toward artificial intelligence in the social media era. Through an empirical study, data was collected from 388 consumers in Turkey. SmartPLS was used to test the proposed hypotheses. Several key findings were reached: (i) Anthropomorphism impacts consumers’ performance expectations positively. (ii) Anthropomorphism does not influence positive attitudes towards artificial intelligence. (iii) Consumers’ performance expectations have significantly positive effects on positive attitudes towards artificial intelligence and also on positive emotions. (iv) Positive emotions do not influence positive attitudes towards artificial intelligence. (v) Positive attitudes towards artificial intelligence significantly have positive effects on consumers’ engagement on social media. (vi) Social media self-efficacy has a positive effect on consumers’ engagement on social media. (vii) Consumers’ social media engagement impacts purchase behavior positively. Establishing a comprehensive framework, this study offers valuable insights into the intricate relationships among anthropomorphism, performance expectations, emotions, attitudes, social media self-efficacy, social media engagement, and consumer purchase decisions in the evolving landscape of artificial intelligence. The study contributes to the literature by examining the antecedents and consequences of consumers’ positive attitudes toward artificial intelligence with a comprehensive model. Besides, understanding the drivers that push consumers to generate positive attitudes toward artificial intelligence and the consequences of these positive attitudes is crucial for marketing managers and businesses.

The objective of this study is to explore the relationships between product knowledge, brand image, and brand loyalty in the mobile phone brands context. Specifically, the study investigates the effect of product knowledge level on brand image and brand loyalty, the effect of brand image on brand loyalty, and how brand image mediates the effect of product knowledge on the brand loyalty of mobile phone users. The participants of the study were mobile phone users in the prominent cities of Turkey. A total of 426 participants were identified with the utilization of convenience sampling methodology and the data collection process was executed through a questionnaire distributed electronically. The results of the study confirmed the direct positive and significant effects of the product knowledge level of consumers on brand image and brand loyalty. On the other hand, the image perception of consumers regarding the mobile phone brand is found to have a significant and positive direct effect on brand loyalty. When brand image is included in the model as a mediating variable, the direct effect of product knowledge on brand loyalty turns into an insignificant one, which confirms the mediating role of brand image on the effect of product knowledge on brand loyalty.

Yapay zekâ bireylerin hayatını kolaylaştırmanın yanında birtakım endişeleri de beraberinde getirmektedir. Bu endişeler literatürde yapay zekâ kaygısı olarak yer almaktadır. Dijital teknolojilerin, mevcut çalışanlara rakip olarak, onların işleri ve mesleklerini tehdit etmekle birlikte, potansiyel çalışanların da istihdam olanakları açısından ciddi bir tehlike yaratabileceği tartışılmaktadır. Bu doğrultuda çalışmada, dijital çağın potansiyel çalışanları olarak görülen gençlerin yapay zekâ kaygılarının belirlenmesi ve bu kaygının demografik özelliklere göre farklılık gösterip göstermediğinin ortaya konulması amaçlanmıştır. Araştırma kapsamında veriler anket tekniği kullanılarak kolayda örnekleme yöntemiyle 318 üniversite öğrencisinden toplanmış, bağımsız örneklem t-testi ve tek yönlü ANOVA testi ile analiz edilmiştir. Analiz sonuçlarına göre üniversite öğrencilerinin yapay zekâ kaygılarının orta seviyede olduğu bulgusu elde edilmiştir. Bunun yanında öğrencilerin sınıfları, akademik başarıları, iş tecrübeleri ve dijital teknolojilere sahip olma durumlarına göre yapay zekâ kaygılarının istatistiksel bakımdan anlamlı farklılıklar gösterdiği tespit edilmiştir. Elde edilen bulguların henüz gelişmekte olan literatüre katkı sağlayacağı ve gelecek çalışmalarda araştırmacılara tartışma imkânı sunacağı düşünülmektedir.
