Thus, even if nurses are trained and the most experienced professionals, dealing with these challenges is related to different factors like training and practice level, age, and family support. So, the main aim of this paper is to find out the effects of demographic characteristics of nurses on burnout and its dimensions. The sample is 71 nurses from Izmir / Turkey. The survey results were analyzed with t-test, variance analysis (ANOVA), and confirmatory factor analysis. The results show that gender, education level, and age factors are varying between nurse groups to some level. On the other hand, tenure, and marital status are not significantly related to burnout.

Knowledge sharing is not primarily an information technology issue, because knowledge exists not only in the minds of members but also in the business processes and structures of organizations. That is why Knowledge Sharing Culture (KSC) and leadership play a significant role on knowledge sharing. This chapter presents the findings of a study which was carried-out to investigate the effects of different leadership styles on knowledge sharing in business organizations. As leadership dimensions; transformational, transactional, autocratic, self-leadership and laissez-faire leadership styles were analyzed. A quantitative empirical research using the survey method was adopted to see the leadership effects on KSC in the 130 enterprises from the Aegean Free Zone/Turkey. The findings of the study revealed that trust, sharing data freely, friendship and teamwork were important in knowledge sharing.

The idea behind this study is to show that cultural communities have different cultural models regarding the kinds of roles leaders should or should not play.Design/methodology/approachThe sample was chosen from the part of the town where the immigrant workforce is growing, as well as it is the closest growing economic area to Europe in Turkey.FindingsThe analysis shows that cultural values significantly affect leadership roles.

Cluster formation is impeded by low local education and skill levels, weaknesses in technology/information technology, international trade and firm relations. These elements define the nature of innovation and processes. Industry-University-Institute Cooperation is an effective way to promote the diffusion of technical innovation in industrial cluster; nevertheless, University and technical school curricula, centrally dictated, fail to adapt to cluster needs. This study aims to measure relationship between productivity and underlying competitive forces, in Turkey. For productivity measurement GDP per capita is taken and for competitive forces: Human capital, R&D, Patent Numbers and Organizational Industrial Zones (OIZ) are considered as independent variables.

In other words, even if xenophobia is likely to be generated from economic losses and social factors according to literature, leadership can deliberately produce a “hostile environment” for migrant employees. This paper scrutinizes the effect of paternalistic leadership and its dimensions on xenophobia in the context of business organizations. Besides, the life satisfaction factor has been functionalized as a moderator in this process. Cross-sectional survey data (n=395) were obtained from employees and analysed with a variance-based structural equation modelling (VB-SEM) and multivariate regression technique. Research findings prevail that paternalistic leadership significantly decreases personal or individual fears, on the other hand; it increases political and cultural fears against “other...

These arguments principally draw on contributions from interactional and structural sociology. Fixed theoretical tools for intrapreneurship are not quite enough. So, structural and interactionist perspective of sociology is necessary to understand the intrapreneurship concept because intrapreneurs live in a society and shape their course per the expectations of others. Previous approaches depend on individual, organizations or environment to push potential employees to be intrapreneurs. Expectations may be a keystone for intrapreneurship because intrapreneurs have been trying to explain or make progress about what is seen as crucial; more importantly, they learn their roles. Design/methodology/approach This is a conceptual paper about explaining intrapreneurship. Foregoing literature has been trying to explain the phenomenon by individual, organizati...

The paper also provides authentic citations that connect the results and raw data from the media. The performed analysis demonstrated that xenophobia is relative to a country or group of countries' context of a threat to their physical, social, and cultural beliefs. Xenophobia included various aspects, e.g., filtered information, economic threat, and emotional reactions. These can be exemplified through media news and incidents occurring in each country or region.

Generation Y is defined as individuals born between 1981 and 2000, although there is no clear consensus between the dates. Generation Y, which is the latest in the business world and more than other generations in terms of a number, shows its effects all over the world and forces many organizations to change their way of doing business. Although cynicism is stated to be distinguished, low level of satisfaction, criticism, interest in itself, and a negative point of view, its effect on generations has not been explicitly investigated. With this research, it is aimed to contribute to the literature by revealing the interaction of organizational cynicism for Generation Y employees.

KFOR's image has come to the fore because it affects the mission success and decisions about its existence in Kosovo. The image has two components, functional and emotional: Military symbols and uniforms of NATO (KFOR) are functional and emotional relations of countries with Kosovo Security Forces (KSF) members are emotional part. In this research; the main objective is finding out the effects that shape KFOR image. Sublevel objectives are the effects of Kosovo's "connections", KSF "personal links" and "perceived mission success" with KFOR member states in KFOR image. To study these effect 3 hypothesis are formed and empirical research is done with KSF members to get a foundation of emotional relationship which affects country image. Evaluating of questionnaires with linear regression, correlation and factor analysis, besides the important effects of ethnocentrism and patriotism, military personnel relations formed by countries military involvement and activities found as predictor factors in KFOR image. As a matter of course these base components of emotions about the image will enlighten future literature about building an organizational image.
