A quantitative research was conducted with the participation of 188 employees working at Ziraat Bank of Bosnia-Herzegovina through a questionnaire consisting of demographic information form, performance, and motivation scales. The study concluded that gender, age, and duration of service in the current institution did not significantly affect performance and motivation. However, education level, marital status, income level, and total work experience made a significant difference in task performance, motivation, intrinsic motivation, and extrinsic motivation, respectively. Moreover, while a moderately positive relationship was found between task performance and intrinsic motivation, contextual performance was determined to be associated with intrinsic and extrinsic motivation moderately and weakly, respectively. On the other hand, work performance had a moderate positive relationship with job motivation. Accor...

Bu amaçla araştırmaya İstanbul Büyükşehir Belediyesi Sağlık ve Hıfzıssıhha Müdürlüğünde görev yapan 121 iş gören katılmıştır. Verilerin toplanmasında İşyeri Arkadaşlığı Ölçeği ve Utrecht İşe Adanmışlık Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Veriler SPSS programı üzerinde Faktör Analizi, Bağımsız Örnekler t-Testi, ANOVA ve Pearson Korelasyonu kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmadan elde edilen bulgulara göre katılımcıların işyerinde kurdukları arkadaşlıklara ilişkin değerlendirmeleri genel olarak olumludur. İşyeri arkadaşlığı cinsiyet, yaş, medeni durum gibi demografik faktörlerden etkilenmezken; eğitim seviyesi ve çalışılan birim işyeri arkadaşlığı üzerinde anlamlı farklılıklara yol açmaktadır. Öte yandan katılımcıların işe adanmışlık düzeylerinin de yüksek olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Yoğunlaşma, en düşük ortalamaya sahip alt boyut olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadı...

Çantamda 33’lük bir tespih, bir de çakı taşıdığım doğruydu. Okul dönüşü apartman zillerine basıp kaçtığım da doğruydu. Çocuktuk bir yanımızla hâlâ. Diğer yanımız büyümeye hevesli… Dilimizde hep iddialı cümleler: Hayat iman ve cihat! Sakarya’ya seslenirdik fırsat buldukça. O aktıkça, biz coşardık sanki… Geyve’nin gülleri vardı bir de.

Religious coloring refers to the spirituality, which is re-discovered in modern ages and transferred to the workplace. Spirituality stimulates virtuousness at personal and organizational level, which in turn generates managerial sustainability meaning the lifespan of a company. While personal virtuousness refers social ethics, organizational level virtuousness could be considered as Corporate Social Responsibility. Secondly, it attempts to evaluate the relevance of Ibn Haldun’s approach to contemporary business organizations. In order to demonstrate the relationship between spirituality, virtuousness, CSR, and sustainability; data collected from Corporate Knights’ Global 100 companies were analyzed using structural equation modelling. According to the results, while workplace spirituality leads to ethical conduct and higher CSR/CS score, the relationship between spirituality or...

Kimi bu sorunları bizzat yaşadı, kiminin yakınları o baskıya maruz kaldı ve sonuçta toplumun büyük bir kesimi darbeden etkilendi. Bugün İbn Haldun Üniversitesinde öğretim üyesi olarak görev yapan çok sayıda akademisyen de yakın tarihin utanç lekesi 28 Şubat sürecinde baskıyı yaşadı ve hikâyelerini anlattı. Her bir hikâye kendi içinde çok önemli ayrıntılar barındırıyor. İşte o öyküler

Among these texts, books of advice deserve a particular interest because of their relevance to the field of management. Kutadgu Bilig is an advice text written by Yusuf Khass Hajib of Balasagun in 1070 and presented to the reigning prince of Kashghar. It has been accepted as “the oldest monument of Islamic Turkish literature”. According to Yusuf the key to a sustainable management is justice: “And if you desire everlasting kingdom, then do justice and remove injustice from the people”.This study aims to show the relevance of justice to discussions around the concept of sustainable development, specifically sustainability in management. Our work initially analyzes the concept of justice from Western and Islamic perspectives, and secondly reviews discourses of Yusuf in the matter of justice. Lastly, it is attempted to deriv...

Even though they were prima facia addressed kings and higher officers, they contain a great deal of universal advices applicable to any management and leadership context. So much so that scholars have realized the relevance of principles offered in these texts to management and especially to the field of business ethics.

Obtaining a powerful authority and being spread on a large geographical area require religious coloring. One of the main characteristics of people who have gained control over many lands is their eager desire for virtuous behavior specifically benevolence. Whenever they start to “commit blameworthy deeds and to practice all sorts of vices”, God deprives them of royal authority. This work firstly aims to develop a sustainability model based on Ibn Haldun’s teaching. Religious coloring refers to the spirituality, which is in fact rediscovered in modern ages and transferred to the workplace. Spirituality stimulates virtuousness at personal and organizational level, which in turn generates managerial sustainability meaning the lifespan of a company. While personal virtuousness refers social ethics, organizational level virtuousness could be considered as Corporate Social Responsibility. Briefly, managerial sustainability could be qualified as a function of spirituality, virtuousness and corporate social responsibility. Secondly, it attempts to evaluate the relevance of Ibn Haldun’s approach to contemporary business organizations. In order to demonstrate the relationship between spirituality, virtuousness, CSR, and sustainability; a statistical analysis among Corporate Knights’ Global 100 companies was conducted. The results of the study show; while workplace spirituality leads to ethical conduct and higher CSR/CS score, the relationship between spirituality or CSR and financial performance is not significant. However, it seems that lifespan of business enterprises is related to their CSR score. Companies that are promoting workplace spirituality, emphasizing ethical conduct and initiating socially responsible actions are living longer

This study aims to reveal the relevance of Islamic administration tradition to modern value-based leadership studies. In line with this purpose, Kutadgu Bilig, the oldest monument of the Islamic Turkish literature, was qualitatively inquired. The research design was grounded theory and data was analysed by content analysis using MaxQDA software. Kutadgu Bilig describes an outstanding leader with 23 attributes classified under six categories. While the model combines traits, behaviours, and values, that third one is an indispensable condition of efficiency. Looking across centuries, this comparative analysis reveals that the model grounded in Kutadgu Bilig bears the stamp of ethical and servant leadership. However, it places a premium on the virtuousness of the ruler at the individual level and on the attributes of justice and benevolence at the administrative level.2-s2.0-8512097709
