Inequality and the Import Demand in Turkey
(Istanbul Univ, 2021) Ozbay Das, Zuhal; Das, Zuhal Ozbay
The study aims to see whether the long-run relation between inequality and import demand exists in Turkey. The Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) cointegration technique is used in this study to estimate the long-run relationships between real imports, income, relative price, real exports, and inequality for the period 1982-2015. The results revealed that the income elasticity of imports is greater than one as the literature suggests. The sign of the coefficient of relative price and its magnitude is also compatible with the literature, while it is not statistically significant. However, the results further reflect that inequality is positively associated with real imports in Turkey contrary to assumptions of the relation between inequality and imports that is found to be negative for lower income countries in some studies. Short-run coefficients reflect that real income and relative prices are associated with real imports, whereas exports and not surprisingly, inequality variables are not in the short-run. The coefficient of income parameter is less in magnitude in the short-run but still greater than one. However, the sign of the coefficient of the relative price turns out to be positive in the short-run.
The Reflections of Gastronomic Experience on Brand Loyalty
(Marmara Univ, Fac Communication, 2022) Kacan, Ugur; Tosun, Nurhan
Gastronomic experience can be defined as the result of the interaction of all processes, especially in the high cuisine, which includes social, emotional, intellectual, imaginary and technical situations beyond a mere eating activity. The number of establishments that have made it their mission to offer such experiences to people has also increased significantly compared to the past. In this case , in line with the increase with the competition between brands, businesses have entered into new searches in order not to lose their loyal customers In addition, the number of people who are conscious and aware of high cuisine continues to increase day by day. As a result of people's gastronomic experience, the number of knowledgeable people who interpret/understand the food consciously and share it with the people around has increased significantly. In line with the facilitation of access to information, the development of the information spectrum of individuals is one of the basic phenomena of today. In this direction, especially the food and beverage businesses that appeal to high cuisine use gastronomic experience as an important marketing weapon. In this context, the study aims to quantitatively question the experience elements that are effective in creating brand loyalty and to produce scientific data in this direction, considering the expectations of the people of the food and beverage businesses that try to offer gastronomic experience. The questionnaire developed for this goal was applied to 335 foodie (moderate version of gourmet) participants in groups relatively high in social economic status, and the reflection of the gastronomic experience they had in the luxury restaurants (fine dining) on brand loyalty was analyzed quantitatively. As a result of the research, it has been determined that gastronomic experience has positive effects on attitudinal brand loyalty, but there is no consequential relationship between behavioral brand loyalty.

Measurement of Perceived Psychological Safety: Integration, Review and Evidences for the Scale in the Context of Turkiye
(Istanbul Univ, Methodology & Sociology Research Center, 2022) Bulbul, Secil; Isiacik, Serin; Aytac, Serpil
Psychological safety can predict many positive individual and organizational outcomes at work, and previous research addressed how psychological safety contributes to positive work attitudes and behaviors. In Turkey, there is quite an amount of research showing the contributing role of psychological safety perception on employees' positive performance behaviors and organizational effectiveness and innovativeness. However, previous research in Turkey does not adequately show the reliability and validity of the psychological safety scale, which was developed by Edmondson (1999). Based on the suggested requirement this study aimed to investigate the psychological safety perceptions of individuals who work in various sectors in Turkey. The adapted version of the psychological safety scale was used to gain evidence for the reliability and validity of the instrument in Turkey. In total, 585 individuals working in various industries and from various occupational groups participated in the research. Both exploratory factor analysis and the confirmatory factor analysis showed that Turkish adapted version of the psychological safety scale was valid and reliable.
