These are mainly common factors about that which criteria can be more effective on employees. Authenticity at work can be generally defined that being your true self and acting like that. Authenticity is also an important issue for people’s physiological needs at work. Therefore, workplace authenticity and organizational attractiveness dimensions could be related with each other and may authenticity could be a new factor of attractiveness. Because, workplace authenticity affects work engagement and satisfaction in a positive way. In Turkey, there has been no study in this area to provide any empirical evidence about that authenticity is one of the effective factors of organizational attractiveness. This research has focused on to investigate authenticity with its importance level of employees’ perspective. The relevant studies and literature review on organizational attractiveness and workplace authenticity are critically reviewed and analyzed. 235 professionals participated in an online survey from top three big cities which are Istanbul, Ankara and Izmir in Turkey. From the age of 22 to 55, in many different sectors and hierarchical level of professionals were participated in this survey. The results showed that authenticity could be an effective dimension of organizational attractiveness as perceived by professionals. Therefore, authenticity may be a beneficial factor and can be used in employer branding strategies.","PeriodicalId":105736,"journal":{"name":"Organizations & Markets: Policies & Processes eJournal","volume":"148 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133006859","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In line with our expectations based on the fact that Islamic culture is characterized by a collectivistic approach, weak rule of law, and clan-based social structure, we find that value-based trust is more important than competence-based trust. Moreover, we find that these results are amplified in the case of small organizations. These results support the argument that business relationships in Islamic culture ground more on principles, values, norms that a partner bring into the relationship than in its business skills. Our results are robust to endogeneity and multilevel issues.","PeriodicalId":105736,"journal":{"name":"Organizations & Markets: Policies & Processes eJournal","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130808263","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We use this setting to study how individual career concerns affect risk-taking behavior and can sabotage team performance. Using the frequency and duration of player injuriesfrom 1991 to 2013 we measure individual risk-taking behavior.We find that the average player’s likelihood of missing a game due to injury falls by 0.06 percentage points (or over 100% relative to the mean injury rate) in the final three months of his contract, and when missing games due to injury is unavoidable, his recovery time drops by 22 days. However, “elite” players with virtually no career concerns actually miss more games due to injury. Finally, we find that elite players missing too many games and “average” players playing before healthy, combine to hurt team performance. For each additional player in the last three months on contract, the win probability for that team falls by over 2.6%.","PeriodicalId":105736,"journal":{"name":"Organizations & Markets: Policies & Processes eJournal","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134445525","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Following this, the purpose of the study is to determine the effect of CSR and EL on KSB including the mediating effect of cognitive meaningfulness and positive affective tone. This study is based on the cross-sectional and quantitative design. Data collection was done through random sampling technique. The population was taken from the faculty members of higher education institutes situated in Thailand. Sample size was 300 faculty members. The findings of the study show that the role of EL and CSR is very important in facilitating the employee’s knowledge sharing behavior. Moreover, the culture of CSR enables the employees to crave for job meaningfulness at the workplace. Likewise, ethical leadership arouses positive emotion among the employees which eventually make their belief stronger on the leadership decisions. Thus, CSR by ensuring positive affective tone foster the knowledge sharing behavior of the Thai academic staff and on the other hand ethical leadership via strengthening the workers cognitive meaningfulness makes certain the sharing of knowledge and information among the employees the Thai higher educational institutes.

It adopted survey design. Data were mainly from primary source using structured questionnaire developed on five point likert scale. The population of the study was 986 and complete enumeration was adopted. 750 copies of the questionnaire distributed were correctly filled, returned and used for the analysis. Four hypotheses were tested with ordinary least square (OLS) regression. The R-Squared which is the co-efficient of determination tested the explanatory power of the independent variables in the regression model and was 0.330802 indicating that about 33% of changes in employee productivity can be explained by changes in the predictor variables of job satisfaction. The f-statistics measures the overall significance of the explanatory variables in the model. The calculated value of the f-statistics was 6.372001; its probability value was 0.000048 which is less than 0.05 which showed that there is significant effect between the variables. It was observed that ORGCOM had the highest positive significant contribution to employee productivity because any increase in it will cause a significant increase in employee productivity. ORGSTR was positively insignificant at 5% level. TALDEV and REWREC were negatively insignificant at 5%. The result showed that three out of the predicator variables- talent development, reward and recognition and organisational structure were insignificant to employee productivity while organisational commitment was positively significant. It is recommended that organisations should constantly improve on those three predictor variables with insignificant relationship to employee productivity and effectively explore organisational commitment as a major variable for employee productivity.<br><br>","PeriodicalId":105736,"journal":{"name":"Organizations & Markets: Policies & Processes eJournal","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125034567","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Analysis of economic crises, from the tulip mania in the 17th century to the 2008 crisis, reveals that in prosperous societies most of the crises are associated not with a shortage of resources but rather with abundance. These crises are instigated by processes inherent to the free market, which allows phenomena such as hazardous investments, reckless bank lending policies and the formation of speculative bubbles. The 2008 crisis, for example, involved irresponsible behavior of major financial institutions as well as failure of the regulators to prevent this behavior by confronting the institutions they were entrusted to oversee. The debate between fiscalists and monetarists is less relevant today, while the cooperation between the government, the central bank, and the financial sector becomes a key factor. In countries where this cooperation was successful, the 2008 crisis was less harmful. E.g., in Australia, where the banks had accumulated fewer bad debts than in other countries and the government and the Reserve Bank were quick to act, the crisis was hardly noticed. Another class of economic crises are those triggered by an external cause, such as a natural disaster or an epidemic. In the COVID-19 event, where handling the crisis demanded a combination of health and economic measures, the importance of the private sectors was proven as well. For example, in South Korea, where the government acted quickly and private companies were summoned to participate in developing tests for the virus, the epidemic was blocked earlier and with fewer deaths than in other countries. <br><br>","PeriodicalId":105736,"journal":{"name":"Organizations & Markets: Policies & Processes eJournal","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130660540","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
