The “Politics Perception Scale”, developed by Kacmar and Ferris [1] in 1991, was used to measure the political behavior within the firm. The absence of such a research for construction sector employees is the starting point of this study. In this study, the perceptions of organizational politics encountered in construction sector employees were analyzed using the “Politics Perception Scale”. Data on the items directed to the participants were collected by a questionnaire. Frequency distribution of measurement items was obtained and reliability analysis was made for the data. Graphical distributions of the items used in the measurement of the factors that constitute the perception of organizational politics scale (POPS) are presented. Correlation coefficients between factors were calculated by correlation analysis. The results showed that among the 5 factors that constitute the perception of organizational politics scale, the factor of “self serving content” ranks first in organizational behavior.

{"title":"The Relationship School Maturity and Writing Skills of Students with Learning Disability","authors":"S. Doğru, S. Y. Dogru, Simge Cepdibi","doi":"10.7176/jstr/6-11-01","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.7176/jstr/6-11-01","url":null,"abstract":"Learning disability is a type of disability that is usually noticed when the child starts school. Early special education interventions can have very positive effects on the academic life of children with learning disability. For this reason, whether or not these students have reached the maturity required to start school during the transition from kindergarten to primary school will increase the effect of the intervention to be presented to them. It is also important how much the level of school maturity of students with learning disability can explain the problems they face during their literacy process. Accordingly, the aim of the study is to determine the relationship between school maturity and writing skills in first grade students with learning disability. This research is exploratory correlational research. The sample of this research is 57 primary school students who are diagnosed with learning disability and continue to being rehabilitee. \"Metropolitan School Readiness Test (MSRT)\" and \"Writing Skill Evaluation Form\" scales are used. Besides, was included school success and demographic information of students obtained from interviews with teachers in the current study. Correlation analysis was conducted to determine the relationship between the scores obtained from the variables. As a result of the analysis, it was revealed that there was no significant relationship between school maturity and writing skills of students with learning disability. However, it was found that there is a negative relationship between the scores gathered from the Metropolitan School Readiness Test's \"Word Comprehension, Matching and Copying\" subscales and Writing Skill Evaluation Form \"Writing Order\" subscale. Also, it was found that there is a positive relationship between the scores obtained from the Metropolitan School Readiness Test \"Word Understanding, Matching and Copying\" subscales and \"Dictation\". This research once again draws attention to the unique learning features of students with learning disability. The results of this study have shown that students with learning disability are dependent on other factors rather than school maturity underlying literacy problems.

In order to reinstate the ecological balance, the efficient use of energy has gained importance all over the world. Since then, this approach has emerged in every field possible. It has also emerged in the construction industry with various names such as green, sustainable and ecological, and in order to minimize the negative effects, some countries have developed various certification systems. Green buildings aim to maximize energy, water and materials savings while minimizing resource usage. Certification systems that have been developed are used for performing objective analysis based on preset evaluation criteria. Although categories in the certification systems vary, they are generally based on similar properties. In this study, the concept of sustainability, green buildings, BREEM, SBTool, Green Star, CASBEE, and LEED certification systems have been evaluated via a literature review. Following, the sustainable sites category of the LEED certification system’s latest three versions i.e. v3, v4 and v4.1 have been compared.

Ozcan","doi":"10.7176/jstr/6-10-04","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.7176/jstr/6-10-04","url":null,"abstract":"While the acceptance or rejection of consumers is based on a series of mental preferences, it emphasizes certain values, attitudes, expectations, and dietary preferences in the development of products. New functional components, additives that improve texture and sensory properties, and new technologies that extend shelf life also encourage new product development with impressive opportunities. However, the variety of cross modal interactions that occur between aroma, taste, and texture depending on the food matrix during food consumption makes it very complicated to explain this perception with the individual’s physiological state and habits. Individuals experience many sensations when eating or drinking, such as taste, smell, touch, warmth, vision, sound, and sometimes pain and irritation. Although this versatile sensory experience forms the basis of perceived aroma and texture, some sensations are perceived individually differently than others. Understanding the mechanisms involved in food sensory perception is the basis of consumer studies. This review explains how all these sensations interact on both perceptual and physical levels.
