Within the research framework, the relationship between staff’s familiarity with GI food products and their intention to use these products has been examined. The study was conducted in 4 and 5-star hotels located in Istanbul. Data were collected from a total of 423 participants by questionnaire technique by interviewing the kitchen staff of the food and beverage departments of these enterprises. The data obtained were analyzed using descriptive statistics, regression analysis and difference tests. As a result of the research, it was determined that the most important factor affecting the intention to use these products among the participants was familiarity with the products. It was observed that individuals with knowledge of GI food products and those who have previously worked with these products exhibit a notably positive attitude towards using them. In addition, it has been determined that the reason for the negative attitudes of the decision-making managers in the enterprises where the participants work towards the use of GI food products is the high purchasing costs and seasonality of the products. Finally, it was observed that the positive attitude towards GI food products increased from the lower to the higher positions in the kitchen hierarchy, and this was due to the knowledge of recognizing and using the product correctly gained with professional experience.","PeriodicalId":477188,"journal":{"name":"OPUS Journal of Society Research","volume":"251 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136234253","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 these exams, various individual and item characteristics can affect the responses of individuals to the items. In this study, it was aimed to examine the effects of person and item predictors on the mathematics common exam results of 365 9th grade students with explanatory item response models. Gender and school type as person variables and cognitive domain, content domain and booklet type as item variables were added to the models due to their widespread inclusion in the literature. When the predicted item parameters were examined, it was seen that the smallest parameter values were obtained for all items with the Rasch model. When the model data fit values of four different models were examined, it was concluded that the latent regression and latent regression linear logistic test models showed better fit than the Rasch model. By adding person and item predictors to the model, the parameters obtained for each variable group were compared, and differences were observed between the groups for school type, cognitive domain, and content domain variables. It was concluded that the item parameters did not differ for the variables of gender and booklet type. It is thought that it would be beneficial to use these models more widely in studies to be conducted in the field of education and psychology, since they provide more detailed information about the reasons for the differences in the estimated parameters.","PeriodicalId":477188,"journal":{"name":"OPUS Journal of Society Research","volume":"117 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134905903","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}

The European Union, which was mostly composed of developed Western European countries until 2004, has grown with the participation of Eastern European countries in the following years. In its current form, the European Union consists of countries with different levels of development. The European Union should undoubtedly consider this structure of the union in the economic policies it develops. The existence of unemployment hysteresis, which shows the situation in which unemployment, which increased after an economic shock, does not return to its former levels, is important for policymakers of the union countries, especially in terms of methods of combating unemployment. This study aims to examine unemployment hysteresis for the EU-15 and EU-28 over the average values in the 2001Q1-2019Q4 period. In addition to the traditional unit root tests of Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF) and Phillips Perron (PP), the Fractional Frequency Fourier ADF Unit Root Test developed by Bozoklu et al. (2020) has been used as the methodology. The data are obtained from Eurostat, the official website of the European Union where statistics are published. As a result of the study, evidence is found that the hysteresis hypothesis is valid in EU-15 and EU-28 according to all three analyzes used. In the study, the use of the Fractional Frequency Fourier ADF Unit Root Test, which is the most up-to-date test, contributes to the literature.","PeriodicalId":477188,"journal":{"name":"OPUS Journal of Society Research","volume":"9 6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135013066","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}

Within the scope of the research, face-to-face interviews were conducted with 12 business owners operating in Ankara Organised Industrial Zone who have cooperated with Vocational Training Centers. The research reveals that vocational education centers in Turkey are of great importance in terms of training graduates in line with the needs of the business world. However, employers have serious difficulties in recruiting staff and mostly meet their labour force needs by employing foreign workers. Furthermore, school-industry cooperation is essential so that the education curriculum can better meet the needs of the business world and provide students with workplace experience.Employers value the \"certificate of mastery\" obtained at the end of training to increase employability. The study also underlines the need for effective school-industry co-operation mechanisms. A strong partnership between business and educational institutions can improve the vocational education system in Turkey and prepare the future workforce.","PeriodicalId":477188,"journal":{"name":"OPUS Journal of Society Research","volume":"10 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134973336","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}

Workplace employees viewed the culture as bureaucratic yet also innovative and supportive, contrasting with remote employees' perspectives. The research uncovered distinct working styles that significantly influenced job performance, with remote workers displaying a notably positive impact. However, significant differences in the effects of job satisfaction and motivation on job performance between the two groups are not detected. An unexpected discovery was the reverse relationship between a supportive organizational culture and job performance among remote employees. Organizational commitment had a positive influence on job performance for all employees, emphasizing its role in enhancing job satisfaction and performance. This research contributes to the understanding of the intricate relationship between organizational culture and employee performance, in the context of remote and workplace workers. The findings suggest that non-monetary factors significantly motivate employees, with workplace employees emphasizing effective communication and teamwork, while remote workers prioritize effective planning and task execution. While the study provides insights, its industry-specific focus and sample size limitations should be considered for future research to explore these complex relationships in more diverse contexts.","PeriodicalId":477188,"journal":{"name":"OPUS Journal of Society Research","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135167852","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 this context, this study used employee platform websites to examine employee feedback. The US-based company has had a platform where users can write reviews of companies and job opportunities since 2008. Employees can express their views and feedback about the organization on this platform. 1.250 restaurant reviews in English with searchable comments have been uploaded to the platform. These restaurants have been evaluated for unethical acts such as low pay and overtime, illegal negligence and policies, psychological violence, harassment and discrimination, workplace safety, mismanagement and theft. According to the results obtained, those working in restaurants are exposed to these whistleblowing categories. Employees mostly complain about poor management and lack of support from managers and therefore use external disclosure channels.","PeriodicalId":477188,"journal":{"name":"OPUS Journal of Society Research","volume":"24 13","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135460109","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}

Consumer ethnocentrism refers to the extent to which consumers exhibit a preference for domestic products over foreign ones. The country of origin effect suggests that consumers’ evaluations and perceptions of a product are influenced by its country of origin. In the context of the cafe industry, this study examines whether consumer ethnocentrism influences Turkish/American cafe preference, and whether this relationship is mediated by the country of origin effect for Turkish consumers who live in Rize. The findings revealed that CE has an effect on both COO and cafe preference. COO has a direct effect on cafe preference and mediation role in the effect of consumer ethnocentrism on cafe preference. The result indicating that the country of origin effect of Turkish consumers has a positive impact on both Turkish and American cafe preferences suggests that Turkish consumers may have a favorable view of both Turkish and American cafes based on their perceived country of origin.","PeriodicalId":477188,"journal":{"name":"OPUS Journal of Society Research","volume":"41 12","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135513710","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}
