In addition, it is also among the other aims of the study to deal with all aspects of airport-airline strategic cooperation, which is rare, to develop the relevant literature and to make suggestions to airlines. In the research, cooperation of Pegasus Airlines, the largest private airline company of Turkey, with Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen Airport, which is the fastest growing airport in Europe, is discussed. In the research, in which the mixed method was used, the dimensions of cooperation were revealed primarily through interviews with middle-level managers. Panel regression analysis was used as a quantitative analysis method in the study. It was tried to determine the effect of vertical cooperation on performance with 3 different models established. The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and the cooperation dummy variables were added to the models and the effects of the cooperation, and the pandemic were revealed. As a result of the study, even though the Covid-19 pandemic has created a structural break on airline performance, the positive effect of cooperation shows that vertical cooperation is an important strategy that can be preferred by airlines. It has been understood that with the airport-airline vertical cooperation strategy, competitive advantage can be created, costs can be kept under control, the activities of idle airports can be increased, and an advantage can be created in providing passenger guarantees given in projects in which the public-private sector cooperates.","PeriodicalId":477188,"journal":{"name":"OPUS Journal of Society Research","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136184078","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 study, it is aimed to examine the effect of dark triad personality traits of accounting professionals on their tendency to commit accounting fraud. The research is important in terms of bringing a psychology and accounting-based study to the literature of our country, which is widely seen in the international literature. Data were collected from 307 professional accountants registered in the Chamber of Certified Public Accountants of Balıkesir through the questionnaire developed within the scope of the research. Obtained data were analyzed by using structural equation model through IBM SPSS 25 and AMOS programs. As a result of the research, it has been concluded that the psychopathy and Machiavellian dimensions of the dark personality traits of the professions affect the internal and external motivations of their tendency to commit accounting fraud, but the narcissism dimension from the dark personality traits does not influence the tendency of accounting professionals to commit fraud. By identifying individuals with dark triad personality traits, it is possible to reduce negative situations in the business environment, tendencies towards accounting fraud, unethical behaviors and actions.","PeriodicalId":477188,"journal":{"name":"OPUS Journal of Society Research","volume":"1152 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136184079","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}

Kurumsal sosyal sorumluluk (KSS) faaliyetlerinin kollarından biri olan hayırseverlik boyutu doğrultusunda işletmeler planlı olarak topluma katkı sunmaktadır. Bu planlı çalışmalar, tüketici algılarını etkilemektedir. Planlı KSS faaliyetlerinin yanı sıra, deprem, sel gibi afet dönemlerinde de işletmeler büyük rol üstlenmektedir. Yüzyılın felaketi olarak adlandırılan Kahramanmaraş depreminde 10 ilde büyük yıkımlar sonrasında, devletin yanı sıra, vatandaş ve işletmeler de olanaklarını seferber etmiştir. Bu çalışmada afet döneminde KSS çalışmalarının marka denkliği ve müşteri tatmini üzerine etkileri incelenmiştir. Araştırmada 429 katılımcıdan online olarak toplanan veriler, Yapısal Eşitlik Modeli ile analiz edilmiştir. Analiz ile, KSS’nin marka denkliği üzerinde pozitif anlamlı bir etkisi olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Bunun yanı sıra, marka denkliğinin de müşteri tatmini üzerinde pozitif ve anlamlı bir etkisi olduğu doğrulanmıştır. Araştırma, aynı zamanda, KSS değişkeninin müşteri tatmini üzerinde doğrudan anlamlı bir etkisi olduğu sonucuna işaret etmektedir. Son olarak, KSS müşteri tatmini ilişkisinde marka denkliğinin tam aracı etkisi olduğu görülmüştür.","PeriodicalId":477188,"journal":{"name":"OPUS Journal of Society Research","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135923375","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}

These unparalleled shifts in online behavior birthed concerns about potential surges in cybersecurity threats, particularly cyberbullying. Our research aimed to explore these proposed trends on Twitter. Utilizing a dataset of 126,348 tweets from January 1st to September 12th, 2020, we honed in on 27 cyberbullying-related keywords, like 'online bullying' and 'cyberbullying'. Recognizing the limitations of traditional change-point models, we opted for a Generalized Additive Model (GAM) with spline-based smoothers. The results were revealing. A significant uptick in cyberbullying instances emerged starting mid-March, correlating with the global lockdown mandates. This consistent trend was evident across all our targeted keywords. To bolster our findings, we conducted lag-based assessments and compared the GAM against other modeling approaches. Our conclusions robustly indicate a strong association between the enforcement of pandemic lockdowns and a heightened prevalence of cyberbullying on Twitter. The implications are clear: global crises necessitate intensified cyber vigilance, and the digital realm's safety becomes even more paramount during such challenging times.","PeriodicalId":477188,"journal":{"name":"OPUS Journal of Society Research","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136057732","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}

Scholars have attempted to understand the parameters that impact environmental quality over the last three decades. The empirical models use different economic and technological parameters as explanatory variables to do so. However, in recent times, some studies mentioned the importance of social parameters in reducing environmental degradation. Religious principles and values are among the main social parameters that may impact the environment. Considering that climate change's repercussions are increasing daily, understanding the relationship between religion and the environment is essential for effective climate control measures and policies. Although environmental studies based on theological issues are common, there is hardly any empirical investigation related to eco-theological arguments with macro data. This study is the first initiative to uncover the environmental quality and religious teaching and values nexus by applying various panel econometric approaches at the global level. Accordingly, this study inspected the impact of Islamic Principles on the environment in 147 countries. The novel findings provided evidence that Islamic values help decrease CO2 emissions in 147 nations. These findings offer more effective practices and solutions to environmental problems.","PeriodicalId":477188,"journal":{"name":"OPUS Journal of Society Research","volume":"100 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135789528","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}

While this period is an opportunity to correct imperfections in higher education systems, it is also a challenge in terms of planning new policies that necessitate digitalized equipment and personnel support that increased due to the pandemic. The study aims to examine which factors of higher education learning communities can help sustain higher education institutions during and beyond emergencies. Based on a qualitative study presenting views of Turkish faculty, major findings reflect the key components of higher education learning communities. These were spotted as; ‘democratic and collaborative environments that target equitable student access to education, student success, as well as faculty professional development and well-being of faculty and students and examined through the lenses of critical pedagogy and transformational theory. Apart from the suggestions of the participants for sustainability, the author also presented some immediate-to-long-term policy suggestions for higher education decision-makers that prioritize equity, accountability, and quality, and the main principles of learning communities as collaboration and democracy, all of which are also important concepts for further development of society.","PeriodicalId":477188,"journal":{"name":"OPUS Journal of Society Research","volume":"2016 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135297020","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}
