Data were collected from professionals in Türkiye through an open-ended questionnaire. The findings reveal that subordinates feel less supervisory trust, while supervisors confirm trusting their remote subordinates less. Utilizing leader-member exchange (LMX) theory as a theoretical approach, we argue that the lack of supervisory trust is a major setback for the quality of leader-member exchange, and displays itself in the form of more controlling and monitoring together with criticisms over ability and behavioral integrity. Moreover, cognitive trust is more dominant in the remote dyadic trust relationship, even though the cultural context signals a more affect-based one. This study contributes to the emerging literature on trust and LMX in virtual work settings by presenting dual narratives on supervisory trust in the supervisor-subordinate relationships under remote work conditions.

Based on dynamic capabilities theory, this study explains how business environmental factors trigger a chain of events by initially influencing SA that further drives the renewal of the business model, ultimately leading to an increase in performance. The data from 410 Turkish companies are analyzed through the structural equation modeling method, giving details of the causality relationships related to the sequential effects according to a firm’s sector. Findings highlight that the impact of R&D incentives remains relatively low compared to the impact of technology turbulence, and the observed effects change according to the industry in which a firm operates. After discussing detailed results and summarizing contributions, this article concludes by suggesting future research topics.

In this research, a state university in Istanbul, one of the oldest and most institutionalised among state universities of Turkey, was selected as an example. 191 academic staff members answered an original questionnaire. According to the results of the research, although satisfaction levels in different dimensions are not high, Professional Satisfaction and Institutional Job Satisfaction are the dimensions that most participants are satisfied with, followed by Colleague Competition Level Satisfaction and Colleague Relations Satisfaction. Since these factors have positive effects on the general satisfaction levels of employees, the improvements therein will cause an increase on the general satisfaction levels of employees. This research discloses findings on employee satisfaction –an essential aspect in realising quality management understanding in state universities.B...

In this research, a state university in Istanbul was selected as the case. A total of 291 academic and administrative employees of the institution participated in the research conducted using the method whereby participants answered an original questionnaire. According to the results of the research, it has been found out that there are certain differences in factors such as “colleague relations satisfaction”, “colleague competition level satisfaction”, “other work group satisfaction”, “professional satisfaction”, “work environment satisfaction”, and “salary satisfaction” with respect to the satisfaction of academic and administrative employees.

In line with this goal, we collected data from occupational health and safety specialists (N=189), and occupational health and safety academicians (N=23) through open ended questionnaire forms. We content analyzed the data gathered from the respondents. We found that the widely-accepted model of Mayer, Davis, and Schoorman (1995) was supported in terms of organizational distrust, we also found organizational distrust also emanated from the environmental factors as well, such as the inadequacy of the state and regulatory bodies, and the sectorial characteristics itself. Moreover, the manifestations of Mayer et al. (1995) also were found to be context unique, such as involving socioeconomic factors, which play an important role on organizational distrust formation. The paper also investigates how to deal with distrust in order to manage its negative impact on safety performance. Lastly, basing upon these evidences, managerial implications for organizations are discussed to deal with organizational distrust.

performance through strategic agility (SA) and business model innovation. Based on dynamic capabilities theory, this study explains
