The research aims to examine the explanatory effects of "emotional labor" on "organizational citizenship behavior"(OCB) through the mediating role of "happiness at work" and to explore the interrelations among these variables. Based on Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis conducted on a sample of 386 responses, the findings reveal that happiness at work positively influences employees' OCB and serves a full mediator between emotional labor and OCB. The study reinforces the notion that happy employees are more likely to contribute to organizational goals and highlights the role of happiness at work in enhancing OCB in the context of emotional labor.

Bu çalışma, Bursa ilinde üç farklı devlet okulunda öğrenim görmekte olan 813 ortaokul öğrencisinin yenilenebilir enerji kullanımına yönelik niyetlerini planlanmış davranış teorisi çerçevesinde derinlemesine incelemeyi hedeflemektedir. Araştırmada, tutum, öznel norm, algılanan davranış kontrolü ve niyet bileşenlerinden oluşan bir model önerilmiş ve bu modelin geçerliliği yapısal eşitlik modellemesi kullanılarak test edilmiştir. Yenilenebilir enerji kullanımına yönelik niyeti ölçmek amacıyla çok boyutlu bir 'Yenilenebilir Enerji Kullanımına Yönelik Niyet Ölçeği' tasarlanmış ve bu ölçeğin geçerliliği doğrulayıcı faktör analizi ile test edilmiştir. Analiz sonuçları, tasarlanan ölçeğin yüksek geçerlilik ve güvenirlik katsayılarına sahip olduğunu göstermektedir. Önerilen modelin bileşenleri arasındaki ilişkileri incelemek için yapısal eşitlik modellemesi teknikleri kullanılmıştır. Bulgular, öğrencilerin yenilenebilir enerji kullanımına yönelik tutum ve algılanan davranış kontrolü değişkenlerinin niyeti pozitif bir şekilde yordadığını göstermektedir. Ancak, bu modelin bir diğer kritik bileşeni olan öznel normların, yenilenebilir enerji kullanımına yönelik niyet üzerinde anlamlı bir etkisinin olmadığını ortaya koymaktadır. Bu sonuçlar, özellikle ortaokul öğrenci popülasyonuna özgü bir sosyal ve kültürel bağlamda, planlanmış davranış teorisi bileşenlerinin farklı bir etki profili sergileyebileceğini işaret etmektedir. Sonuçlar göz önüne alınarak farklı faktörlerin etkisini daha kapsamlı bir şekilde değerlendirmek için etik inançlar, bilgi seviyesi, faklı coğrafik bölgelere ve sosyoekonomik durum gibi değişkenler de araştırmalara dâhil edilerek benzer araştırmaların yapılması önerilebilir.

This research examines the mediating role of academic procrastination in the relationship between fear of negative evaluation and problematic smartphone use among university students. A total of 317 university students (180 females and 137 males, X̄ = 21.19 ± 2.38) participated in the study and completed The Brief Fear of Negative Evaluation Scale, The Tuckman Procrastination Scale, and the Short Form of the Smartphone Addiction Scale. Structural Equation Modeling was used for data analysis. According to results, fear of negative evaluation predicts problematic smartphone usage through the full mediation of academic procrastination. In this context, it can be said that university students with a high level of fear of negative evaluation experience more academic procrastination and this academic procrastination increases problematic internet use. In the discussion and conclusion section, explanations related to the research findings, limitations of the study, and suggestions for future research were provided.

ÖZ: Bir ülkede yaşayan bireylerin yaşam kalitesini ve ülkenin beşerî sermayesini yakından etkilemesi nedeniyle sağlık hizmetlerinin kalitesinin, performansının ve etkinliğinin ölçülmesi önemlidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, sağlık sistemi kalitesi belirleyicileri ve göstergeleri arasındaki nedensel ilişkileri 2018 itibariyle 135 düşük, düşük-orta ve üst-orta gelirli ülkeler için araştırmaktır. Sağlık sisteminin performansını yansıtan değişkenler sağlık göstergeleri, sağlık sisteminin kalitesini etkileyen değişkenler ise sağlık sistemi belirleyicileri olarak tanımlanmıştır. Belirleyiciler olarak; okuryazarlık oranı, kentsel nüfus (%) ve GSYH, sağlık sistemi göstergeleri olarak ise tüberküloz insidansı, beş yaş altı ölüm oranı ve cerrahi müdahale durumunda fakirleşme riski araştırma modelinde yer almıştır. İstatistiksel yöntem olarak gözlenen değişkenlerle yol analizi kullanılmıştır. Analiz sonucu; belirleyici değişkenlerin, önsel beklentilere uygun olarak tüberküloz insidansı dışındaki sağlık göstergelerini negatif etkilediği saptanmıştır. Sağlık sistemi belirleyicileri ve göstergeleri arasındaki nedensel ilişkilerin araştırıldığı az sayıdaki geçmiş çalışmalarda, gözlem birimlerinin belli bir ülke grubu (örneğin; sadece Batı Avrupa ülkeleri) veya aynı ülkenin belli bölgeleri ile kısıtlı olduğu görülmektedir. Farklı özellikteki ülkeleri kapsayan bir gözlem seti üzerinde, sağlık belirleyici ve göstergelerinin nedensel ilişkilerinin araştırılması bakımından çalışmanın özgün olduğu düşünülmektedir. ABSTRACT: It is important to measure the quality, performance and effectiveness of health care services, as it closely affects the quality of life of individuals living in a country and the human capital of the country. The aim of this study is to investigate the causal relationships between health system quality determinants and its indicators for 135 low, low-middle-and upper-middle-income countries as of 2018 The variables reflecting the performance of the health system are defined as health indicators and the variables affecting the quality of the health system are defined as health system determinants. As determinants; literacy rate, urban population (%) and GDP were included in the research model, while tuberculosis incidence, mortality rate under the age of five and the risk of impoverishment in case of surgical intervention were included as indicators of the health system. As a statistical method, path analysis was used with the observed variables. As a result of the analysis; it was determined that the determining variables negatively affect health indicators other than the incidence of tuberculosis in accordance with a priori the expectations. In the few past studies investigating causal relationships between health system determinants and indicators, it seems that the observation units are limited to a certain country group (for example, only Western European countries) or certain regions of the same country. It is thought that the study is original in terms of investigating the causal relationships of health determinants and indicators on an observation set covering different countries.

Social cohesion refers to structuring communities living together in a settlement around common values, reducing inequalities in wealth and income, and generally the behaviors and feelings of people to take a joint venture, tackle common challenges, and have a sense of being a part of the community in which they belong. Social cohesion is important for the social peace and welfare of countries. This study aims to develop a scientific solution proposal to the problem of social cohesion in Turkey, where immigrants and disadvantaged groups are concentrated. In the study, the relationship between social cohesion levels of immigrant individuals and social capital, positive psychological capital, social hope and economic expectation in social cohesion was analyzed by creating a hypothetical model. Structural Equation Model method was used in empirical analysis. Structural Equation Model result: It has been determined that there is a very high positive correlation between Social Cohesion and Positive Psychological Capital, Economic Expectation, Hope and Social Capital. In the study, it was seen that Meskhetian Turks who migrated from Ukraine to Turkey had a high level of integration with the people of the region. The study was conducted with Meskhetian Turks settled in Üzümlü District and provides a perspective for research at regional or national level within the scope of social cohesion.

The life satisfaction and quality of life of individuals with high marital adjustment and satisfaction are also high. The personal characteristics of individuals are effective in all areas of life, as well as on marriages. The relational screening model was applied in the study, which was carried out with the participation of 505 married individuals. Structural equation modeling diagram was established by using right and left hand 2D:4D finger length ratios, "Five Factor Personality Inventory", "Marriage Satisfaction" and "Marriage Adjustment" scales. It was found that right and left 2D:4D finger lengths had no effect on the scales. In the second model built with modifications, the effects of personality traits on marital adjustment (p=0.001<0.05) and marital adjustment on satisfaction (p=0.001<0.05) were found to be statistically significant. It has been found that personal characteristics of individuals affect marital adjustment and marital adjustment affects marital satisfaction. Our study is the first study in the literature in terms of both examining the relationship between right and left 2D:4D finger length ratios and marriage and using Structural Equation Modeling in the analysis of the relationship between the scales.

This study aimed to reveal the relationship between community capacity and social capital with quantitative data. For this purpose, a survey was conducted with 324 people in the rural area of Erzurum by using the random sampling method. Structural Equation Modeling was used for quantitative analysis. Structural Equation Modeling results revealed that there is a very high positive correlation between Community Capacity and Social Capital. It has been seen that the "Trust" dimension of social capital affects Community Capacity positively and at a very high level. Individuals living in rural areas see their community members as honest and reliable. Another dimension of social capital, "Memberships and Networks", affects Community Capacity positively and at a very high level. This shows that neighborly relations and cooperation in rural areas are strong. Again, the "Rural Values and Norms" dimension affects Community Capacity positively and at a very high level. Being honest in rural life style is seen as an important value. Finally, it has been determined that the "Belonging" dimension of social capital affects the Community Capacity positively and at a very high level. Within the scope of Community Capacity, it has been seen that the individuals living in the village are loyal to each other, their neighborly relations are high and they have high common aspects.

Purpose: Cognitive processes have an important place in starting or quitting smoking, which is an important public health problem all over the world. The present study was conducted to determine the mediator role of metacognition about smoking in the relation between cognitive avoidance and nicotine addiction in individuals who want to quit smoking. Materials and Methods: The study was completed with a total of 294 people who volunteered to participate in the study and who filled the data collection forms. In the evaluation of the data, descriptive statistics and the Spearman Correlation Test was used for correlation analysis. The effects of cognitive avoidance, nicotine addiction, and metacognition about smoking on each other was examined with structural equality modelling. Results: A total of 61.9% of the volunteers who participated in our study were male, and the mean age was 33.17±10.62. The data were found to support the model, and the goodness of fit indices were acceptable (CMIN/DF=2.02, GFI=0.93, AGFI=0.90, CFI=0.96, RMSEA=0.059). Cognitive avoidance and metacognitive beliefs affect nicotine addiction in individuals who want to quit smoking, and metacognitive processes about smoking played mediator roles in the interaction between cognitive avoidance and nicotine addiction. Conclusion: It will be useful to include cognitive processes as well as metacognitive processes about smoking in smoking cessation programs.

In this study, the behavior of using renewable energy sources (RES) has been investigated in the concept of planned behavior theory (PBT), taking into account the knowledge level and external concerns of environmental issues and RES. The willingness to overpay for energy demand by RES was also investigated. To this aim, a questionnaire was created and applied to 337 public officers from different sectors in Turkey. The questionnaire results were then analyzed by Structural Equality Modeling (SEM). In conclusion, it has been determined that the knowledge level on environmental issues has significant effects on environmental issues, which forced people to learn about RES. So, the intention of using RES is affected positively. Another important result obtained in the study is that the knowledge about RES affects the willingness to overpay. In addition, subjective norms have an impact on the attitude towards the use of RES. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this study is to reveal the visible and invisible effects of supplier selection criteria on the final product quality. In order to create a model that reveals the effect of supplier characteristics on the final product quality, a questionnaire containing 52 statements was applied to participant companies operating in various sectors. Exploratory factor analysis was applied to the obtained data and the six factors in supplier selection were obtained. A structural equation model is proposed to determine the effects of related factors on the final product quality. When the fit indices were examined, it was determined that the proposed model was a suitable model. Results showed that supplier quality and delivery criteria, which are among the supplier selection criteria, directly affect the final product quality. In addition, the supplier's pricing policy and its tendency to cooperate and take responsibility criteria also indirectly affect the quality of the final product. In this study, it has been proved by the analyzes that the quality of the final product is influenced by the supplier company. In addition, this study contributes to literature as it integrates the issues of supplier selection, final product quality and structural equation modeling, which are discussed separately in the literature.

Çalışanlar arasında stres ve tükenmişlik kavramları önemli işyeri sorunları arasında yer alır. Yaşanan iş stresi ve tükenmişlik, çalışanların işe karşı duygularını dolayısıyla iyilik hallerini de etkiler. Çalışanların işe karşı olumlu duygular beslemesi, genel yaşama karşı tutumunu da belirler. Bu sebeple işe karşı geliştirilen duygular, çalışanın yaşadığı stresin ve tükenmişliğin azalmasına da yol açabilir. Bu çalışmada tükenmişlik, işe ilişkin duygular ve iş stresi kavramları ele alınmıştır. Çalışmada kamu sektöründeki çalışanlar arasındaki tükenmişlik ve işe ilişkin duygular arasındaki ilişkiler incelenmiş, iş stresinin bu iki değişken arasında aracı etkisinin bulunup bulunmadığına bakılmıştır. Anket yönteminin kullanıldığı çalışmada 172 kişi katılımcı olarak yer almıştır. Araştırmada değişkenler arasındaki ilişki için Pearson Korelasyon Analizi ve değişkenler arasındaki aracı etkiyi tespit edebilmeye yönelik Yapısal Eşitlik Modellemesi içinde analizler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Yapılan analiz sonuçlarına göre işe ilişkin duygular ve tükenmişlik arasında anlamlı ve negatif yönlü; iş stresi ile tükenmişlik arasında anlamlı ve pozitif yönlü bir ilişki mevcuttur. Ayrıca stres değişkeninin işe ilişkin duygular ile tükenmişlik arasındaki ilişkiyi açıklamada kısmi aracılık rolünü üstlendiği görülmüştür. Diğer bir deyişle çalışanların işe ilişkin iyilik halleri ve algıları ile tükenmişlik arasındaki ilişkiyi açıklamak için iş stresini de anlamak gerekir.
