    Unsettled Grounds, Enduring Bonds: A Literature Review on Employee Engagement during Organizational Change
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2026) Abbas, Alhamzah F.; Ahmed, Ayesha; Usman, Muhammad; Shah, Syed Haider Ali
    This systematic review critically examines how employee engagement is conceptualized and operationalized within the context of organizational change, aiming to uncover prevailing themes, highlight conceptual inconsistencies, and identify gaps in the literature to advance understanding in evolving organizational settings. Guided by the the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA framework, the study analyzes 29 peer-reviewed journal articles published between 2006 and 2025, retrieved from the Scopus database, employing thematic synthesis and citation mapping to explore both organizational and individual-level influences on engagement during change. The findings reveal a dual-level framework: at the organizational level, leadership, organizational support, communication, and cultural and contextual dynamics play a central role, while at the individual level, psychological and emotional factors, behavioral patterns, attitudes toward change, and opportunities for skill development and career progression are key drivers. This review contributes by clarifying conceptual boundaries, identifying underexplored dimensions, and providing actionable insights for leaders and HR practitioners to sustain and enhance employee engagement during periods of organizational transition.

    Why Are Faculty Unfavorably Disposed to MOOCs? – A Sharing of Views by Chinese Hospitality Educators
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2021-08-12) Zhang, Xin; Koseoglu, Mehmet Ali; King, Brian; Aladag, Omer Faruk
    This study explores the negative disposition of many hospitality higher education faculty toward MOOCs, an increasingly prominent delivery mode in pedagogical discourse which potentially enriches student learning. Such enrichment is particularly welcome in the case of hospitality because of its diverse stakeholders and student learning needs. The researchers conducted an in-depth and qualitative exploration with faculty members in mainland China. They combined the Diffusion of Innovation (DOI) approach and theory of motivation to propose five dimensions that account for groupings of resistance to deploying MOOCs. These are attributes and complexities, perceived incompatibility, unsuitability for trial, and lack of observational capacity. The study contributes to knowledge by examining the perspectives of faculty who have the capacity to constrain the deployment of MOOCs. The authors suggest that faculty members should be encouraged to embrace MOOCs as an innovative medium for learning and teaching.

    The Need for Death Pedagogy: Academics' Opinions on the Place of Death in the Curricula
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025-06-02) Sonbul, Zeynep Funda
    This paper seeks to explore the opinions of educational sciences academics on how death pedagogy should be integrated into curricula across preschool, primary, secondary, and high school levels. The sample comprises academics specializing in educational sciences, who have conducted at least two studies on death, loss, and bereavement, and are affiliated with various universities in T & uuml;rkiye. Seven academics responded to six open-ended questions, and their qualitative responses were analyzed. The results indicated unanimous support for including death pedagogy in the formal curriculum. Key implementation considerations include: (a) collaborating with experts to define the content, methods, and scope; (b) providing comprehensive training for all teachers on the subject and offering additional support for those grappling with their own mortality; (c) ensuring that school counselors play a central role in all phases of planning, implementation, and evaluation; and (d) highlighting the significance of death pedagogy in fostering students' psychological resilience.

    Social Mobility and Pro-Government Mobilization: The Case of July 15th Pro-Government Mobilization in Turkey
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2021-12-23) Teke-Lloyd, Fatma Armagan; Turk, Umut; Ozgur Donmez, Rasim
    What are the economic determinants of pro-government mobilizations? While recent studies have contributed to our understanding of the relationship between a defined set of economic variables and political unrest - including revolts, riots, and uprisings against the status quo - there has been relatively little attempt to understand how these models might apply to demonstrations in support of the existing regime, which remain an understudied phenomenon within the literature. The coup attempt, which took place in Turkey on 15 July 2016 and was organized by a religious movement within the Turkish military, led to widespread public protests which ultimately succeeded in overcoming the threat. This case affords us a valuable opportunity to study the phenomenon of pro-government mobilization and its political and economic underpinnings. By applying the theoretical contributions of the already well-established literature on social mobility, we argue that higher earnings, economic equality and social mobility will foster a greater likelihood of mass mobilizations in support of the regime. Our study contributes to the literature theoretically by extending the scope of the existing theories on mass mobilization and empirically by examining a rare case of pro-government mobilization in Turkey by using individual and regional level datasets.

    Relationship Between Objective and Subjective Cognitive Load Measurements in Multimedia Learning
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2020-11-15) Mutlu-Bayraktar, Duygu; Ozel, Pinar; Altindis, Fatih; Yilmaz, Bulent
    The aim of this study is to compare subjective and objective cognitive load measurements in a multimedia learning environment. For this purpose, 20 university students studied in multimedia environments designed by researchers during which eye movements and multichannel electroencephalography (EEG) signals were recorded. Self-report ratings were obtained at the end of the experiment, and retention performances of the students were measured. After the data were collected, Pearson Correlation analysis was applied. According to the results, significant relationship between the number of fixations and EEG frequency band powers was found. In addition, there was a negative relationship between retention performance and number of fixations. Moreover, a negative relationship was found between retention performance and self-reported measurements.

    No Strings Attached: Understanding Turkey's Arms Exports to Africa
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2023-07-21) Kurc, Caglar
    Turkey's defence industries have shown significant development in recent years. But the limited domestic market and the financial crisis created sustainability problems for the industry. To increase its arms sales, Turkey began to search for potential markets to expand, and Africa emerged as an excellent market to enter. Turkey had already invested in Africa through its multi-track diplomacy, a necessary condition for arms sales. While the multi-track diplomacy and increased engagement helped Turkey's arms exports, they are insufficient to explain the recent rise of Turkish arms exports, which have been showing an upward trend since 2021. This paper argues that the increase in arms exports is the function of multi-track diplomacy, no-strings-attached arms export policy and the demonstration effect.

    Mincing Words: The Three Layers of the AKP's Narrative on Kurdish Politics
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2020-04-02) Celebi, Mehmet Celil
    In 2009-2015, the Justice and Development Party (AKP) put forward several initiatives to end insurgency in Kurdish majority areas. However, successive "openings" failed to make progress. The electoral and international goals of the AKP gradually became incongruent with the peace process, and the AKP espoused heavy-handed tactics in July 2015. The ups and downs of the process in 2009-2015 show that it was already fragile. Some causes of this fragility were external to the AKP, such as the opposition parties' eagerness to use the process to poach nationalist voters and the PKK's violence. However, I argue that the contradictory nature of the AKP's narrative was also a crucial factor. The party's earlier narrative required the strict separation of two layers: security policies to fight terrorists and democratization policies to address the legitimate grievances of citizens. However, the intersubjective strategies that it experimented later required a gray area between these two fields. The AKP, instead of changing strategies, has constructed a three-layered, contradictory narrative.

    Involvement of Sphingolipid Metabolism Enzymes in Resveratrol-Mediated Cytotoxicity in Philadelphia-Positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2021-11-22) Oguz, Osman; Adan, Aysun
    Targeting the key enzymes of sphingolipid metabolism including serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT), sphingosine kinase (SK) and glucosylceramide synthase (GCS) has a therapeutic importance. However, sphingolipid metabolism-mediated anti-leukemic actions of resveratrol in Philadelphia-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph + ALL) remain unknown. Therefore, we explored potential mechanisms behind resveratrol-mediated cytotoxicity in SD1 and SUP-B15 Ph + ALL cells in the context of sphingolipid metabolism and apoptosis induction. The anti-proliferative and apoptotic effects of resveratrol alone and in combination with SPT inhibitor (myriocin), SK inhibitor (SKI II), GCS inhibitor (PDMP) were determined by MTT cell proliferation assay and flow cytometry, respectively. The effects of resveratrol on PARP cleavage, SPT, SK and GCS protein levels were investigated by Western blot. Resveratrol inhibited proliferation and triggered apoptosis via PARP activation and externalization of phosphatidylserine (PS). Resveratrol increased the expression of SPT whereas it downregulated SK and GCS. Resveratrol's combinations with SKI II and PDMP intensified its anti-leukemic activity by increasing the relocalization of PS while its combination with myriocin suppressed apoptosis. Therefore, resveratrol inhibited cell proliferation and induced apoptosis through modulating SK, GCS and SPT expression, which may be considered as novel biomarkers of resveratrol-induced cytotoxicity in Ph + ALL.

    Information Sources and Congruency Modulate Preference-Based Decision-Making Processes
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024-07-29) Ozkan, Aysegul; Zhang, Jiaxiang
    Preference-based decisions often need to combine multiple pieces of information. This study investigated how the number of information sources and information congruency affect decision performance. Participants made preference-based choices between two groups of food items. Increasing the number of items in each option led to slower and less accurate decisions. Drift-diffusion modelling showed that more information sources relate to a slower rate of evidence accumulation. Therefore, the additional information impeded rather than improved the decision accuracy. In Experiment 2, each choice option contained either fully congruent information or one piece of incongruent information. Decisions with incongruent information is associated with a lower drift rate than that with congruent information, leading to inferior behaviorual performance. Further model simulations support that the change in attention weighting over information sources leads to the observed effects of item numbers and item congruency. Our results suggest a bounded combination of information sources during preference-based decisions.

    Financial Inclusion and Poverty: Evidence From Turkish Household Survey Data
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2021-09-30) Dogan, Eyup; Madaleno, Mara; Taskin, Dilvin
    Even though poverty is highly felt in developing economies, the lack of relevant and complete micro-level data limits understanding which households are more exposed to poverty and the role of financial inclusion in poverty in these countries. This research analyzes the effects of financial inclusion proxied by a multidimensional index on three poverty measures (the lowest-income poverty line, a lower-middle-income line, and an upper-middle-income line) by employing the recent Turkish Household Budget and Consumption Expenditure Survey data with 11,595 complete answers. In addition to the application of logistic regressions, this study addresses possible endogeneity issues by using access to the nearest bank as an instrument in a two-stage least-squares regression and employing the novel method as a robustness check. Empirical results point out that an increase in financial inclusion decreases poverty in Turkey. The adverse effect of financial inclusion on poverty is validated through a few robustness and sensitivity analyses. The outcome also indicates that health expenditure and income are essential through which poverty is influenced by financial inclusion. Thus, policies are required to enhance the financial inclusion of households to alleviate poverty. Further discussions are presented in this study.
