... On the other hand, the non-housing debt had a significant positive effect on the future consumption of transport and health care but a significant negative effect on the long-term consumption of education and culture. These findings are aligned with the previous literature (Choi & Yoo 2023;Darvishmotevali & Tajeddini, 2019;Kukk, 2019). It is necessary to consider that the increase in household consumption loans may affect family investment in education and cultural consumption. ...
It is important to understand the factors influencing consumption patterns in China, a rapidly growing economy with high household debt. The main objective of this study is to investigate the long-term impact of household debt on household consumption using panel data from 2014 to 2020. Data for this paper is mainly derived from the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) database for the four periods of 2014, 2016, 2018, and 2020 to examine the impact of household debt on current consumption and its long-term effect on consumption. An econometric model was adopted to analyze the data. The findings demonstrate that total household debt significantly lowers long-term household consumption. In contrast, housing debt has a more significant crowding-out effect on household consumption, and non-housing debt has no significant impact. These findings imply that higher levels of debt cause decreased consumption by forcing households to allocate a larger portion of their income toward house financing. In addition, we also find that increasing rural families’ leverage will have a greater negative impact on household consumption. These findings propose that the measures to address the issue of high household debt, particularly housing debt, are necessary to promote sustainable consumption patterns and support the well-being of households. The findings of the study highlight the significance of considering rural families' unique circumstances when developing debt management measures.
... Findings-The model was statistically assessed using partial-least-squares structural equation modeling (PLS/SEM. Çeviklik, bir firmanın çevresindeki değişikliklere, fırsatlara ve tehditlere hızlı yanıt verme yeteneğidir (Darvishmotevali & Tajeddini, 2019). Birçok araştırmacı, çevikliği, örgütlerin belirsiz ve çalkantılı pazarlarda ayakta kalabilmeleri için çok önemli bir faktör olarak görmektedir. ...
... Increasing the performance of an organization in uncertain and complex environments depends on the agility of that organization (Harraf et al., 2015: 676). Agility is the ability of a firm to respond quickly to changes, opportunities and threats in its environment (Darvishmotevali & Tajeddini, 2019). Many researchers see agility as a crucial factor for organizations to survive in uncertain and turbulent markets. ...
Belirsizliğin yüksek olduğu iş çevresinde yenilik yapmak işletmeler için bir zorunluluk haline gelmiştir. Çevresel belirsizliklere yenilik yaparak karşılık vermek işletmelerin çevik olmasına bağlıdır. Bu araştırma, çevresel belirsizliğin yenilik performansı üzerindeki etkisini incelerken belirsizliğin üç ana yönünü test etmeyi ve belirsiz ortamlarda örgütsel çevikliğin düzenleyici rolünü belirlemeyi amaçlamıştır. Veriler Nevşehir Merkez, Ürgüp, Göreme ve Avanos’ta bulunan otellerdeki 310 çalışandan elde edilmiştir. Verilere ilişkin güvenilirlik ve geçerlilik analizleri yapıldıktan sonra hipotezler test edilmiştir. Bulguların sonucunda çevresel belirsizliğin ve alt boyutlarından dinamiklik ve heterojenlik ile yenilik performansı arasında anlamlı ilişki bulunurken, olumsuzluk ile yenilik performansı arasında anlamlı ilişki bulunamamıştır. Ayrıca örgütsel çevikliğin, çevresel belirsizliğin alt boyutlarından dinamiklik ve heterojenliğin yenilik performansı üzerindeki etkisinde düzenleyici rol oynadığı tespit edilmiştir. Bu çalışma ile konaklama endüstrisinde çevresel belirsizlik, yenilik performansı ve örgütsel çeviklik arasındaki ilişkiye yeni bakış açıları sunulmuştur. Ancak araştırmanın sadece Nevşehir’e özel olması, çalışmanın genellenebilirliğini sınırlamıştır.
... Notion of an agile organization is the most widely-held proposition to handle uncertain and unpredictable business environments (Sherehiy & Karwowski, 2014) with creativity and innovative work behavior (Afsar & Badir, 2017).

The present study explores the association between workplace spirituality and wellbeing of employees working in the hospitality sector during the COVID 19 pandemic crisis. Workforce agility and organisational identification were taken as parallel mediators for the relationship between workplace spirituality and employee wellbeing. The hypothesized research model was examined in the light of SDT perspective of psychological needs. Data was collected through questionnaire survey using standardized instruments. The study surveyed 322 hotel employees of the northern region of India and utilized Structural Equation Modeling to test the hypothesized relationships. Findings confirmed a positive association between workplace spirituality and wellbeing, and established the role of workforce agility and organizational identification as parallel mediators in this relationship.

Although fog computing-based logistic supply chain management (Fog computing-based LSCM) is an emerging technology that proved a high impact on services and products, little research has focused on fog computing-based LSCM.

Bu araştırmanın amacı teknoloji şirketlerinde çalışan bireylerin örgütsel çeviklik algılarının belirlenmesi ve hangi değişkenlere göre farklılık gösterdiğinin tespit edilebilmesidir. Araştırmada nicel araştırma tekniklerinden “betimsel tarama modeli” kullanılmıştır. Bu yöntem çalışanların örgütsel çeviklik algılarına yönelik mevcut durumu ortaya koymaktadır. Araştırma verileri birincil verilerden oluşmuş ve veri toplama yöntemi olarak anket kullanılmıştır. Toplanan veriler SPSS programı aracılığıyla uygun istatistiki yöntemlerle analiz edilmiştir. İki değişken arasında anlamlı bir farklılaşmanın olup olmadığını belirleyebilmek için “bağımsız örneklem t-testi” ikiden fazla değişken arasındaki farklılaşmaya yönelik ise “tek yönlü anova testi” kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre kadınların erkeklerden, evli bireylerin bekâr bireylerden ve idari görevi bulunan çalışanların idari görevi bulunmayan çalışanlardan daha yüksek düzeyde bir örgütsel çeviklik algısına sahip olduğu görülmektedir. Ayrıca 18-40 yaş arasında olan çalışanların örgütsel çeviklik algıları 41 yaş ve üzeri olanlardan daha yüksektir. Lisansüstü öğrenim derecesine sahip çalışanlar diğer öğrenim derecelerine sahip çalışanlardan daha yüksek bir örgütsel çeviklik algısına sahiptir. 1-5 yıl arası mesleki kıdeme sahip olan çalışanların örgütsel çeviklik algıları ise 11 yıl ve üzeri mesleki kıdeme sahip olan çalışanlardan daha yüksek bir düzeydedir.
