Lê Ngọc, Nguyễn Minh Tuấn — Wed, 02 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The objective of this paper is to study the relationship between Internal Brand, Corporate Culture (VHDN) affecting Supply Chain Performance through the mediating role of Employee-based Brand Equity (THNV) in Vietnamese petroleum enterprises. The study conducted testing and analysis of the Structural Equation Model (SEM) “Employee-based Brand Equity Affects Supply Chain Performance at Some Large Petroleum Enterprises in Vietnam” followed by Bootstrap with a sample size of 2000. The results of the study showed that the factors of Internal Brand (THNB), Corporate Culture (VHDN) , Employee Satisfaction (HL); Brand Commitment (CKTH) and Brand Knowledge (KTTH) all positively affected Supply Chain Performance of Vietnamese petroleum companies. Based on these results, the author proposes some management implications to help business leaders come up with solutions to improve the Supply Chain Performance (HQCCU) of the Vietnamese petroleum industry.

Zehra DOĞAN ÇALIŞKAN — Wed, 02 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The study concludes by emphasizing the future of industrial policies in the context of digitalization, sustainability, and innovation. It presents policy recommendations to support AI-based production, workforce adaptation, ethical governance, and global regulatory alignment, ensuring sustainable and competitive industrial transformation. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into industrial policy is transforming economic growth, governance structures, and workforce dynamics. AI-driven automation and digital transformation are redefining industrial production, requiring policymakers to develop adaptive regulations that enhance efficiency, promote sustainability, and ensure inclusive economic development. This study explores AI’s role in industrial policies, focusing on regulatory frameworks, economic implications, and labor market transformations. It examines AI applications in industrial strategies across different countries, highlighting key regulatory measures adopted by the European Union, the United States, and China. Additionally, it analyzes Turkey’s AI-driven industrial policies, emphasizing national strategies, regulatory challenges, and efforts to align AI with industrial transformation. The findings suggest that AI-compatible industrial policies should prioritize ethical integration, workforce adaptation, and public-private collaboration to foster sustainable development. Furthermore, the study underscores the importance of balancing innovation with regulatory oversight to mitigate socio-economic risks. By implementing well-structured AI-driven policies, countries can enhance global competitiveness, stimulate economic growth, and drive technological advancements while addressing ethical and regulatory concerns. The study concludes with policy recommendations aimed at fostering AI innovation while ensuring an inclusive and sustainable industrial future.

Hakan ALTIN — Wed, 02 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The main objective of this study is to determine the effect of population growth and economic growth on carbon emissions in Turkey. The STIRPAT ARDL model was used to analyze the effect of population growth and economic growth on carbon emissions for this purpose. The STIRPAT ARDL (4,0,4), the STIRPAT ARDL (4,4,3), and the STIRPAT ARDL (1,4,3) models were developed for this purpose. These models provide appropriate answers for the study's objective. As a result, population growth and economic growth are associated with increased carbon emissions in Turkey. These results are statistically significant and consistent with the literature. As a result of the results, policy makers will be able to identify two important factors when formulating sustainable environmental policies. The STIRPAT ARDL (4,4,3) model, however, failed to provide an adequate answer to the study's questions.

Tety Elida, Ari WB Raharjo — Wed, 02 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This study aims to examine impulse buying behavior towards fashion products in Generation Z with gender as a group analysis. Data was collected from 444 students at a university in West Java, Indonesia. The structural equation model partial least square (SEM-PLS) analysis was conducted to analyze the relationship between variables and test a series of hypotheses. Price Discounts, Store Atmosphere, and Fashion Involvement significantly affect Impulse Buying. There are differences in impulse buying behavior between men and women. This research fills the limited literature on SOR theory involving fashion involvement as an organism.

The Effect of Leader-Member Exchange on Psychological Entitlement and Organizational Silence: The Mediator Role of Psychological Contract Breach

Gülbeniz AKDUMAN, Zeynep HATİPOĞLU — Wed, 02 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This study investigates the impact of leader-member exchange on psychological entitlement as well as organizational silence, focusing on the mediating identity of psychological contract breach. Utilizing a correlational model within the general screening framework, an online survey was administered to 294 white-collar employees selected through convenience sampling. The results have revealed that, the leader-member exchange has a negative significant impact on psychological contract breach, the leader-member exchange has a notable negative effect on organizational silence, psychological contract breach has a positive substantial effect on psychological entitlement, and psychological contract breach has a significant negative effect on organizational silence. Psychological contract breach mediates the leader-member exchange and organizational silence relationship. Leader-member exchange does not affect psychological entitlement substantially, and psychological contract breach does not mediate the leader-member exchange and psychological entitlement relationship. As a result, the excellence of leader-member exchange and the psychological contracts made with the organization directly impact employees' behavior.

Archaeological Tourism: Ethical Principles and Site Management in Practice

Ayşe Nevin SERT, Nazife Asuman ÖZER — Wed, 02 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This study aims to examine the interaction between ethical principles and site management approaches in the context of archaeological tourism, evaluating their practical application. The concept of archaeological tourism is considered from a multidimensional perspective within the framework of site management and ethical principles. Archaeological tourism is considered a holistic field, not limited to visiting archaeological remains, but also requiring planning in line with the protection of archaeological heritage, the participation of local people, and conservation principles. As well as protecting the physical integrity of archaeological sites, site management involves responsibilities such as ensuring a high-quality visitor experience, interacting with local communities, and maintaining cultural continuity. In this context, the ethical principles of consent, respect, and mutual accommodation provide a framework for planning, implementing, and delivering archaeological tourism. Furthermore, ethical risks such as the commercialisation of heritage, singular narratives in cultural representation and the exclusion of local communities require careful consideration in site management strategies. This conceptually based approach is complemented by a historical evolution of archaeological tourism from Antiquity to the present day. Thus, archaeological tourism is presented not merely as an activity that traces the remnants of the past, but also as a field that must be restructured in light of contemporary ethical and managerial principles. This study has revealed that archaeological tourism is not just an activity that exhibits the past; it is also a multi-layered field that needs to be redefined in line with ethical responsibilities and site management principles.
