In this respect, microcredit schemes offer an innovative form of social welfare, widely accessible to women. This study examines one such program from the Turkish context: the Maya Enterprise for Micro Finance, a conditional credit opportunity for women to start and/or develop their own businesses, granted by the Foundation for the Support of Women's Work (KEDV). Our study aimed to explore the impact of KEDV's credit transfer scheme on the lives of users, especially in terms of the psychological and economic empowerment of women. Deploying a mixed methods research strategy, we administered and analyzed quantitative surveys (n=336) in order to determine the perceptions, thoughts, insights and reactions of KEDV program users, also conducting qualitative interviews with 21 participants. Our findings indicate that the program was influential in empowering women by increasing their self-confidence and changing their relationship with other people in the household.Yayın An economic analysis of the communication skills in globalised industrial relations: social dialogue and the negotiation process in Turkey(Univ Complutense Madrid, 2011-03-01) Soykut Sarıca, Yeşim Pınar; Şen Taşbaşı, AslıThe purpose of this paper is to provide an economic analysis of the social dialogue experience in Turkey with an emphasis on the role of communication in industrial relations. We ascertain social dialogue -and the related negotiation process- as a major communication form in industrial relations and attempt to find out whether it serves well to promote consensus building and democratic involvement among the main stakeholders in employment. We particularly question the success of the existing social dialogue structures and processes in Turkey in resolving economic and social issues through communication, advancing social and industrial peace, improving competitiveness through increased productivity and complying international commitments in employment.Yayın Women's empowerment and welfare traformation in the context of microcredit in Turkey(Pressacademia, 2015-06-04) Soykut Sarıca, Yeşim Pınar; Çağlı Kaynak, ElifGender inequalities are of the main problems in almost every society. Like all other parts of the system, economic and business environment haven't attempted sufficiently in struggling with this issue. When these inequalities combined with development problems the growth of poverty among women and their exclusion from society multiplies. Although there is so much struggle for constructing equal society women are still considered as ignorant part of the society and hence, vulnerable beings, who have to be protected and taken care of. In this sense women have not much chance for being "independent individual" both in social and economic terms. However these constraints upon women's vulnerability and inability are tried to be changed by Microfinance system to move from the perspective of women's empowerment. In this paper, we try to analyze whether the performance of practices by the non-governmental organizations ability to achieve objective to improve the living conditions and interest of the women in the society or not by comparing to micro credit organizations in Turkey. We also try to answer whether women's participation in employment contributes to well-being their lives and contributes their role in working life.Yayın Public and private initiatives in skills training in Turkey(Springer, 2014) Soykut Sarıca, Yeşim PınarThe priorities 9th National Development Plan (NDP) covering the 2007-2013 period relevant to HRD-OP (Human Resources Development Operational Programme) involve supporting the priority of "increasing employment" which includes improving the employability of the target groups and strengthening the capacity of public employment services.

The major problem of HR managers is to minimize their training and development budgets. Making a training budget is not so complex; but the important, yet often neglected, part of budgeting is the costs of absence of employees. In every kind of training, whether traditional or e-learning, there is a cost for the time being spent away from work. Some of the managers think that this is an idle time for company, plus the employee is paid during this period. This paper focuses on the costs of the absence and their effect on training budgets. Some scenarios were developed with the help of an HR manager of an international firm. The feasibility of these scenarios was studied by using integer programming.Yayın Strategic alignment and project management offices: case studies from successful implementations in Turkey(IEEE, 2013-03-18) Karayaz, Gamze; Güngör, ÖzgeDue to an increased need for learning modern project management methodologies, companies have been forced to improve their knowledge of Project Management Offices (PMO).

Saha deneyine 580 kişi katılmıştır. Kişiye özel fiyat, deneklerin İnternet sitesinden daha önce yaptıkları satın almaya göre belirlenmiştir. Deneklere satın alma sürecinin farklı safhalarında kişiye özel fiyat önerilmiş ve satın alma davranışlarındaki farklılıklar izlenmiştir. Deneylerde elde edilen veriler, Pearson ki-kare ve lojistik regresyon analizi kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir.Çalışma sonucuna göre; tüketicinin dikkate alınanlar kümesi oluşmadan önce önerilen kişiye özel fiyat teklifi, oluştuktan sonra önerilen teklife göre daha etkilidir ve satın almayı olumlu yönde etkilemektedir. Çalışmada, kişiye özel fiyat teklifinin zamanlaması ile tüketicinin önerilen ürünü seçim kümesine alması arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunamamıştır.Yayın Visiting the iron cage: Bureaucracy and the contemporary workplace(Springer, 2014-03-06) Yüksel, Ahmet HakanBureaucracy as an organizational form has always been a controversial issue and placed at the very heart of most discussions within organizational theory. One side of this prolonged discussion praises this administrative form as the ‘rational’ way to run an organization. It provides needed guidance and clarifies responsibilities, which enables employees to become more efficient. However, the opposition claims that in a non-linear world, where industrial organizations are forced to confront the challenging task of sensing and responding to unpredictable, novel situations of highly competitive markets, such an organizational form stifles creativity, fosters de-motivation and causes pressure on employees. Dealing with a bureaucratic form of organization and its consequences begs for a context. It would be appropriate to quit ‘taking sides’ and develop a sound analysis of this phenomenon under the conditions of today’s global workplace environment. This chapter intends to delineate the conditions under which bureaucracy has emerged and the way it has been interpreted since its inception and develop a sound and appropriate analytical approach to its functioning given the prevailing conditions of the contemporary workplace.
