A Search for Missing Links: Specifying the Relationship Between Leader-Member Exchange Differentiation and Service Climate
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Sage Publications Inc, 2016)We search for missing links in how the different social exchange relationships employees have with supervisors (i.e. leader-member exchange [LMX] differentiation) affect their unit service climate perceptions. Drawing on a social comparison perspective we propose a model in which the different relationships service employees establish with supervisors negatively impact unit service climate through elevated unit relationship conflict. We further suggest that unit relationship conflict plays a ...

Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Sage Publications Inc, 2013)A 1-year longitudinal study with three testing points was conducted with 215 British Asian children aged 5 to 11 years to test hypotheses from Berry's acculturation framework. Using age-appropriate measures of acculturation attitudes and psychosocial outcomes it was found that (a) children generally favored an integrationist attitude and this was more pronounced among older (8-10 years) than in younger (5-7 years) children and (b) temporal changes in social self-esteem and peer acceptance were ...

Border as "Zone of Indistinction": The State of Exception and the Spectacle of Terror Along Turkey's Border With Syria
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Sage Publications Inc, 2018)Turkey's border with Syria today is a laboratory in which biopolitics and the spectacle coincide in new ways. As a consequence of the ongoing war between the state and Kurdish insurgents, and the state of emergency accompanying it, this border region has incrementally transformed into a zone of indistinction in which the spatial concepts of inside and outside interpenetrate. As exception is normalized, the logic of the camp (in Agamben's sense) tends to become a dispositif. Exceptional routines ...

Capital Flows and Credit Expansions in Turkey
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Sage Publications Inc, 2014)Literature on capital flows identifies various channels through which capital inflows could create financial fragility and economic instability in developing and emerging economies. Domestic credit expansion is one such channel. Capital inflows can lead to rapid expansion of domestic credit even create credit bubbles and thus result in an increased fragility of the economy. I analyze the link between private capital inflows and bank credit to the private sector in the case of Turkey between 2003 ...

Capitalism Crisis and Class: The United States Economy after the 2008 Financial Crisis
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Sage Publications Inc, 2014)The literature on the outcomes of the financial crisis in low- and middle-income countries in the post-1980 era presents three broad findings: first the burden of crises falls disproportionately on labor in general and low-income segments of the society in particular. Wages and the labor share of income fall unemployment increases the power of labor declines and income inequality and poverty increase. Capital on the other hand recovers quickly and gains more ground. Second government policies favor ...

Contours of Alternative Policy Making in Venezuela
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Sage Publications Inc, 2014)The economic policies of the Venezuelan government in the last decade represent a significant departure from neoliberal orthodoxy. This departure consists of a focus on greater national autonomy, a return to some of the macroeconomic policies of earlier eras, and increased state involvement in the economy through interventions and social programs. While these policies have resulted in improved social indicators, they also have provided space for a set of "transformative" initiatives, including ...

Do Foreigners Count? Internationalization of Presidential Campaigns
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Sage Publications Inc, 2017)The U.S. presidential elections always attract the attention of foreign audienceswho despite not being able to vote choose to follow the campaigns closely.

Mimicking almost hosting a megaevent the elections increase the media coverage on the United States thus making the elections a platform to communicate with the rest of the world and to influence the reputation ...

Does an Abstract Mind-Set Increase the Internal Consistency of Moral Attitudes and Strengthen Individualizing Foundations?
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Sage Publications Inc, 2020)Recent research suggests that experimentally inducing an abstract (vs. a concrete) mind-set enhances political sophistication by increasing the consistency in political attitudes; it also enhances individualizing moral foundations and decreases binding moral foundations. However, the evidence is mixed regarding whether abstract mind-set increases or decreases the strength of moral convictions in general. In this context, the aim of this study was 2-fold. In two preregistered studies on U.S. American ...

Effect of the treatment of brucellosis on leukocyte superoxide dismutase activity and plasma nitric oxide level
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Sage Publications Inc, 2005)Background: The mechanisms by which brucellae evade intracellular killing by polymorphonuclear leukocytes are incompletely understood. In this study we evaluated changes of leukocyte superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and plasma total nitrite as an indicator of nitric oxide (NO) levels during brucellosis therapy. Methods: Thirty-two patients with acute brucellosis 27 patients with chronic brucellosis and 30 healthy controls were included in the study. Patients with acute brucellosis were tested ...

Empirical Evidence of Revenue Management in the Cruise Line Industry
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Sage Publications Inc, 2019)Revenue management (RM) has received considerable attention from both academic and business professionals. It encompasses several techniques regarding capacity allocation pricing and resource management of fixed time-sensitive capacity. RM can be roughly divided into two categories defined by the control mechanism that increases revenue: capacity allocation or price optimization. Our work falls in the latter category. In our model we allow for partial substitutability among products (e.g. a customer ...

Frontline Employee Feedback-Seeking Behavior: How Is It Formed and When Does It Matter?
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Sage Publications Inc, 2019)This research comprises two studies that extend the literature on the proactive behavior of feedback seeking. Study 1 uses cross-sectional data from frontline employees across 51 apparel stores to examine how feedback seeking is formed and under what conditions. The results suggest that the development of feedback-seeking behavior is contingent on a feedback-seeking climate and the relationship between an employee and his or her supervisor. Study 2 uses longitudinal data collected across three ...

Guiding metaphors of nationalism: the Cyprus issue and the construction of Turkish national identity in online discussions
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Sage Publications Inc, 2008)This article is a study of three major metaphors organizing nationalistic discourse about Cyprus in two online forums for Turkish university students. The analysis suggests that discussants symbolically warranted their constructions of the future of Cyprus and Turkish Cypriots with metaphors of blood and heroism that emphasized their personal and collective memory of sacrifice. Sports metaphors were used predominantly to convey a sense of the strategic importance of Cyprus. In addition discussants ...

Improving Energy-Efficiency of WSNs through LEFCA
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Sage Publications Inc, 2016)Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have become an important part of our lives as they can be used in vast application areas from disaster relief to health care. As a consequence the life span and the energy consumption of a WSN have become a challenging research area. According to the existing studies instead of using direct transmission or multihop routing clustering can significantly reduce the energy consumption of sensor nodes and can prolong the lifetime of a WSN. In this paper we propose a low ...

The Perceptual Shock of Qatar Foreign Policy in 2017 Crisis: Systemic Factors, Regional Struggles Versus Domestic Variables
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Sage Publications Inc, 2020)The Qatar crisis of June 2017 commenced without a warning and restored overlooked regional security dynamics to the state, the political elite, and the Qatari society at large. Qatar was cautious about the diversions of its foreign policy from regional security perceptions of its neighbors, even before the crisis, despite its failure to predict imminent political consequences, emerging from some states within the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). In the aftermath of the crisis, critical narratives ...
