The study aims to investigate whether information management practices and organizational intelligence have an effect on a firm’s innovation performance within the framework of resource-based theory via empirical field studies in technology and information technology (IT) companies. The study is mainly conducted on technology and information technology companies operating in the Marmara Region of Turkey. The reason for choosing technology-intensive companies is that the scales used for the survey are organization types, which can accurately measure the institution’s knowledge, organizational intelligence, and innovation performance. The survey collection process includes the data of 495 managers, collected between 2018 and 2019. In this study, in which the effect of the sensitivity between information management practices, the sub-dimensions of organizational intelligence on innovation performance, and financial and growth performance are examined within the framework of resource-based theory, (i) a significant relationship is determined between information management practices and both a firm’s innovation performance and its financial and growth performance; (ii) innovation performance is found to have a direct and positive effect on a firm’s growth and financial performance; (iii) while the presence of perceived knowledge, which is one of the sub-dimensions of organizational intelligence, has no strong impact on innovation performance, mental model development has a direct and positive effect on innovation performance. The fact that there are few studies in the literature, to the best of our knowledge, examining information management practices, organizational intelligence, innovation performance, and financial and growth performance together increases the relevance of this study. Therefore, it is believed that the study will contribute to the literature with theoretical and managerial implications.

The study aims to define strategic orientations and examine the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation activities and firm performance. For this purpose, the concepts of strategic orientation, entrepreneurial orientation and firm performance are explained in the relevant sections based on the research in the literature. The study used international examples that associate the entrepreneurial orientation of family and non-family companies with firm performance. One of the most important results of the study is that the entrepreneurial orientation of family firms has a weak or non-existent relationship with firm performance. Family businesses tend to be less involved in entrepreneurial orientation activities than non-family companies. Another important result is that entrepreneurial orientation has a more positive effect on the performance of non-family firms than family firms. This study is likely to positively contribute to the literature by providing a new perspective to scientists and administrators and summarizing important resources in one place. The study differs from similar studies as it deals with the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and firm performance by including family and non-family companies in the process with a holistic approach. Since the samples subject to the study were selected without making any distinction between country, sector and size in this research, the scope is limited. The relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and firm performance could not be determined statistically since the study is qualitative.

The findings demonstrate that digital work intensity creates significant challenges for remote employees’ well-being, with daily working hours and screen time emerging as primary predictors of increased stress and reduced work-life balance satisfaction. Physical health behaviors, particularly physical activity and adequate sleep, serve as protective factors that improve well-being and enhance productivity beyond the effects of work patterns alone. Work-life balance satisfaction acts as a critical mediating pathway, explaining approximately one-third of the relationship between work demands and productivity outcomes. The importance of well-being factors for sustaining productivity becomes more pronounced under high work demand conditions, suggesting that employee support becomes more crucial during periods of work intensification. Three distinct remote worker profiles were identified: “Balanced Performers,” who maintained sustainable work practices and high productivity; “Digital Immersers,” who worked extensively but showed moderate performance; and “Struggling Remotes,” who experienced significant well-being challenges and lower productivity. These findings highlight the critical importance of balancing digital work demands with physical health behaviors and work-life boundaries to sustain both well-being and performance in remote work environments.

Çalışmanın amacı meslek yüksekokullarındaki sağlık programlarında okuyan öğrencilerin Hastane Yönetimi ve Organizasyonu dersine ilişkin algılarını ölçümlemek, incelemek ve akademisyenlere dersin geliştirilmesi için çeşitli öneriler sunmaktır. Araştırma evrenini Beykent Üniversitesi Meslek Yüksekokulu sağlık programları öğrencilerinin oluşturduğu bu çalışmada küme örnekleme yöntemi ile belirlenen toplam 249 öğrenci üzerinde anket uygulaması gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veri toplama aracı olarak Banoğlu ve Baş'ın 2012 yılında kullandıkları "Ders Algı Ölçeği" çalışmaya adapte edilerek kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre öğrencilerin Hastane Yönetimi ve Organizasyonu dersine verdikleri önem ile dersten bekledikleri sosyal kazanımlar arasında yüksek düzeyde pozitif ilişkiler tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca sonuçlar dersi ilk defa alanların, dersten kalıp tekrar kalanlara oranla belirgin bir şekilde derse daha fazla önem verdiklerini ve bu ders için başarı odaklı ilerlemeye çalıştıklarını ortaya koymuştur. Dersin tekrar sayısı arttıkça verilen önem düzeyi belirgin bir şekilde düşmektedir. Ayrıca yapılan kümeleme analizinde öğrencilerin kendi içerisinde üç farklı nitelikte kategoriye ayrıldıkları görülmüştür. Kategorik karşılaştırma bilgileri sonuçlar bölümünde detaylı olarak sunulmuştur. Çalışma sonucunda ortaya çıkan bulgular hem akademisyenler hem de sağlık profesyonelleri açısından önemli geribildirimler içermektedir.
