Purpose–The aim of this study is to investigate whether there is a decrease in employees' intention to leave their jobs due to organizational trust, and whether employees' self-efficacy plays a role in enhancing or mediating the impact of organizational trust on turnover intention.Design/methodology/approach–This research was carried out with the convenience sampling method model, which is one of the quantitative research methods. To investigate how organizational trust impacts turnover intention and assess the mediating role of self-efficacy in this relationship, a total of 299 completed surveys were gathered from employees in the service sector. These surveys were then subjected to validity and reliability analyses, as well as bootstrapping procedures, using Smart PLS 4 and IBM SPSS 26.Findings–The findings verify the adverse impact of organizational trust on turnover intention. It unveils a noteworthy direct negative correlation between employees' organizational trust and their turnover intention. Furthermore, the results identify self-efficacy as a statistically significant and partially observed mediator between organizational trust and turnover intention.Discussion–By revealing that organizational trust plays a pivotal role in curbing employee turnover intention—an imperative concern for organizations—this study contributes to the existing literature. Furthermore, it sheds light on how employees' self-efficacy enhances this dynamic. Consequently, this research not only enriches scholarly understanding but also offers a valuable perspective for managerial consideration.

It is widely accepted that sport plays a critical role in the achievement of sustainable development goals. The sport colleges, faculties, and universities that have undertaken the role to educate students, future trainers, educators, managers, and academic staff naturally have a significant impact on increasing awareness regarding sustainability issues. Therefore, in this study, the awareness, perception, and knowledge of the academic staff working in sport faculties and the factors affecting them are analyzed. For this purpose, a survey including a total of 19 questions is designed to measure the level of awareness regarding sustainable development, and it is answered by 366 faculty members in all 75 sport faculties in Türkiye. The results of the study point out that the vast majority of sport academics at universities have a common, general understanding of sustainability, but insufficient awareness of sustainable development goals and the relationship between sport and sustainable development. Furthermore, recognition and awareness regarding sustainable development seem to be limited at the institutional level. However, the results also imply that a great majority of the respondents are aware of the importance of sustainability and consider it necessary to improve themselves and their courses accordingly. Therefore, including sustainability issues in the curriculum, increasing awareness in all layers of institutions, and implementing sustainability in the entire higher education system with projects, seminars, and on-campus events are recommended.

This study explores the complex relationships among student cynicism, student–university identification, academic self-efficacy, and academic performance within the context of Turkish higher education. Drawing on social identity and social cognitive theories, student cynicism is examined through four dimensions: academic, policy-related, institutional, and social. Survey data were collected from 630 university students in Ankara, Türkiye, using a cross-sectional design and self-reported measures. The results indicate that institutional cynicism is the strongest negative predictor of student–university identification, while academic cynicism shows a curvilinear (U-shaped) relationship with academic performance, suggesting that extreme cynicism may paradoxically be linked to modest performance rebounds. Contrary to expectations, student–university identification does not significantly predict academic performance, nor does it mediate the relationship between cynicism and performance. However, academic self-efficacy moderates the relationship between identification and performance, amplifying the benefits of identification for students with higher levels of self-efficacy. These findings offer culturally grounded insights into student disengagement and highlight the importance of fostering trust, transparency, and self-efficacy to support student well-being and academic resilience, key elements in advancing Sustainable Development Goals 4 (Quality Education) and 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth).

Recently, some cardiovascular surgeons have been increasingly using social media for marketing, often employing misleading terminology. This trend, which we termed the “cardiovascular scamdemic,” involves the widespread dissemination of deceptive advertisements for cardiovascular treatments, resembling an epidemic. Exposure to such misinformation not only endangers patients, who naturally rely on information from professional sources, but also erodes public trust in medical ethics and scientific integrity. Additionally, it contributes to treatment refusal and adverse health outcomes. The lack of comprehensive global regulations addressing these issues highlights the urgent need for more effective enforcement measures.

Bu araştırma, Sosyal karşılaştırma teorisine dayanan Sosyal Zayıflatma (Social Undermining) Ölçeği’nin Türkçeye çeviri ve uyarlamasını kapsamaktadır. Duffy, Ganster & Pagon, (2002) tarafından geliştirilen Sosyal Zayıflatma (Social Undermining) Ölçeği yöneticiler tarafından zayıflatma ve iş arkadaşları tarafından zayıflatma olmak üzere iki boyutla ölçülmektedir. Söz konusu ölçeğin her bir boyutunda 13 madde olup toplam 26 maddede oluşmaktadır. Araştırmanın örneklemi 650 çalışandan anket yöntemiyle toplanan verilerden oluşmaktadır. Ölçek varyans yapısı ve kovaryans ilişkileri dikkate alınarak yapı geçerliliği ve eş zaman geçerliliği ile test edilmiştir. Güvenilirlik için soruların iç tutarlılık testleri yapılmış ayrıca ölçeğin cinsiyet açısından farksızlığı hesaplanmıştır. Yapılan tüm analizler sonucunda ölçeğin geçerli ve güvenilir olduğuna ilişkin yeterli kanıtlara ulaşılmıştır. Bu çerçevede özenle ve uluslararası çeviri aşamaları dikkate alınarak yapılmış bu çalışmanın Türkçe dilinde yapılan çalışmalar için kullanılması uygundur.

This study aims to examine the impact of social undermining on job crafting, which is considered indispensable for the survival of organizations within dynamic and changing environmental conditions, and to investigate the role of organizational trust in this effect. Moreover, the investigation delves into potential differentials in the influence of these factors upon blue- and white-collar personnel. Empirical data were collected from a cohort of 416 individuals encompassing blue and white-collar designations, employed across the upper echelon of Turkey's civil aviation sector, comprised of the country's top five companies. The dataset underwent scrutiny through the utilization of Smart PLS 4 and IBM SPSS 26 for analytical purposes. The results discern that organizational trust assumes a mediational role in the relationship between social undermining and job crafting. The mediation effect displays a partial manifestation among blue-collar staff, while a complete mediation effect manifests among their white-collar counterparts. Beyond its primary findings, this study augments scholarly understanding of the repercussions stemming from negative and deviant conduct in relation to job crafting and organizational trust. Moreover, it enriches the existing literature concerning the influence of social undermining on job crafting and organizational trust within the realms of blue- and white-collar employees.
