Having the abilities of self leadership and critical thinking is one of the most important factors for present students to be effective in their future organizations by contributing their organizations’ quality. The aim of this study is to research the general relations between sub-dimensions of university students’ self leadership and critical thinking ability levels. By using Anderson and Prussia's (1997) Self Leadership Scale and Faciona & al's (The California Critical Thinking Disposition İnventory), (1998) Critical Thinking Scale, 257 university students were surveyed, all of whom attends at their last semesters, secondary education at Cumhuriyet University, Faculty of Science and Literature. Obtained datas were analyzed by using correlation and regression methods. The analysis show that while the students’ self leadership levels are high, their critical thinking levels are moderate. A positive moderate correlation was found (r=0,426) between self leadership and critical thinking. The affects of self leadership dimensions on critical thinking were examined by regression analysis. These analysis show that there is a positive and meaningful relation between constructive thinking pattern strategies and natural reward strategies

Mobbing is a significant problem that has devastating effects on victims in the workplace. Studies mainly focus on the antecedents, consequences, and methods of combating mobbing. However, based on global mobbing research, there is a need to see current research trends and conduct a comprehensive review. This study aimed to identify the main research gaps and future directions of relevant publications on workplace mobbing through bibliometric analysis. The study examined 600 scientific studies from approximately 35 years between 1990 and 2024, scanned in the Scopus database. Biblioshiny and VOSviewer programs were used in the bibliometric analysis. The findings revealed seven clusters in determining mobbing calls and priorities in combating mobbing. The results obtained show that not only vertical mobbing originating from managers but also horizontal mobbing has become widespread. The highest exposure is among women, nurses, employees in higher education institutions, and teachers. Italy, Turkey, and Spain lead the studies as the most productive countries. Trending topics of recent times are reliability, validity, nurses, incivility, abusive supervision, burnout, teachers, and leadership. Work stress, working conditions, teachers, victims, nurses, social support, naq-r, and sexual harassment are the most frequently used co-occurrence keywords by authors in recent years. The results showed that the most significant risk factors are diversity factors such as gender, sector, profession, and culture, and that bystander support should be improved. Anticipating mobbing calls on a global and organizational level can draw a new path for the solution of mobbing. In the fight against mobbing, current best practices should be determined within the framework of ethical standards, and more comprehensive strategies should be developed that include the support of the bystanders.

Background: Motivation plays an important role in helping humans take action and work effectively and efficiently. It is important to understand the relationship between work motivation and productivity and to examine the factors associated with them. Objective: This study aimed to conduct a bibliometric analysis of publications on motivation and productivity between 1953 and 2024 and to determine the main findings, most popular variables, and methodologies in these publications. Methods: Data were downloaded from the Scopus database and 3363 articles on the subject published between 1954 and 2024 were examined. A comprehensive bibliometric analysis was performed using the Biblioshiny application of the Bibliometrix package and the VOSviewer program. Results: The study showed an increase in work motivation and productivity publications. The USA, the most cited, collaborative, and productive country, leads all studies. The study presents the most productive authors in this field, the most published journals, the most productive countries, the most used keywords by authors, and trending topics. Conclusions: Developing appropriate working conditions and strategies that will increase the motivation of humans can maximize their potential and productivity. Especially psychology and management, studies are carried out in many fields such as education, health, and engineering. This research provides future researchers with a roadmap to in-depth exploration of the field and potential advances.
