This study aims to synthesize key elements from sustainable packaging research on consumer behavior and apply the Stimulus-Organism-Response (SOR) model to understand consumer responses. A systematic literature review (SLR) using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) method was utilized to compile the current body of knowledge concerning sustainable packaging. Through a SLR, this study concluded the effects of various marketing and external stimuli on consumers’ perceptions and responses in the context of sustainable packaging, using the SOR model as a framework. The final list of 63 studies provides an integrative framework to better understand consumer behavior regarding sustainable packaging. Stimuli relevant to sustainable packaging are categorized into other stimuli and marketing stimuli, prominently including packaging, product attributes, brand, and label. Psychological and personal factors dominate the variables related to the organism, while behavior, particularly in sustainable consumption is the most frequently mentioned response. The unique aspect of this study is its thorough examination of the subject within the framework of the SOR model, utilizing a wide range of search terms related to sustainable packaging.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to reveal the research trends in guest experiences of service robots in the hospitality industry.Design/methodology/approach: In this study, a review was carried out on the Web of Science (WoS) database with the assistance of bibliometric analysis techniques. Cluster analysis was also employed for this to group important data to determine the relationships and to visualize the areas in which the studies are concentrated. The thematic content analysis method was used to reveal on which customer experiences and on which methods the focuses were.Findings: On the subject of experiences of service robots, the greatest number of publications was in 2021. In terms of country, China has come to the fore in the distribution of publications. As a result of thematic content analysis, it was determined that the leading factor was the main dimension of emotional experience. In terms of sub-dimensions, social interactions attracted more attention. Most of the studies discussed were not based on any theory. Apart from these, the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), the Service Quality Model (SERVQUAL) and Perceived Value Theory (PVT) were featured more prominently among other studies.Research limitations/implications: In this study, only the WoS database was reviewed. In future studies, it would be possible to make contextual comparisons by scanning other databases. In addition to quantitative research designs, social dimensions may be examined in depth following qualitative research methods. Thus, various comparisons can be made on the subject with mixed-method research designs. Experimental research designs can also be applied to where customers have experienced human-robot interactions (HRIs).Originality/value: In the hospitality industry, it is critical to uncover every dimension of guests' robot acceptance. This study, which presents the current situation on this basis, guides future projections for the development of guest experiences regarding service robots in the hospitality industry.

Bu araştırmada, Türkiye’deki bir kamu yükseköğretim kurumunun akredite akademik birimlerindeki aktörlerinin kalite, kalite güvence ve sürdürülebilir kaliteye ilişkin algılarının belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Nitel paradigma çerçevesinde betimsel durum çalışması gerçekleştirilmiştir. Temel veri geliştirme aracı olarak yarı yapılandırılmış mülakat formu kullanılmıştır. Araştırma verileri, ele alınan devlet üniversitesinin hem kalite yönetim sistemi hem de akreditasyon belgesine sahip olan tıp ve turizm fakültelerindeki yönetsel, akademik ve idari düzeydeki kalite aktörlerinden oluşan 18 kişilik bir katılımcı grubundan sağlanmıştır. Çalışmada elde edilen veriler içerik analizine tabi tutulmuştur. Yapılan içerik analizi sonucunda, yükseköğretimde kalitenin ne olduğuna yönelik birinci araştırma sorusu kapsamında; eğitim-öğretim, araştırma-geliştirme, yönetim ve idari süreçler ana temalarının öne çıktığı görülmektedir. Yükseköğretimde kalite güvencenin ne olduğuna yönelik ikinci araştırma sorusu kapsamında ise, kurumsal iç ve dış değerlendirme ana temaları oluşmuştur. Yükseköğretimde sürdürülebilir kalitenin ne olduğuna yönelik üçüncü araştırma sorusu kapsamında da kalite kültürünün içselleştirilmesi ve yaygınlaştırılması ana teması ortaya çıkmıştır. Yükseköğretimde kalite, kalite güvence ve sürdürülebilir kaliteye ilişkin farkındalık oluşturulması ve söz konusu farkındalığın arttırılması ile üniversitelerde kalite kültürünün içselleştirilmesi ve yaygınlaştırılmasına ilişkin sonuçlarıyla bu araştırma; Türk yükseköğretim sisteminin geliştirilmesine yönelik niteliksel bulgular sunmaktadır.

This study explores the factors that influence women’s career decisions in the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) sector, as perceived by women Management Information Systems (MIS) students. It examines how career optimism (CO) and perceived employability (PE) affect the link between irrational beliefs about employment (IB) and career decisiveness (CD). The study involved 232 female students from ICT-related programs in Turkey. Data were collected using four different scales and analyzed for accuracy and connections between factors. To prevent the effects of common method bias, Harman’s single-factor test was used, followed by an analysis of mediation effects. Results showed that women students’ IB about employment negatively impacted their CD. CO helped mediate this effect. Moreover, both CO and PE together had a mediating role in how IB affected CD. These findings offer valuable insights into the individual and contextual factors shaping women’s career decisions. They also support initiatives to boost women’s career stability, which aligns with the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 5 and 8. Encouraging career optimism and employability may reduce the negative effects of IB and contribute to a fairer job market where women can pursue ambitious careers.

This study aims to reveal the components of workplace spirituality for the nursing profession, which has an inherent spiritual orientation, especially in extraordinary conditions such as pandemics. In this study, the Web of Science (WoS) database was examined with the help of bibliometric analysis techniques. In order to reveal the components of workplace spirituality in the nursing profession, six main components were identified by thematic content analysis method. These are nursing education, organizational context, recruitment-orientation, work environment experience, training programs and developing harmonious working relationships. The main contribution of the research is a comprehensive model proposal for the components of workplace spirituality for the nursing profession.

The purpose of this study is to reveal the researches that deal with teleworking and technostress together with their individual, organizational and social dimensions in a holistic way within the framework of the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) Model. In this study, a review was carried out on the Web of Science (WoS) and the Scopus databases with the assistance of bibliometric analysis techniques and the PRISMA method. The thematic content analysis method was used to reveal on which dimensions of technostress associated with teleworking and on which methods the focuses were. It can be stated that the results of the relationship analysis based on keyword frequency, performance analysis and thematic content analysis carried out within the scope of the research are consistent with each other. At this point, the findings of the research have revealed that technostress poses a dark side to teleworking as an organizational behavior challenge stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic. The current study found that teleworking-related technostress significantly affects employee well-being, with important impacts on the ISO 45003:2021 standard, and the Sustainable Development Goal 3. On the basis of being such a comprehensive and comparative research on the subject, it contributes to the relevant literature and practice.
