Technology affects educational institutions like every other field. Higher education institutions, which are the main source of new knowledge creation and dissemination, are now dominated by digital technologies. The acquisition of digital literacy skills, which is among the 21st-century competencies, is possible with the positive attitudes and skills of academics, who are instructors in higher education institutions, towards the use of digital technologies. As role models in strengthening digital literacy, academics should develop themselves in line with strategies that include elements of the digital age and more active learning, and be able to transfer these strategies to educational practices. Otherwise, it will not be possible to increase the quality of education and it is inevitable for academicians to experience career dissatisfaction with the feeling of failure. Despite the importance of the subject, digital literacy of academicians has not been adequately addressed in the literature and the relationship between academics' digital literacy levels and career satisfaction has not been focused. Based on this gap, in this study, the concept of "digital literacy" is handled specifically for academics working in universities operating in Istanbul, Turkey, and it is aimed to contribute to the literature by revealing the relationship between academics' digital literacy and career satisfaction. The cross-sectional survey method, a quantitative research technique, was utilized in the research as a data collection and analysis tool. For this purpose, the data collected through questionnaires from 304 academics with a simple random sampling method were analyzed. As a result of the analysis, it was found that academics' digital literacy explained the career satisfaction variable by 28.1% at a 0.01 significance level. Finally, the significant positive relationship between academics' digital literacy and career satisfaction can be interpreted as that academics who cannot develop digital literacy skills and transfer these skills to teaching environments will not be able to achieve career satisfaction by experiencing a sense of failure because they cannot provide an education in line with the expectations of the digital age. In addition, according to the research findings, it was found that the digital literacy and career satisfaction levels of the academicians differ according to age, working time, academic title, and having a personal web page.

The purpose of this research is to understand the relationship between green business ethics, green finance, and sustainable business performance, and to evaluate the role of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in this relationship. The impact of the damage inflicted on nature’s functioning order is being felt much more strongly today. In light of these realities, companies must emphasize sustainability principles not just out of financial concerns but as a result of corporate social responsibility. In this context, focusing on the role of corporate social responsibility in sustainable business performance is the main goal of this research. Quantitative research methods, specifically the cross-sectional survey method, were employed for data collection and analysis. For this purpose, a convenience sampling method was used to select 427 white-collar employees working in industries operating in Türkiye as the sample for this study. The data collected through surveys were analyzed using the AMOS 24 statistical program. The findings underscore that green business ethics and green finance have a significant impact on corporate social responsibility and sustainable business performance. Additionally, it was determined that corporate social responsibility plays an intermediary role in shaping sustainable business performance. These findings are expected to provide an important foundation that can guide both employees and managers in developing awareness about green policies and sustainability, emphasizing the importance of green policies in working life.

Tr en Bu araştırma da, çalışma yaşamında cinsel yönelim temeline dayalı kimliğin rolü incelenmektedir. Bu bağlamda, çalışanların farklılık iklimi algılarını ölçüp, cinsel yönelim farklılıklarının bireysel ve örgütsel çıktılar üzerindeki etkisinin geçerliliği ve geleceği tartışılmaktadır. Farklılıklar, farklılıkların yönetimi, farklılık iklimi literatüründen yararlanarak, sosyal kimlik teorisi ve cinsiyet rolleri teorisini temel alan bu makalenin araştırma yöntemi nicel desenlidir. Ortaya konan hipotezler, anket yönetimiyle temin edilen veriler aracılığıyla test edilmiştir. Elde edilen verilere uygulanan analiz sonuçları modelin açıklayıcılık gücünün yüksek olduğunu göstermektedir. Cinsel yönelim farklılıkları algılanan farklılık iklimi, bireysel ve örgütsel çıktılar üzerinde farklılaştırıcı etkiye sahiptir. Daha önce sınırlı sayıda yapılan araştırmalarda da görülmektedir ki, çalışma yaşamındaki cinsel yönelim farklılıkların ne yönde değerlendirilmesi gerektiğine dair boşluk henüz doldurulamamıştır. Çalışma yaşamındaki farklılık iklimi algısını, bireysel çıktıları (iş tatmini, kariyer tatmini, örgütsel bağlılık) ve örgütsel çıktıları (iletişim ve işbirliği ortamı, davranışsal yenilikçilik, işten ayrılma niyeti) cinsel yönelime dayalı kimlik bağlamında inceleyen bu çalışmanın, ilgili yazına ve iş dünyasına katkı sağlaması amaçlanmaktadır.

This study aims to examine digital footprint management and digital footprint awareness and deals with this question by focusing on the concept of digital burial: What will happen to our digital data after death? Digital footprint management is a new term and has found a narrow area in the literature on management science. This study is an attempt to raise awareness of this concept. It employs the review of secondary sources as one of qualitative research methods. In addition, it examines various studies under the scope of secondary literature review and then they are subjected to word cloud analysis by taking their keywords to determine focal points of publications conducted in the field of digital footprint with the assistance of program MAXQDA 2022. According to its findings, the correct and effective use of digital footprints is a requirement of digital citizenship. The subject of digital burial, discussed in the context of digital footprint management is a fairly new concept in the literature and this situation is the most important limitation of this study.

Yaşanan teknolojik gelişmelerle birlikte internetin, günlük yaşamın vazgeçilmez bir unsuru olması geride bıraktığımız ayak izlerini giderek dijitalleştirmektedir. Bu bağlamda, öldüğümüzde “Dijital varlıklarımıza ne olacak?” sorusu giderek daha önemli hale gelmektedir. Dijital varlıkların yönetimi ile anlamlılık kazanan bu konu, dijital miras kavramını ortaya çıkarmıştır. Özellikle yerli yazında çok az çalışılmış olan, uluslararası yazında ise hukuki, tarihsel boyutu ile ağırlıklı yer bulmuş olan dijital miras kavramını incelemek alan yazına katkı sunmak açısından önem arz etmektedir. Dijital miras, dijitalleşmenin bir sonucu olarak hayatımıza giren, dijital ortamda somut ve soyut malvarlıklarının (alan adları, sosyal medya hesapları vb.), kişinin ölümünden sonra saklanması, depolanması, varislere devrini de içeren bir kavramdır. Dijital miras konusunun anlaşılır kılınması için, nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden ikincil kaynak taraması yapılarak konuya yönelik farkındalık oluşturmak araştırmanın birincil amacıdır. Ayrıca dijital miras kavramını sürdürülebilirlik yönetimi bağlamında ele alarak stratejik yönetime dair birtakım çıkarımlarda bulunmak, bu alanda çalışmak isteyen akademisyenlere de yol gösterici olmak amaçlanmıştır. Elde edilen bulgulara göre, sürdürülebilir dijital miras konusunun ulusal ve uluslararası alan yazında bu bağlamda ele alınmadığı, dijital mirasa yönelik ulusal yazında oldukça az çalışma olduğu, yapılan çalışmaların odak noktasının yasal düzenlemelere yönelik olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
