The competitive psychological environment that arises within an organization is widely recognized as a crucial factor impacting employee performance and, indirectly, overall business productivity. Nonetheless, mishandling this environment can result in unforeseen challenges. Thus, a moderated mediation model was employed in this study to ascertain the adverse effects of competitive psychological climate and how to mitigate said effects. Data were collected via a survey of 523 employees of four- and five-star accommodation establishments in Alanya and Manavgat using convenience sampling. This study revealed that a competitive work environment leads to increased workplace envy, which adversely affects interpersonal citizenship behavior. Additionally, it was discovered that workplace envy mediates the effects of competitive climate on interpersonal citizenship behavior. The negative impact of competitive psychological climate on workplace envy and interpersonal citizenship behavior is mitigated by organizational justice. This study’s results offer significant contributions to both theoretical and practical understandings of the potential effects of competitive psychological climate and how to handle them.

In recent years, the changes in people's lifestyles, the inactivity caused by work life and sustainable environmental goals have increased the importance of cycling. There are numerous economic, health and environmental benefits of cycling. A significant number of people of all ages around the world have realized these benefits and have adopted cycling as a lifestyle. These people also want to use their bicycles for travelling. Those who use bicycles for sports may travel to participate in bicycle races. Recreational cyclists travel to attend cycling festivals in different cities and countries. Some people make all their trips on bicycles and travel to different cities and even different countries using bicycles. All of these activities carried out by bicycles constitute cycling tourism. This type of tourism, which has an important place among alternative tourism types, also contributes to the efforts of a destination to spread tourism over time and space. Besides, bicycle infrastructure projects to be implemented within the destination will encourage local people to use bicycles. In this study, bicycle tourism, which has become increasingly important worldwide and has limited studies in the Turkish literature, has been discussed in different dimensions. In this context, bicycle tourism has been presented under the titles of "The Development of Cycling Tourism in the World", "Cycling Tourism within the Scope of Sustainable Tourism", "Importance of Bike Sharing Systems in Cycling Tourism", " The Economy of Cycling Tourism" and " The Factors Affecting the Development of Cycling Tourism" by reviewing the literature with the systematic review method.

Brand equity and destination branding subjects are among the most important issues in the field of destination marketing that have concerned the business managers and destination management organizations operating in the tourism sector. Particularly in recent periods, as a result of the growing competition, there has been a significant increase in the studies on the branding of a destination. The main objective of this research is to determine the effect of destination brand value on travel intention and examine the moderator role of cross-cultural differences in this effect. Another primary objective of the research is to ascertain the effect of destination brand equity on travel intention. Besides, the moderator role of intercultural difference on the mentioned effect has been examined. The research was carried out with the participation of 395 tourists from different countries in Side, considered one of Turkey's most important tourist destinations. The research data were collected by convenience sampling method, and the created model was tested with structural equation modeling. Besides, Process Macro was used in order to determine the moderator effect. When the research results were examined, it was concluded that the brand equity dimensions of destination brand awareness and destination loyalty had a significant effect on travel intention. In addition to these, tourists from Europe and Asia play a moderator role in this effect. The absence of a study among the studies that measure the relationship between brand equity and travel intention that determines the moderator role of culture reveals the originality of the study and its contribution to the literature. In the light of the results taken from the research, a number of suggestions have been presented to sector representatives, academicians studying in the literature, and destination management organizations, as well.

The need for production, driven by the rapid increase in consumption alongside the growth of the human population, has led to problems such as depletion of natural resources and environmental pollution. Sustainable tourism practices that respect the natural and cultural heritage of tourism destinations and foster a sense of protection while using these practices are of critical importance. This study aims to evaluate the ancient city of Side within the scope of sustainable tourism criteria. The ancient city of Side differs from other ancient cities in that it is a living city and demonstrates the originality of this article. The study was conducted using a qualitative method based on the interpretivist paradigm. The data were collected from 8 participants through a semi-structured interview. To examine Side within a living-heritage governance context, we adopted a qualitative single-instrumental case study grounded in the interpretivist paradigm (Merriam, 2018). This design enables an in-depth, multi-stakeholder understanding of sustainability criteria in practice. We used purposive (judgmental) sampling to capture diverse perspectives across stakeholder groups: archaeologists, museum professionals, local entrepreneurs/tradespeople, tourist guides, and foreign tourists. The final sample comprised eight participants. According to the research findings, the ancient city of Side is lacking in many respects when evaluated against sustainable tourism criteria. In light of this research's findings, the ancient city of Side is lacking in many respects when evaluated against sustainable tourism criteria. The ancient city of Side will become more sustainable through the “Heritage for the Future” project of the Ministry of Tourism and Culture, which was ongoing at the time of the research.

Employee perceptions of greenwashing capture judgments about inconsistencies between an employer’s environmental claims and its practices, complementing the largely consumer-focused measurement literature. This study adapted Chen and Chang’s five-item perceived greenwashing measure to an employee-referent Turkish hospitality context and examined its initial psychometric properties. Following translation, expert review, cognitive interviews, and a separate pilot (N = 60), 683 employees from 19 establishments completed the main survey. The main survey was randomly divided into non-overlapping exploratory (n = 341) and confirmatory (n = 342) subsamples from the same recruitment period. Parallel analysis supported one factor, and the confirmatory model showed good fit (χ²(5) = 3.97, CFI = 1.000, RMSEA = 0.000, SRMR = 0.011). Composite reliability was 0.876 and average variance extracted was 0.586 in the confirmatory subsample. A multi-construct measurement model differentiated perceived greenwashing from organizational cynicism and green satisfaction. In the full sample, perceived greenwashing was positively associated with cynicism (r = 0.653) and negatively associated with green satisfaction (r = −0.602), providing initial nomological evidence. These findings support the cautious use of this adapted measure in comparable Turkish hospitality samples; generalizability beyond this sampling frame and potential common-method bias require further investigation.
