Analysis of the Concept of Social Responsibility in the Nexus of Instituional Logics
(2022) Beger, Gizem Aras; Özmen, Duygu Türker
Organizations show significant differences in their corporate social responsibility (CSR) orientations and practices. While some organizations take a more instrumental strategic approach to CSR, it is observed that some organizations approach CSR with a more societal approach within the scope of ethical values. The institutional logics approach, which requires different institutional order contents, comes to the fore in explaining these differences. However, the literature points to an important gap, especially in how institutional logics emerge and are adapted within organizations. However, it is emphasized that there are very few studies on CSR practices, particularly in developing country contexts. Therefore, the aim of the study is to reveal whether the existing institutional logics in the environment, where organizations operate, have any effects on the different approaches they display in terms of CSR orientations and practices, what kind of effects they have and how they occur. For this purpose, the mixed-method approach was followed in the current study within the scope of both quantitative and qualitative research. While the semi-structured interview technique was used in the qualitative study, the quantitative study was carried out with the questionnaire technique. In the qualitative and quantitative parts of the research, companies operating in the Aegean Region constitute the sample. In the qualitative part, interviews were conducted with a total of fourteen senior managers, working in the units related to CSR, from companies operating in the textile and food sectors, while a total of one hundred and ninety-two questionnaires were obtained from companies operating in different sectors for the quantitative part of the study. According to the results of the study, it was revealed that there is a positive relationship between institutional logics and perceived benefits, and that paradox mindset and multi-stakeholder effects also mediate this relationship. Finally, several limitations and suggestions for future research are presented, along with theoretical and managerial implications.
DEĞİŞİME DİRENÇ VE ALGILANAN STRES İLİŞKİSİ: SİSTEMATİK LİTERATÜR TARAMASI VE NİCEL BİR ARAŞTIRMA
(2018) DUYGU TÜRKER ÖZMEN; GİZEM ARAS BEGER; Özmen, Duygu Türker; Beger, Gizem Aras
Değişim günümüz toplumlarında örgütlerin ve örgüt çalışanlarınınuyum sağlamasını gerektiren kaçınılamaz bir olgu haline gelmiştir.Değişimle birlikte bireyin yaşamının psikolojik zihinsel ve davranışsalboyutta olumsuz yönde etkileneceği düşüncesi değişime karşı olumsuzbir tutuma sahip olmasına ve değişime direnç göstermesine yolaçmaktadır. Örgütlerde değişim sürecinin ve sonuçlarının etkin birşekilde yönetilebilmesi için değişime direnç olgusunun ve bu durumunetkilerinin ayrıntılı olarak analiz edilmesi gerekmektedir. Literatürdeörgütsel değişim ile ilgili çok sayıda çalışma bulunmasına rağmen çalışmaların büyük oranda makro düzeyde süreçlere odaklandığı vemikro düzeyde analizlerin sayıca az olduğu göze çarpmaktadır. Buçalışma değişime direnç olgusunu bireysel düzeyde ele alarak çalışanların değişime karşı gösterdikleri direncin stres algısı üzerindekietkisini incelemektir. Bu amaçla İzmir ilinde devlet ve vakıfüniversitelerinin farklı fakültelerinden çeşitli ünvanlara sahip 115akademisyen üzerinde bir araştırma gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmanınsonuçları örgütlerde bireylerin değişime karşı gösterdikleri dirençdüzeyinin algılanan stres düzeyini etkilediğini ortaya koymaktadır.Çalışmada ayrıca değişime direncin dört alt boyutu içerisinde en çokrutini arama boyutunun algılanan stres üzerinde etkisi olduğugörülmüştür

How Competing Institutional Logics Affect Corporate Social Responsibility Benefits: the Mediating Role of Paradox Mindset and Multi-Stakeholders
(Springer, 2024) Gizem Aras-Beger; Beger, Gizem Aras; ARAS BEGER, Gizem
Organizations differ in their corporate social responsibility (CSR) orientation the effects of which manifest themselves in organizational outcomes. Drawing on the institutional logics perspective the current study explains the underlying dynamics of these differences. The current study aims at revealing how organizations can achieve combined CSR benefits for both society and business by exploring the ways of how social and commercial logic function differently in the context of CSR and shape organizations’ CSR together with some mediators. Based on the developed typology by the current study for CSR a research model is created for the analysis. A survey was conducted with 192 companies operating in various sectors. The findings confirm the dichotomy which is theoretically proposed by the developed typology of the current study between institutional logics and perceived CSR benefits: commercial logic mostly increases CSR benefits for business while social logic increases CSR benefits for society. Furthermore the current study finds out that it is possible for commercial logic to provide CSR benefits for society and social logic to provide CSR benefits for business thanks to some organizational capabilities that allow overcoming the complexity arising from the different organizational prescriptions of competing institutional logics. Thus paradox mindset and multi-stakeholders can enable combined CSR benefits by mediating between incompatible structures of multiple logics. Given the importance of approaching strategically in today’s turbulent business environment both academics and practitioners can use this model to achieve CSR benefits simultaneously for both business and society by managing multiple goals. © 2024 Elsevier B.V.

HOW ORGANIZATIONAL ENVIRONMENT AFFECTS SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY: A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW AND CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF STAKEHOLDER THEORY
(INT JOURNAL CONTEMPORARY ECONOMICS & ADMINISTRATIVE SCIENCES, 2020) Gizem Aras Beger; Beger, Gizem Aras
Given that corporate social responsibility (CSR) has been affected by various factors within or outside the organization this study focuses on the interaction of CSR with various environmental dynamics. In Turkish literature however this interaction has not been studied comprehensively while organizations' CSR relationships especially with their external environment have remained uncertain. The study first aims to reveal the magnitude of the problem in Turkish literature related to CSR/CSR-environment interactions by reviewing the literature. Second it seeks possible remedies for overcoming this problem by examining organizations' relations especially with their external environment within the scope of stakeholder theory. To achieve these aims the study firstly provides a systematic literature review (SLR) based on the Ulakbim Social Sciences Database after some discussion about CSR-organizational environment-stakeholder relationships. This relationship landscape is then examined within the context of stakeholder theory through a traditional review of the international literature. From this analysis a conceptual framework is proposed to explain these relationships. Finally some suggestions are presented for future studies.

Leveraging corporate sustainability through responsible innovation: Capacity building with exploration and exploitation
(WILEY, 2023) Gizem Aras Beger; Bayram Bilge Saglam; Duygu Turker; Turker, Duygu; Beger, Gizem Aras; Saglam, Bayram Bilge
The growing literature on corporate sustainability suggests its positive implications for organizations and stakeholders. Based on the social identity approach the current study aims to investigate whether responsible innovation can leverage these sustainability advantages of companies to improve organizational commitment and competitiveness. Responsible innovation has been integrated into an original model as a construct that translates corporate sustainability into organizational outcomes to meet stakeholders' needs and to frame and solve the sustainability-related tensions in an ethical way. The study also attempts to examine the mediating impacts of exploration and exploitation orientations on the proposed link between corporate sustainability and responsible innovation. The model was validated by using the partial least squares structural equation modelling method on a sample of 196 middle managers in small businesses in Turkey. The findings reveal that responsible innovation has a significant mediation effect on the proposed links and both exploration and exploitation elicit the innovation capacity in sustainability practices. The study also supports the argument on the positive impact of exploitation on exploration.
