ENVIRONMENTALIST PREDISPOSITIONS AND RECYCLED PRODUCT PREFERENCES
(INT JOURNAL CONTEMPORARY ECONOMICS & ADMINISTRATIVE SCIENCES, 2020) Cagri Bulut; Murat Nazli; Bulut, Cagri; Nazli, Murat
The study aims to uncover environmentalist predispositions based on the Big Five Personality with support of the theory of planned behavior and examines the effects of environmentalists' predispositions on the recycled product preferences. Based on the big five personality traits this paper proposes a typology on the environmentalists' predispositions for conscious consumption studies which consists of concern pleasure consciousness beliefs and norms. The method of the empirical study is a self-reported survey with a sample of 256 participants from a developing economy. The results of the factor analyses confirm the five-dimensional theoretical construct of individuals' predispositions towards environmentalism. Furthermore multiple regression analyses for testing the associations of the environmentalist predispositions on recycled product preferences disclose that among five of the dimensions environmentalist consciousness environmentalist beliefs and environmentalist norms have joint effects on preferring a recycled product. This study is one of the preliminary attempts that examines the effects of environmentalist predispositions on a conscious consumption choice specifically on preferring the recycled products as a green purchasing behavior type.

Purpose: The purpose of this research is to explore and understand the effects of excessive tourism growth on public health local people and the ecosystem. The secondary purpose of the study is to link excessive tourism growth to social exchange theory in terms of interchanging key resources of tourism destinations. Design/methodology/approach: This is an exploratory study where qualitative research methods are employed. Telephone interview technique is used to obtain data from academicians who work at various universities in Turkey. Content analysis and thematic analysis with an inductive approach are made by use of MAXQDA software program. Findings: Findings reveal that the satisfaction of local people is an important gain in terms of the economy but the destruction of the ecosystem due to the excessive crowd in a sense overtourism garbage and too much waste is striking disadvantage based on the responses. Risk of contagious disease effects on the natural environment and wastes are stated to have huge impacts on the public health and ecosystem. Practical implications: The study identifies some implications in terms of imbalance and unfairness among the locals who face with excessive crowds. Managing the effects of excessive tourism growth on vulnerable destinations and local people controlling the carrying capacity in destinations with anxiety fear depression health problems and low living standards should be taken under consideration. Additionally finding ways to get rid of infectious diseases (such as increasing health checkpoints at borders investigating the carrying capacity of destinations) is important for tourism spots. Originality/value: As a major theoretical contribution this study links excessive tourism growth to social exchange theory and reveals that the degree of exchanging valuable resources in the destination and the level of interaction between locals and tourists are the most critical points for the well-being of the local community and ecosystem. © 2021 Elsevier B.V.

Gen Z travel intentions and museum visits in the metaverse: case of Egypt- Scotland- and Turkey
(ROUTLEDGE JOURNALS TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2025) Murat Nazli; Cagri Bulut; Yasin Ozarslan; Nazli, Murat; Bulut, Cagri; Ozarslan, Yasin
This early-stage study explores Gen Z's travel intentions and virtual museum visits in the metaverse by experiencing Egypt Scotland and Turkey. The subjective perception and judgment of Gen Z users are investigated in the immersive environment. Semi-structured interviews and laboratory sessions took place with 20 volunteers in three studies. Study 1 and Study 2 reveal different views of Gen Z concerning their travel intentions as two open-air experiences in the metaverse. Study 3 shows Gen Z perspectives of a virtual museum visit as an indoor experience. Through this study we could form a link between the metaverse and Gen Z travel intentions using two travel applications for Egypt and Scotland and a museum application for Turkey which has rarely been discussed before. The study also guides an experience interaction interface design for VR 360 video and future-related tourism products and services for Gen Z users. The study illuminates the travel and metaverse relationship for future studies for practitioners and researchers.

(ACAD CONFERENCES LTD, 2013) Cagri Bulut; Eda Evla Mutlu; Murat Nazli; Mutlu, Eda Evla; Bulut, Cagri; Nazli, Murat; P Teirlinck; S Kelchtermans; F DeBeule
Entrepreneurship and Innovation related regional and national development has become a phenomenon for the last decades, however the outcomes of these endeavors have attracted many researchers agencies and international organisations such as European Commission Global Entrepreneurship Monitor etc. through their projects programs departments or initiatives. Therefore this study examines the worldwide known six Innovation and Entrepreneurship Initiatives (here after IEIs) assessing of entrepreneurship and innovation. The main IEIs are (IUS) Innovation Union Scoreboard GEM (Global Entrepreneurship Monitor) GII (Global Innovation Index) and ICI (Innovation Capacity Index) GEINDEX (Global Entrepreneurship Index) and WCY (World Competitiveness Yearbook). This research includes the observation of some commonly used IEIs in terms of sample size the quality (research and development technology creative output expenditure on research and development level of research whether it is firm country or employer entrepreneur level etc.) and the quantity of indices measurement method survey frequency and some other specifications. Indices are compared with each other to expose both the similarities and the differences, however there is still a big gap on the comparison of state and degree of entrepreneurship and innovation in nations. Although there are some obstacles in the measurement of IEIs they present a broader point of view to the researchers and practitioners. As a result of the diversity in measurement methods sampling sizes indicators etc. there is not a single method for evaluating these indicators which makes it difficult to make a comparison. As a result for the proper establishment of IEIs standardization of the initiatives should be considered. This research sheds a light for further scientific debates in this field of study.

The effect of environmental concern on conscious green consumption of post-millennials: the moderating role of greenwashing perceptions
(EMERALD GROUP PUBLISHING LTD, 2021) Cagri Bulut; Murat Nazli; Erhan Aydin; Adnan Ul Haque; Bulut, Cagri; Nazli, Murat; Aydin, Erhan; Haque, Adnan Ul
Purpose This study aims to demonstrate how greenwashing perceptions shape the effect of environmental concern on post-millennials purchasing behavior. Design/methodology/approach Based on 174 responses gathered through a street survey method from 5 different universities in Turkey data are analyzed using the statistical package for social sciences software (SPSS 16.0). Principal component analysis is performed to assess the differentiation in factors. Multiple regression analysis is used to examine the effects of the items on the post-millennials purchasing and recommendation behavior. Findings The main findings revealed that the environmental concern trait of post-millennials triggers their green purchasing behavior. When the concern on green products is high the awareness of perceiving that if the product is actually green or pretending to be green is high. When the post-millennials take the greenwashing perception into account their environmental concern has lower effects on their green behavior. The moderating role of greenwashing between environmental concern and green purchasing is apparent. Greenwashing perception decreases the effects of environmental concern on green behavior. Originality/value The research raises the concept of greenwashing perception that moderates the relationship between environmental concern and post-millennials purchasing behavior. This study also demonstrates that greenwashing awareness has a critical role in creating a purchasing behavior of post-millennials that have environmental concerns.
