The aim of this study is to develop a Communicative Rational Action Scale and analyze its validity and reliability. The scale has been prepared for all administrators and especially for firm administrators based on Max Weber’s rationalizing theory and Jürgen Habermas’ communicative action theory. The scale reveals to what extent administrators’ behaviors are communicatively rational while deciding or acting. In total, 282 participants joined this study. The sample group consisted of senior administrators of 87 firms acting in Turkey’s different Organized Industrial Zones or Free Zones. Data were analyzed by the SPSS 21 and AMOS 22 programs. Exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were applied to the obtained data. In order to test item discrimination, total item correlations were calculated and items under the value of 0.40 were removed from the scale. Exploratory factor analysis revealed 21 articles and five factors. The correlation coefficient of the 21-article scale with a similar scale is 0.979 (p < 0.001). The Cronbach’s alpha value is 0.945 and the test–retest correlation parameter is r = 0.793 (p < 0.001). In conclusion, it was determined by confirmatory factor analysis that the Communicative Rational Action Scale has a good cohesion criterion, and it is a valid and reliable assessment instrument.

The aim of this study was to determine whether emotional labor behavior has an effect on job satisfaction, and if there is an effect, to reveal whether communicative rational action has a moderator effect. This research was carried out in the banking sector. The sample group consisted of administrators of foreign capital bank managers (427) at all levels in Turkey. The collected data were analyzed with the IBM SPSS 21 program. Multiple regression analysis and SPSS PROCESS v3.5 (model1) methods were used in the analysis. According to the analysis, the three sub-dimensions of communicative rational action (practical-rational action, rational communication, and rational action) have a moderator role in the effect of emotional labor and job satisfaction. The other two sub dimensions (value–rational–action and firm family) do not have a moderator role in this effect. In the analysis made according to the total score of communicative rational action, the moderator role of communicative rational action in the effect of emotional labor and job satisfaction was determined. As a result of the research and analysis, it was determined that emotional labor has a positive effect on the phenomenon of job satisfaction.

Modern kapitalizmi içselleştiren toplumlarda aşırı servet birikimi ve zenginleşmenin görüldüğü bir gerçektir. Diğer yandan bu süreç toplumsal alanda kapanmaz uçurumlar meydana getirir. Modern kapitalizm ekonomik büyümeyi teşvik ederken insanın özne konumunda büyük yaralar açar. Zenginleşme uğruna insanın bir meta gibi görülüp araçsallaştırılması bireysel ve toplumsal açıdan psiko-patolojik sorunlar yumağını ortaya çıkarır. Bu durum sosyo-kültürel alanda baskı ve tahribata yol açar. Ekonomik ve politik sistem nüfuzunu geniş ölçüde artırır. Böyle bir ortamda Batılı birey derin bir anlam kaybına maruz kalır. Michael Sandel, bu olumsuz özellikleri kapsayan modern toplumu "piyasa toplumu" olarak tanımlar. Bu çalışmada Sandel'in piyasa toplumunu eleştirerek iktisadi adalete ulaşma çabası araştırılacaktır. Batı dünyasında büyük üne kavuşan Harvardlı profesörün özellikle iktisadi adalete dair görüşleri hakkında akademik camiamızda yapılan çalışma sayısı çok azdır. Sandel'in yaklaşımı, serbest piyasa sisteminin sahip olduğu gücü vurgulaması açısından önemlidir. Araştırmalara göre Sandel piyasa toplumunda, insan da dahil olmak üzere her değerin metalaştırıldığını ifade eder. O, ekonomi ve ahlak arasındaki derin ayrılığa dikkat çeker. Onun iktisadi adalete dair görüşlerinin aktarılması nihayetinde kendi toplumumuz açısından dikkat edilmesi gereken hususlar içerir.

Justice is one of the most discussed topics from archaic societies to the present day. Justice is a superior principle that is needed at every stage of social life. Justice is also important for the employees of companies operating in the business world. The concept of organizational justice, which expresses the fair design of individuals' business relationships, is a reflection of this process. Although much significance is attached to this phenomenon, there is no serious research on how to raise fair individuals who will internalize this in life and actually do it. This study aims to contribute to the mentioned shortcoming. Opinions of the famous Islamic philosopher Farabi were taken as a basis. The most important factor in raising the fair individual is education. In education, the role of parents and teachers are very important. Vocational and character education must be together in this process.
