Keywords: corporate social responsibility, corporate human rights, firm performance Paper type: Research In this study, corporate human rights (CHR) performance is evaluated within the framework of corporate social responsibility (CSR). The emergence and development of corporate human rights (CHR) and the benchmarks prepared on the basis of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights established within the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) is evaluated. The CHR performances of multinational enterprises operating in the oil, gas and mineral mining (extractives) sector all over the world in 2019 examined. 54 multinational extractive corporations included in the analysis. The relationship between the financial performances and CHR scores is examined by correlation analysis, and significant relationships found between CHR and total revenue, total assets, EBITDA, price to book and net profit margin.

This study determined undergraduate and graduate education efficiency scores using the 2020 data from 20 state research universities in Turkey. The study used input-oriented data envelopment analysis to compare undergraduate and graduate education efficiencies. In the study, the efficiency of the research universities in the prioritized field(s) was compared with the efficiency in the field(s) in which they operate intensively. It also includes suggestions on increasing their effectiveness in the prioritized field(s). In addition, the Tobit regression model, which is a regression model for limited dependent variables, was used to determine the determinants of efficiency scores. The findings show the undergraduate and graduate education performances of research universities comparatively. In addition, based on the results obtained from the Tobit regression model, suggestions were made to increase graduate performance. Five factors (the number of graduate students per faculty member, the number of undergraduate students per academic staff, the number of graduates/undergraduates in the number of students and graduations, and the number of faculty members per program) have a significant effect on graduate performance. Therefore, it is important in terms of strategic management that research universities should be restructured by considering these factors or that they should be considered in plans. The study offers an alternative perspective to performance management in both education and management.
