ÖzTrendlerdeki değişimle "she-conomy" (kadın ekonomisi) kavramı, dünyada giderek daha popüler hale gelse dahi tepe yönetim pozisyonlarında yer alan kadın çalışan sayısının azlığı hala dikkat çekmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı kadınların kariyerlerinde yükselirken karşılaştıkları cam tavan engelleri ile kültür boyutlarından biri olan güç mesafesi arasındaki ilişkiyi ortaya koymaktır. Ayrıca çalışma kapsamında, cinsiyete göre çalışanların cam tavan engellerine yönelik algıları ile güç mesafesi algıları arasında farklılık olup olmadığı da belirlenecektir. Çalışmanın evreni olarak Arap yarımadasında yer alan iki üniversite seçilmiştir. Bu üniversitelerin seçilme nedeni; süregelen savaş durumu, bölgenin politik yapısı ve toplumsal koşullar sebebi ile bu bölgede kadınların iş dünyası ve sosyal yaşamda çok daha fazla engelle mücadele etmesidir. Araştırmada veri toplama yöntemi olarak anket kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonuçlarına bakıldığında algılanan cam tavan engelleri ve güç mesafesi arasında pozitif yönlü ve güçlü bir ilişki olduğu görülmektedir. Cam tavan engelleri ve güç mesafesine yönelik algıda ise cinsiyete dayalı bir farklılık olmadığı sonucu ortaya çıkmıştır.Anahtar Kelimeler: Cam tavan sendromu, güç mesafesi, akademisyenler AbstractAlthough labor force participation rate of women increases day by day, the number of female employees in senior management positions is still very limited. In 2017, 34% of global corporations do not have women in top management (Women in Business: New Perspectives on Risk and Reward Report, 2017). While the proportion of women on the board of directors is limited to 12%, the proportion of women board chairmen is only 4% (Deloitte, 2015). The difficulties women face in promoting to senior management positions have attracted researchers' attention. In 1986, Hymovitz and Schellhard first used the glass-ceiling metaphor to describe the constraints that prevent females to promote top management positions in corporations, state institutions, educational institutions or nonprofit organizations (Hymowitz and Schellhardt, 1986). The factors that lead to the formation of glass ceiling in enterprises can be individual (women's roles as wife and/or mother, time management problems), organizational (organizational culture, company policies and the difficulties women experience in participating in informal communication networks) (Mizrahi ve Aracı, 2010) and social (gender discrimination in society and gender stereotypes). The other concept that is examined in this study is power distance. The concept of power distance is one of the cultural dimensions described by Geert Hofstede and it is defined as "the extent to which the less powerful members of institutions and organisations within a country expect and accept that power is distributed unequally. " (Hofstede, 2003). In other words, power distance shows "the level of acceptance or rejection of differences and inequalities by members in the distribution of power in the social system" (Turan, Durceylan and Şişman, 2005). The purpose of this study ...

JEL Classification M16, F23, M14 ABSTRACTGlobally competing companies must see the project management as a sustainable competitive advantage and a tool for strategic competence in order to be successful, and all aspects of the project management must be designed accordingly. While carrying main characteristics of the local projects, unlike the classic project management, project managers that work with global teams are faced with more diverse and complex challenges: The cultural diversity of the project team, project stakeholders who live in different time zones, unclear requirements caused by different native languages, and host country-specific political, economic and legal environment, etc. In this study, by conducting an extensive literature review, the environmental factors in the global projects and the impact of organizational structure on the success of the project is synthesized, the controversial and lacking parts in the literature are indicated. On this basis, the global project management methodologies in academic literature that are developed to be compatible with the dynamics of the global projects are examined; the weak and strong aspects are emphasized and based on this a model is developed. With this study it is aimed to introduce a broad theoretical framework for the new academic researches and applications in the field of global project management. GLOBAL PROJE YÖNETİMİNDE KARŞILAŞILAN GÜÇLÜKLER VE GELİŞTİRİLEN ÇÖZÜMLER ÜZERİNE TEORİK BAKIŞ Anahtar KelimelerGlobal proje yönetim, global projeler, global proje yönetim metodolojileri, uluslararası projeler, sanal takım. JEL Sınıflandırması M16, F23, M14 ÖZETGlobal alanda rekabet eden şirketlerin başarılı olabilmeleri için proje yönetimini sürdürülebilir rekabet üstünlüğü ve stratejik bir yetkinlik aracı olarak görmeleri gerekir. Yerel projelerin temel karakterlerini taşımakla birlikte, klasik proje yönetiminden farklı olarak, global takımlarla çalışan proje yöneticileri daha farklı ve kompleks sorunlarla yüz yüze kalmaktadır: Proje ekibinin kültürel çeşitliliği, farklı zaman dilimlerinde yaşayan proje paydaşları, aynı dili konuşmamanın getirdiği net olmayan gereksinimler, karşılıklı görüşme imkânı olmaması ve ev sahibi ülkeye özgü politik, ekonomik ve hukuki çevre vb. Bu çalışmada geniş bir literatür taraması yapılarak akademik araştırmalar üzerinden; global projelerdeki söz konusu çevre faktörleri ve organizasyonel yapının projenin başarısına olan etkisine ilişkin sentez yapılmakta, literatürde tartışmalı olan ve eksik kalan noktalar belirtilmektedir. Bu temele binaen global projelerin söz konusu dinamiklerine uyumlu olacak şekilde geliştirilen akademik yazındaki global proje yönetim metodolojileri incelenmekte; zayıf ve güçlü yönleri vurgulanarak bir model ile desteklenmektedir. Bu çalışma ile global proje yönetimi alanında yapılacak yeni akademik araştırmalar ve uygulamalar için geniş bir teorik çerçeve sunulması ...
The purpose of this paper is to integrate the results obtained from various studies on the diversity climate.The academic development of the concept of diversity climate in work life has been analyzed in a comprehensive way. Forty-one empirical studies published between 1975 and 2018 were retrieved from the ISI Web of Knowledge database and included in this theory-driven review. The main research questions of the current study are the following: "What do we know about the diversity climate in organizations? What theories is diversity climate based on? What is the focal point of the diversity climate? What are the dimensions and outcomes of diversity climate?". The result suggests that the holistic picture about the diversity climate theories, variables, research method, unit of analysis and results of the articles reviewed.This research helps to identify diversity climate which is important for the graduate students, researchers and scholars who are interested or working in the field of diversity and diversity climate..
Nexus maturity model, which is created as a structured gradual guideline for the companies wishing to adopt Nexus framework, is a new model, so the main purpose of this paper is to assess the model. Moreover, to explore pros and cons of the model to enlighten the researchers and implementers in the industry is aimed. Two case studies were conducted to collect data and to test three hypotheses. The second case study was executed 4 months later than the first case study which was completed with the same Nexus team members at the same company. During the case studies, structured interview technique was used via face-to-face meetings. Firstly, the results of the case studies show that this model can be applied easily by using the metrics to measure the success percentages of Nexus practices. Secondly, the practices with the low achievement percentage can be determined, the improvement strategies can be defined by means of the goals, objectives, practices of the model and investigation of the reasons as well. Lastly, with application of the improvement strategies, Nexus adoption success can be improved for higher levels by tracking Nexus maturity model elements. This paper presents the first application of Nexus maturity model in the industry, and also the first study to assess the model with its pros and cons in the literature.
