    Examining the Impact of Tungsten Production on China's Economic Growth: Evidence for the Resource Curse Hypothesis
    (Mdpi, 2024) Saglam, M. Selman; Yilanci, Veli; Tunc, Ahmet; Saritas, Merve Mert
    This study investigates the potential impact of China's dominant position in global tungsten production on its national economic growth, examining the applicability of the resource curse hypothesis. While prior research has extensively explored the resource curse in relation to oil and other resources, the role of tungsten remains largely unexplored. Utilizing annual data from 1994 to 2022, this study employs an autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) bounds testing approach to analyze the long-run relationship between per capita income from tungsten production and per capita GDP. The results reveal a significant negative relationship, suggesting that the increased income from tungsten production may be associated with a decline in overall economic output, supporting the resource curse hypothesis. The study contributes to the growing body of the literature on the resource curse by investigating the unique case of tungsten and highlighting the importance of sustainable resource management, diversification, and effective governance in maximizing economic benefits while mitigating potential downsides.

    Impact of social capital and perceived empowerment on burnout in health employees: A study in the shadow of the COVID-19
    (Ios Press, 2024) Yagar, Fedayi; Gercek, Emine; Yagar, Sema Dokme; Tunc, Ahmet
    BACKGROUND: Social capital is an important resource that enables employees to build trust-based relationships with other individuals and groups in the workplace. Although the evidence reveals the effect of employee empowerment on burnout, the moderator role of social capital in this relationship is still unexplored. However, considering the health employees who have mental health problems and increased dissatisfaction with the COVID-19 epidemic, the importance of determining the antecedent factors that may affect burnout plays an even more critical role. OBJECTIVE: The effect of the epidemic process on the burnout level of health employees was examined. In addition, the effect of employee empowerment on burnout was examined and the moderate role of social capital was evaluated. METHODS: A total of 492 health employee completed the measures of social capital, perceived empowerment, and burnout. Structural equation modelling was used to evaluate the moderate variable. Dawson slope were used to visualize the results. RESULTS: The burnout levels of health employees were low (2.00 +/- 1.34). Social capital had a moderating effect on the negative effect of employee empowerment on burnout (beta = 0.191). Apart from that, employee empowerment (beta = -0.192) and social capital (beta = -0.508) were negatively associated with burnout level (p < 0.05). CONLUSION: These results are expected to provide useful recommendations to management in the health sector to reduce burnout among health employees by focusing on social capital and employee empowerment.

    The moderating role of paternalistic leadership in the relationship between job satisfaction and job stress among health workers in Gaziantep, Turkey
    (Ios Press, 2024) Tunc, Ahmet; Yagar, Sema Dokme; Gercek, Emine; Yagar, Fedayi
    BACKGROUND: Adopting an effective leadership style is of critical importance in increasing healthcare efficiency and therefore determining patient satisfaction. For example, although there are many new and effective leadership types today, the paternalistic leadership approach can still play an effective role in developing countries. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to examine the moderating role of paternalistic leadership in the relationship between job satisfaction and job stress. METHODS: A total of 466 healthcare workers completed measures of perceived paternalistic leadership, job stress, and job satisfaction. The research was conducted in the center of Gaziantep, one of the largest cities in Turkey. Regression analysis was used to evaluate the moderate variable. Dawson slope were used to visualize the results. RESULTS: A negative relationship was found between job satisfaction and job stress. Additionally, it has been determined that the perception of paternalistic leadership has a moderating role. It has been observed that as the perception of paternalistic leadership increases, the negative relationship between job satisfaction and job stress decreases. CONCLUSION: It has been concluded that the paternalistic leadership approach can play a critical role in increasing the productivity of healthcare workers and reducing the negative effect of stress on satisfaction. It has been suggested that policies be developed to develop appropriate strategies for creating work environments that will increase employees' perceptions of paternalistic leadership.
