    (Sage Publications, 2006-03) Özçelik, Gaye; Ferman, Ali Murat
    This article examines the competency approach to human resources management (HRM) in organizations through a review of literature and theories on the competency perspective. Building on previous theory and some empirical evidence, a new competency framework is developed. The main purpose of the article is to examine the effectiveness of the competency approach as a human resources strategy for promoting expected roles, skills, and behaviors in organizations. The article also examines potential challenges to implementing a competency approach to HRM in a special cultural context. This is provided by a case study in a multinational, fast-moving, consumer goods company in Turkey. One of the findings of the study is that there are challenges to implementing the competency approach due to the cultural differences between home and host countries. If properly designed, however, the competency approach can enhance selection, development, promotion, and reward processes to meet both individual and organizational needs.

    An evaluation model based on sustainable development for the Istanbul shopping center market
    (Altınbaş Üniversitesi, 2019-12-31) İlhan, Dursun Onur; Ferman, Ali Murat
    Istanbul shopping center market is currently facing considerable internal and external socioeconomic challenges. After the recent shopping center investment rush, problems (not only in the commercial sphere, but also in social and environmental spheres) have become more visible. In this study, an evaluative multi factor model for the Istanbul market that is based on the principles of “sustainable development” has been put forward. After the identification of the three major pillars (i.e. Commercial, Social and Environmental Pillars), what they mean for the shopping center business and their industry-related sub-factors (three for each pillar, nine in total) through literature review, valuable primary data has been gathered from two sources. First source is the face-to-face surveys based on the analytical hierarchy process model (AHP) conducted with the top decision-makers of twenty-one out of twenty-five members of the Council of Shopping Centers – Turkey (AYD) which have at least one self-developed Istanbul shopping center. The pre-determined pillars and subfactors have been offered to AYD participants for pair-wise comparison and they strongly prioritized the Commercial Pillar (with 58.1%) above Social and Environmental Pillars. In the light of this outcome, a second primary research layer in the form of an expert panel to re-think the commercial stance of AYD participants is conducted. Accordingly, structured face-to-face interviews that contained two open-ended questions are realized with three sustainability experts. Their insights are in line with the findings of the literature review. This has led to assigning ethical protection to the Social and Environmental Pillars of the model against the risks created by the commercial practices.
