Background&nbsp;One of the first steps in moving a problem of what behavior should be within the scope of green organizational behavior should be examine the question the meaning of what the individuals of that society referred to the concept of green behavior within the organization by a unique measurement tool. The main problematic in here is what employee behavior within the organization can be considered as green behavior. It is not easy to answer this question; because the meaning of green organizational behaviors is not the same for each society. Many literature of social sciences, examine green organizational behavior, lacks a scale that can be used to understand the perception of green organizational behavior.PurposeIn this study, it is aimed to develop a valid and reliable measurement tool to measure employees’ green organizational behavior.&nbsp;MethodThis research has the feature of qualitative (qualitative) research by using induction method as it seeks to develop an original scale. In addition, a pilot practice after identifying the propositions, adds quantitative research to the research. Schwab’s (1980) three-stage scale development process was followed in the process of developing a green organizational behavior scale. These stages are item development, scale development, scale evaluation. Item development was formed as a result of the content analysis of the data obtained as a result of the semi-structured interview method with 50 managers and 100 employees in different enterprises of Konya Independent Industrialists’ and Businessmen’s Association (MUSIAD). Items were suggested were evaluated with the views of 7 academicians. The Lawshe method was used to determine the validity ratios of the propositions. The surveys were carried out was applied to participation of 500 employees from member enterprises in Konya MUSIAD.FindingsA model consisting of 27 items and 5 factors has emerged. Factors forming the scale are labeled as environmental sensitivity, environmental participation, economic sensitivity, green purchasing, technological sensitivity. The 5-factor structure was confirmed by confirmatory factor analysis and the scale was found to be acceptable levels of compliance. For the reliability of the scale, cronbach alpha internal consistency coefficient was determined as respectively .813, .766, .710, .724 and for the whole scale .701.Conclusions&nbsp;As a result, it was seen that the scale model (green organizational behavior scale) was a theoretical and statistically suitable, valid and reliable measurement tool. It is thought that the green organizational behavior scale obtained within the scope of the research clarifies which behaviors in Turkish business organizations should be included in the scope of green organizational behavior.

Background Although there are many terms (e.g., expatriates, overseas executives, international mobile managers, etc.) used for the multinational enterprise (MNE) manager resources in the International Business, International Human Resource Management and Global Mobility literatures, there are only few terms in Turkish literature. Also, Turkish literature lacks a certain terminology unity on the MNE manager resources.PurposeThe purpose of this study is to present a conceptual framework providing terminology unity for the MNE manager resources. This study contributes to Turkish literature by analyzing the innovations and the developments in the foreign literature regarding the MNE manager resources. This study also attempts to put forward some expert views from the field.MethodIn this study, firstly, the literature on the MNE manager resources was examined via document analysis method. Secondly, the relation between the manager resources and the literature was established through a qualitative research, using the case study method in Turkish MNEs. Lastly, expert views were collected and analyzed comprehensively.FindingsThis study proposes seven different manager resources for Turkish MNEs, defines them, and draws a conceptual framework for them.Conclusions&nbsp;It is believed that this study will help Turkish human resource managers, professionals, academics, researchers and postgraduates to better recognize and evaluate the field.

Author Guidelines

Article submissions should be submitted to <a href="https://dergipark.org.tr/en/pub/imj" target="_blank">https://dergipark.org.tr/en/pub/imj</a>

Although references to review articles can be an efficient way to guide readers to a body of literature, review articles do not always reflect original work accurately. Readers should therefore be provided with direct references to original research sources whenever possible. On the other hand, extensive lists of references to original work on a topic can use excessive space on the printed page. Small numbers of references to key original papers often serve as well as more exhaustive lists, particularly since references can now be added to the electronic version of published papers, and since electronic literature searching allows readers to retrieve published literature efficiently. Papers accepted but not yet included in the issue are published online in the Early View section and they should be cited as “advance online publication”. Citing a “personal communication” should be avoided unless it provides essential information not available from a public source, in which case the name of the person and date of communication should be cited in parentheses in the text. For scientific articles, written permission and confirmation of accuracy from the source of a personal communication must be obtained.Reference Style and FormatIstanbul Management Journal complies with APA (American Psychological Association) style 6th Edition for referencing and quoting.
