Context–Sustainability is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs (Brundtland Report, 1987). Sustainability is a worldwide hot topic since its origins in the Stockholm Summit (1972) and continued discussion in the Rio Summit (1992), despite the OECD (2004) reporting that minimal progress has been made in improving applications supporting the concept of sustainable growth and the challenges identified through the agenda have not been satisfactorily addressed. Similarly, the UN’s Millennium Development Goals that were announced in 2000 were projected to continue to 2015, but then delayed to 2030 with upgraded Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s). According to the International Institute for Sustainable Development (2019), there are 145 global corporations pursuing the 17 SDGs, budgeting 5–7 trillion USD annually. According to authorities and experts researching sustainability within its main social, environmental, and governance dimensions, it is difficult to define indicators and models to measure and report sustainability through business, particularly the financial dimension. Contemporary companies are always asking for more, although the world’s natural resources already diminished (OECD, 2004).Purpose–This study endeavors to identify appropriate sustainable financial performance indicators, limited and relative financial performance measurement, and related assurance areas for establishing long-term financial performance. These characteristics engender the self-efficacy of recovering more of the financial resources used by businesses to create value for all stakeholders and to assure the prevention of financial distress that could threaten financial performance.Methodology/Approach/Design–The research first examines the concepts related to financial sustainability, such as sustainability, financial performance, economic capital, and financial distress. A unique concept of financial sustainability is then presented in congruence with both the literature and the previously stated purpose of the research. The main approaches to financial sustainability are examined, along with financial performance and financial distress. Previous studies that propose or apply indicators appropriate to the measurement of financial sustainability are examined.In the literature, business practices within the social and environmental dimensions of sustainability have been evaluated in relation to equity of profitability, which is identical to financial performance. Financial sustainability is also a performance indicator for companies. In this context, financial sustainability is considered to be identical to financial performance, which is also used as a financial management tool in evaluating companies’ strategic competitive position, optimal value measurements for stakeholders, new sources of income and cash flow, effective risk management, and enhanced stakeholder relations.Profitability, cash generation, and enterprise value are the indicators used to measure the limited and relative financial performance of the five companies selected with high market value (41.9%) in the Istanbul Stock Exchange (BIST) in January 2019 that have been continuously listed in the BIST Sustainability Index since its establishment.The financial data of the five companies selected for the research for the period 2008– 2017 were obtained from the official Public Disclosure Platform, and the calculations are performed using the previously defined financial performance indicators; namely, profitability (net profit/paid-in capital), cash generation (cash generated in the cash flow statement), and company value (share price x number of shares). The change in these values beginning in 2008 is presented in a table. The highest and lowest values in this table are shown for all three indicators in a separate table and graph.Findings–The financial sustainability of the companies selected for the research is calculated to assess the limited and relative standing of the companies and financial data in 2008–2017 by the weighted average of all three indicators on a chart using MS Excel. Accordingly, based on the time series beginning in 2008 as 1, which is considered the baseline, the upper limits of the change in the years up to 2017 were associated with financial performance, revealing a trend following a pattern of 1–2, 1–2, 7–1, 3–2, 3–3, 0–3, 3–3, 5–6, 1–7, 5. The lower limits associated with financial distress were observed to be greater than 1 or identified the lowest 1.The findings reveal all of the upper limits representing financial performance to be effective in the formation of financial sustainability assurance as an indicator of cash generation. The limited and relative financial sustainability assurance of the companies selected for the research were rated, indicating KCHOL, ranking advanced, at 79.45 points; SAHOL, at 67.75 points, and THYAO, at 61.47 points, both ranking strong; and ISCTR, at 40.57 points, and TCELL, at 34.20 points, both ranking as limited for financial sustainability assurance and evaluation. Furthermore, stock prices of the companies are assessed in the years 2017–2021. Accordingly, THYAO stock prices distinctly differ from all other companies. Similar to a previous study of THYAO, the results of indicators vary widely, indicating the potential validity of the initial study’s assertion of possible financial difficulties.&nbsp;

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.
