Therapists and technology: A qualitative study on AI′s role in counseling
(Wiley, 2026) Nazir, Thseen; Eğitim Bilimleri Fakültesi, Rehberlik ve Psikolojik Danışmanlık Bölümü
Background: Integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into mental health counseling revolutionizes therapeutic practices, with toolslike ChatGPT and Woebot offering scalable and accessible support. While these advancements hold promise, the relational natureof counseling, rooted in empathy and cultural sensitivity, raises questions about the role of AI in maintaining the essence ofhuman connection.Purpose: This qualitative study explores therapists' attitudes and beliefs about integrating AI in counseling, examining factors thatfacilitate or hinder acceptance. As AI tools increasingly enter therapeutic settings, understanding therapists' perspectives on theirpotential, limitations, and ethical implications is crucial for responsible integration.Methodology: Semistructured interviews were conducted with 20 therapists from diverse professional backgrounds and varyinglevels of AI exposure. Data were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis following Braun and Clarke's [1] framework, withfindings interpreted through sociotechnical systems theory (STS) and an extended technology acceptance model (TAM).Findings: The analysis revealed four major themes (1) AI as a complementary tool; (2) ethical concerns regarding data privacy,bias, and transparency; (3) cultural sensitivity challenges; and (4) limitations in replicating therapeutic dynamics. These findingsinformed a conceptual framework highlighting the conditional nature of AI acceptance.Conclusions: The findings underscore the need for ethical, culturally sensitive AI systems to complement human therapists ratherthan replace them. AI acceptance among therapists depends on addressing trust deficits, incorporating diverse culturalperspectives in AI development, and preserving the relational core of therapeutic practice. This study offers theoretical andpractical insights for researchers, developers, and practitioners seeking to integrate AI responsibly into mental health services.
Corporate digital responsibility and environmental outcomes in services: Mediating effects of ESG performance and green reputation, and the moderating influence of electronic word of mouth
(John Wiley & Sons, 2025) Keskin, Halit; Tatoğlu, Ekrem; Akgün, Ali E.; Esen, Emel; Yönetim Bilimleri Fakültesi, İşletme Bölümü
This study examines how corporate digital responsibility (CDR) influences environmental outcomes in the service sector, focusing on the roles of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance and green reputation as mediating factors. It also tests whether electronic word of mouth (e-WOM) moderates the relationship between ESG performance and environmental outcomes. Data were collected from 233 employees across 65 service firms and analyzed using structural equation modeling and bootstrapping techniques. The findings show that CDR contributes to environmental performance both directly and indirectly through enhanced ESG practices. Green reputation further reinforces the connection between CDR and ESG performance, while e-WOM strengthens the effect of ESG performance on environmental outcomes. Together, these mechanisms illustrate how responsible digital practices, when supported by organizational credibility and employee engagement, can improve sustainability performance. The study offers an integrated framework linking CDR with environmental outcomes and provides practical insights for managers seeking to align digital initiatives with sustainability goals.
Airline joint ventures in emerging markets: The case of Saudia under vision 2030
(Elsevier, 2026) Bora, Ayşe; Tatoğlu, Ekrem; Keski̇n, Halit; Esen, Emel; Yönetim Bilimleri Fakültesi, İşletme Bölümü
The liberalization of global air transport has encouraged airlines to adopt joint ventures (JVs) as a means of expanding networks, reducing risk, and strengthening competitiveness. While literature provides rich insights into JVs in mature markets, their feasibility in emerging markets remains underexplored. This study addresses this gap by examining the prospects for Saudia, the national carrier of Saudi Arabia, to pursue JVs in support of the country's Vision 2030 strategy. Drawing on transaction cost economics, the resource-based view, and network theory, the study employs a qualitative case design based on elite interviews with senior industry executives, policy advisors, and academic experts. The findings identify both opportunities and constraints, highlighting issues of strategic fit, regulatory reform, operational capacity, partnership design, cultural alignment, risk management, and market readiness. The analysis shows that while JVs could provide Saudia with a viable pathway to accelerate international integration and enhance competitiveness, success will depend on regulatory clarity, organizational modernization, and credibility with global partners. The study advances research on airline alliances in emerging markets and offers practical guidance for managers and policymakers engaged in shaping the future of aviation in Saudi Arabia.
Linking green supply chain management and blockchain technology to green marketing and environmental performance: The mediating role of green technology innovation
(Emerald Publishing, 2025) Keskin, Halit; Tatoğlu, Ekrem; Akgün, Ali E.; Esen, Emel; Yönetim Bilimleri Fakültesi, İşletme Bölümü
Purpose – Drawing on the dynamic capabilities view and the practice-based view, this study develops a conceptual model to empirically test the interrelationships between green supply chain management (GSCM), blockchain technology (BCT), and their impact on green marketing and environmental performance. Special attention is given to the mediating role of green technology innovation (GTI) in these relationships. Design/methodology/approach – Data were collected from 281 respondents, comprising managers and executives from diverse functional areas, across 93 firms in T€urkiye, a key emerging market. The mediating effects of GTI were tested using Hayes’ PROCESS macro (Model 4), providing robust insights into the dynamics of GSCM and BCT in driving sustainability. Findings – The results confirm that BCT positively influences GSCM, reinforcing the role of digital technologies in enhancing sustainability. The study further reveals that GTI significantly mediates the relationship between GSCM and environmental performance, suggesting that firms can enhance their environmental outcomes by adopting innovative, eco-friendly technologies. Additionally, the mediating role of GTI is evident in the relationship between BCT and both environmental and green marketing performance, highlighting the importance of technological integration in sustainability efforts. Research limitations/implications – While the study provides valuable insights, its focus on firms in T€urkiye may limit the generalizability of the findings to other regions. Future research could explore these relationships in other emerging economies and examine additional mediating or moderating variables,such as organizational culture orregulatory pressures, to provide a more detailed understanding of the dynamics between BCT, GSCM, and firm performance. Practical implications – The findings provide actionable insights for managers, particularly in emerging markets. By adopting BCT, firms can improve supply chain transparency and efficiency, while enhancing both environmental sustainability and marketing performance. Integrating GTI into GSCM practices helps firms meet regulatory demands and gain a competitive advantage in eco-conscious markets. Originality/value – This paper contributesto the limited literature on the intersection of BCT, GSCM, and firm performance, particularly within the underexplored context of Tu€rkiye. It provides a unique perspective on how emerging technologies and green innovations can be harnessed to achieve both environmental and marketing outcomes.
Ethical leadership and corporate sustainability: Implications for workforce strategy- a systematic literature review
(Elsevier, 2026) Tabaghdehi, S. Asieh Hosseini; Ayaz, Özlem; Tatoğlu, Ekrem; Yönetim Bilimleri Fakültesi, İşletme Bölümü
Pursuing ecological and social sustainability within organizations is a complex initiative that necessitates collective action at the workplace and leadership levels. However, the role of individual leadership characteristics and ethical decision-making in driving corporate sustainability (CS) initiatives remains underexplored in the context of the future of work. Ethical leadership can promote a sustainability-oriented organizational culture, fostering employee engagement and innovation that enhances social value both within the organization and in broader society. This study aims to deepen the understanding of how leadership ethics influence future of work practices in advancing CS by exploring the values, motivations, and strategic orientations of organizations undertaking CS initiatives. Additionally, it examines the impact of transparency and accountability -central tenets of business ethics- on sustainability-driven workplace policies and corporate performance. By integrating theoretical perspectives from business ethics, leadership studies, and future of work research, we conducted a systematic literature review of 95 peer-reviewed journal articles to illuminate the intersection of ethical leadership, the evolving nature of work, and CS, thereby enriching the discourse on responsible leadership and sustainable organizational development.
