A configurational approach for analyzing cultural values and performance in Global Virtual Teams Şahin, Faruk; Taras, Vas; Çetin, Fatih; Tavoletti, Ernesto; Askun, Duysal; Florea, Liviu Although there have been decades of research on the effect of cultural values on team effectiveness outcomes, knowledge of the interdependencies of team cultural values for explaining team performance remains nascent. Using a configurational qualitative approach, this study explores how cultural values combine and collectively contribute to the effectiveness of Global Virtual Teams (GVTs). We perform a fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis on a data set of 1847 individuals nested within 396 GVTs who participated in an international business consulting project. The results demonstrate that cultural values work together to achieve high levels of team performance rather than function independently. The results also show that different cultural value configurations could be equally effective at producing the same outcome, and that the presence of gender egalitarianism and the absence of power distance are the most important for producing the outcome. We discuss implications for practice and future research.

Managerial Resourcefulness and Leadership in Small Firms During the COVID-19 Pandemic By:Sahin, F (Sahin, Faruk) [1] Şahin, Faruk This study explores the influence of managerial resourcefulness (affective, intellectual and action-oriented competencies) of the owner-manager of small firms on employee outcomes, including the perception of leadership effectiveness and satisfaction with the leader. Owner-manager of small firms (n = 49) completed a questionnaire with a managerial resourcefulness scale, and their employees (n = 193) completed a questionnaire with the scales of perception of leadership effectiveness and satisfaction with the leader. Hierarchical linear modelling analyses were used to test the study hypotheses. The results indicated that affective and intellectual competencies are significantly and positively associated with both employee perception of leadership effectiveness and satisfaction with the leader. However, action-oriented competence is significantly and positively associated with employees' perception of leadership effectiveness but is not related to satisfaction with leaders. The results of this study imply that management resourcefulness is a useful foundation to examine a variety of critical organizational and human outcomes.

Proactive personality and job performance during cross-cultural service encounters: a moderated mediation model Şahin, Faruk; Köksal, Onur; Güler, Murat; Çetin, Fatih PurposeDrawing on the person-environment fit theory, in this paper the authors aim to propose and test a moderated mediation model that examines the relationships among proactive personality and job performance, cultural intelligence and emotional intelligence.Design/methodology/approachThe authors collected the multisource data from a total of 120 hotel service employees and the employees' immediate supervisors. The authors used the PROCESS, an SPSS macro, to conduct multiple regression analyses to test this moderated mediation model.FindingsThe results suggest that cultural intelligence mediates the relationship between proactive personality and job performance during cross-cultural service encounters. Furthermore, the indirect effect of proactive personality on job performance during cross-cultural service encounters via cultural intelligence is stronger for service employees who are high in emotional intelligence.Practical implicationsThis study has several implications for hospitality management in terms of developing effective strategies to foster cultural and emotional intelligence of service employees and improve the employees' performance.Originality/valueConsidering the limited number of studies showing why, how and in which situations personality can enhance performance, this study contributes to the literature by revealing the effect of proactive personality on the performance of service employees through important constructs such as cultural intelligence and emotional intelligence.

When does intellectual capital enhance innovation capability? A three-way interaction test Karadağ, Hande; Şahin, Faruk; Bulut, Çağrı PurposeIn the current study based on the resource-based view (RBV), a three-way interaction model tests the relationships among human and social capital resources, innovation orientation (IO) and innovation capability in the context of new ventures.Design/methodology/approachHierarchical linear regression modeling presents the linear relations at two decision layers of start-ups, their founders and managers. Data is collected and analyzed from 233 new ventures in Turkey.FindingsFindings of the two and three-way interaction analyses indicate a positive relationship between human capital and innovation capability when social capital and IO are high; however, the relation turns off when low.Research limitations/implicationsThe study extends the previous works on the proposed link between intellectual capital (IC) resources and innovation, by confirming the moderating role of social capital and IO on the positive association between human capital resources and innovation capability.Practical implicationsThe results show that for start-up companies, the co-existence of strong social capital and the strategic orientation towards innovation is required for the effective utilization of human capital for generating innovation capability within the organization. Thus, this study highlights the importance of networks, alliances and social relationships, together with the unification of strategic thinking, organizational learning and a culture of innovation for attaining innovation goals, which are crucial for the survival and success of these units.Originality/valueThis study presents the first model in the literature which examines the moderating effects of IO and social capital on the human capital-innovation capability relationship.
