PurposeThis study aims to understand essential work and occupational consequences of employees’ illegitimate task (ILT) experiences (unreasonable and unnecessary task demands) under the influence of vertical collectivist (VC) values.Design/methodology/approachData were collected via a survey from 503 teachers in the Turkish public education sector. The hypotheses were tested using structural equation modeling.FindingsFindings of this study reveal that unnecessary tasks decrease employees’ professional identification and perceived occupational prestige, whereas unreasonable tasks weaken their workplace well-being. Results also show that employees with higher VC orientation feel these adverse effects to a lesser extent.Research limitations/implicationsThis study demonstrates that individual-level cultural values play a significant role in understanding task-related dynamics and consequences at the workplace. It brings new theoretical insights to job design and work stress literature regarding what similar factors can mitigate task pressures on employees.Practical implicationsA key practical insight from the findings is that human resources management experts should create a positive task environment where ILT demands are not welcome by analyzing jobs and skill requirements in detail, communicating task decisions regularly with employees and providing them with the necessary work support.Social implicationsUnderstanding the impact of ILT can greatly help to assess the quality of the education system and the value of teaching occupation in society.Originality/valueILT have been mainly discussed without considering the effect of different cultural orientations. This is the first study empirically showing the diverse effects of two ILT dimensions on essential occupational outcomes in connection to individual-level cultural influences.
Nowadays, the financial services sector cluster is the sector in which global players are most connected to each other globally. In order to create a highly competitive sector, a solid infrastructure should be completed and a stable institutionalized financial system should be ensured. The aim is to evaluate the relations between the factors affecting the international competitiveness of the finance sector in Istanbul, based on M. Porter's Diamond Model, with a holistic approach. As the results of SEM Analysis on Istanbul, it has been determined that government practices has got indirect impacts on companies’ strategy and competition as a leading factor and also on transportation, although government applications have direct positive effect on legal regulatory infrastructure; market demand conditions, information-technology-based infrastructure, education and HR, workplace-environment, supportive players, and companies' strategic competition policies. These results highlight the importance of institutionalization of financial sectors and supportive laws. JEL Codes: G15, G20
