The aim of this study was to determine the effect of the proactive personality on the political skills of the administrative staff working at the university. For this purpose, Proactive Personality Scale (Claes et.al., 2005) and Political Skill Inventory (Ferris et.al.:2005) were conducted for university administrative staff. The relationship between proactive personality traits and political skills of the staff was determined through correlation and regression analysis. As a result, it has been found that proactive personality has a significant effect in explaining both its general political skill and its sub-dimensions.
This study investigated changes in nurses’ sense of calling during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as possible reasons for these changes. A total of 440 nurses in Turkey responded to a single open-ended question about their work attitudes and experiences. Emergent Qualitative Document Analysis (QDA) was used to analyze the responses. Results demonstrated that nurses experienced both positive and negative changes to their sense of calling, sometimes simultaneously. The most frequently cited reasons for positive changes were nurses’ perceived job significance, their desire to serve humanity, and a sense of meaningful work. In contrast, terms describing their reasons for experiencing negative changes include exhaustion, underpaid, unappreciated, overwork, disengagement, risky, stress, and anxiety. This study provides the first evidence on how a sense of calling experienced by Turkish nurses has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Implications for theory, research, and practice are explored.

Bu araştırmanın temel amacı, Sözel, Sayısal ve Eşit Ağırlık puan türlerine göre üniversiteye yerleşen öğrencilerin girişimcilik özelliklerinin incelenmesi, girişimcilik eğilimlerinin belirlenmesi ve çeşitli demografik özelliklere göre incelenmesidir. Araştırma Süleyman Demirel Üniversitesinde yapılmış olup, araştırmanın çalışma grubunu üniversitenin Türk Dili ve Edebiyatı, Tarih, İnşaat Mühendisliği, Makine Mühendisliği, İşletme ve İktisat bölümlerinde okuyan toplam 380 son sınıf öğrencisi oluşturmaktadır.
