Purpose The leadership shift from conventional to digital comes from the compulsory digitalization of the workplace because the technological progress provides the opportunity of doing work remotely, and this is a great advantage of reducing costs that stem from the offline workplace. Thus, this research aims at demonstrating the relationship between digitalization of leadership and innovative work behavior. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected from 320 Turkish department managers in the Textile Industry through digital leadership and innovate work behavior scales. The hypotheses were tested using path analysis. The analyses were conducted by using SPSS and AMOS package programs. Findings The results show that the employees’ perceptions of digital leadership have a positive and significant effect on all dimensions of an employee innovative work behavior. Also, the leaders with high digital skills were perceived positively by the employees and the employees tend to adapt innovative behaviors when they have the digitally skilled leaders. Originality/value This study contributes to leadership research by providing evidence for the role of leadership shift in innovative work behavior. Extending the verification of leadership shift in innovative work behavior that can be adopted in Turkey has also been considered.

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.

Working individuals spend most of their lives at work. Thus, events experienced in the workplace can directly influence the individuals' lives outside the workplace. When individuals feel happy in the workplace, this will increase the productivity of the employees for the organization and also improve their well-being and life satisfaction levels during the times spent outside the workplace. Most of today's organizations are aware of having employees with high workplace happiness will have more sustainable productivity. However, it is important not only to examine the factors on how to increase the workplace happiness of the individuals but also to apply them on a regular basis. While the concept of workplace happiness is frequently examined in the field of positive psychology discipline, it also continues to be investigated in the field of management and organizational behavior. Based on general happiness, the term "workplace happiness" has been strengthened theoretically with the studies of the pioneer of positive psychology Martin Seligman who put forward the principles of happiness. The general happiness level of individuals has reflections on their work life. Therefore, the individual will be able to achieve the balance between work and life more easily with his/her positive emotions. For this reason, organizations strive on how to increase workplace happiness in order to have highly motivated employees, taking into account the amount of time they spend in the workplace. As a result of this effort, it is possible to obtain positive work outcomes both for individual and organizational level. In this study, it is aimed to reveal the importance of the term workplace happiness for both the employees and organizations by reviewing the term with its antecedents and consequences factors.

In this study, the relationship between the terms calling and happiness and work meaning has been examined. Besides, the role of work meaning has been discussed in this relationship. The study is carried out in two different times with two different samples. The first sample group consists of 205 nurses who work at the private hospitals in Antalya. The second sample group consists of 293 nurses who work at the public health institutions in Isparta. With the first sample group, the adaptation of the Brief Calling Scale which was developed by Dik et al. (2012) into Turkish culture has been done and it is found valid and reliable. In the second study conducted by the second sample group, the Turkish adaptation of the Brief Calling Scale, Happiness scale developed by Abdel-Khalek (2006) and Work and Meaning Inventory developed by Steger et al. have been used. The data gathered using the SPSS and AMOS

Bu çalışmanın amacı, haklarında denetimli serbestlik tedbiri uygulanan bireylerin iş bulma kaygılarının kendilerini sıkışmış hissetmeleri üzerine etkisini araştırmaktır. Araştırmanın katılımcılarını Isparta Denetimli Serbestlik Müdürlüğü’nün takip ettiği 234 kişi oluşturmaktadır. Veriler, iş bulma kaygısı ve sıkışmışlık hissi ölçekleriyle yüz yüze görüşülerek toplanmıştır. Yapılan istatistik analizleri neticesinde, iş bulma kaygısının sıkışmışlık hissi üzerine etkisinin istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bununla birlikte, ölçeklerin boyutları ile yapılan analiz sonuçlarına göre, iş bulma kaygısının çevresel ve sosyal baskı boyutunun içsel ve dışsal faktörlere bağlı sıkışmışlık hissi üzerine etkisinin pozitif ve istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olduğu, diğer boyutlar arasında anlamlı ilişki ve etkilerin bulunmadığı anlaşılmıştır. Bu sonuçlara göre, denetimli serbestlik tedbiri uygulanan bireylerin iş bulma kaygısı taşıdıkları, bu kaygının daha çok çevresel ve sosyal baskıdan kaynaklandığı; bu kaygının ise bireylerin sıkışmışlık hissini artıran bir etkisinin olduğu belirlenmiştir.
