“…HRM practice within these organizations has tended to reflect Turkish culture (Tüzüner, 2014), one that is characterised by unequal power distribution and uncertainty avoidance, with Turkish managers favouring top-down communication in a parent-child relationship, and the concept of 'family' within the organization continues to shape behaviour (Wasti, 1998, Tüzüner, 2014, Kabasakal & Dastmalchian, 2001. Turkey is considered to be one of the most collectivist societies in the world (Kabasakal & Dastmalchian, 2001).…”

“…Turkey is considered to be one of the most collectivist societies in the world (Kabasakal & Dastmalchian, 2001). Senior positions are held by family members who are expected to solve personal problems and provide pastoral support and this is supported by hierarchical and highly centralised organization structures (Tüzüner, 2014, Kaya, 2006.…”

“…Career portfolio building through job rotation and secondments is considered to be high risk and costly with the potential to compromise accountability, demoralize managers and disrupt operations (Fernandez-Araoz et al, 2011, Nalbantian & Guzzo, 2009), as such they may not be suited to risk averse (Kabasakal & Dastmalchian, 2001), local Turkish firms with smaller budgets and a reduced focus on HRM-led systems. This discussion leads to the following hypothesis:…”

“…Study of the cultural dimensions of these young people increases knowledge about their use and skill in the application of technology to learning (Postman 1992). Further academic study on the cultural dimensions of learners is also important because of increased diversity in face-to-face, blended and online classrooms worldwide (Kabasakal and Dastmalchian 2001).…”

The cultural dimension of Uncertainty Avoidance is analysed in this study of an introduction to blended learning for international students. Content analysis was conducted on the survey narratives collected from three cohorts of management undergraduates in the United Arab Emirates. Interpretation of certainty with blended learning was found in: student skills with technology; student acknowledgement of course organisation; and student appreciation of online feedback. Uncertainty with the introduction of blended learning was found: when membership was assigned for group work, higher quality research methods were introduced; where course structure lacked detail, increased time was required for new and different online activities. These international students, from countries with a high score on Uncertainty Avoidance, exhibited that dimension when introduced to blended learning. The implications of these findings are discussed, and strategies suggested for introducing blended learning to international students. The limitations of the study are considered, and a direction for future research is suggested. This is the first study on undergraduates in the Middle East for the effects of a cultural dimension when introducing blended learning. The findings increase the body of knowledge that relates to learning technology in the international business classroom

“…This effect could even be more pronounced in the case of individuals who work in the same department, with negative sharing of stressors like workload. In cultures presenting high in-group collectivism, like Turkey (Kabasakal & Dastmalchian, 2001), treating family and close coworkers as in-group may elevate negative communication by increasing social support. As the content in the support has not been considered in this study, the level of its operation on the findings is not clear.…”

This study aimed to test the buffering role of social support on the relationship between job stress and intention to leave through investigating different aspects of job stressors and support sources. Participants were 116 white-collar employees from various sectors in Turkey. The results indicate that supervisor support has reverse buffering effects on the relationship between "role and work overload" and "role insufficiency" with "intention to leave." Also, coworker support has a reverse buffering effect on the relationship between "role and work overload" and "intention to leave." This study is important since it demonstrates that the moderating role of social support may vary for distinct job stressors.
