“…Redlein and Zobl (2014) revealed that FM in European countries plays a very effective role in reducing costs. Sari (2018) and Potkány et al (2021) emphasize that there is a fundamental difference between the development of FM in Western European and Central European countries. The high level of competition in complex economic systems encourages the development of both FM culture and the market.…”

Purpose Facility management (FM) is picking up steam in Turkey. However, delays in creating standards and adopting FM as a profession by corporate and public institutions led to an unusual predicament, unlike in Europe and the USA. The purpose of this study is to take an inductive and constructivist approach to explore the extent of maturity in the FM industry within Turkey. Design/methodology/approach Qualitative understanding of the complexity of the Turkish FM sector drives the design used in the study. All data has been collected through an in-depth interview and semi-structured questionnaire with FM stakeholders. Findings The findings revealed the perceptions of stakeholders working in various businesses and research institutions in Turkey, including FM organizations, supply markets and educational institutions, regarding the key challenges and opportunities in the business environment. Practical implications The trend on Turkish FM revealed a slow growth in FM professionalization, which needs the authority’s attention as the professionalization reduces the unemployment rate, reduces cost and enhances the life cycle of the physical property. Originality/value This is the first study, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, on Turkish FM that provides comprehensive studies on Turkish FM professionalization trends to draw the attention of policymakers to the need to enact policies that would improve FM professionalism.

“…FM focuses on health and productivity, integrated services and work environment in the UK (Li et al , 2019), facilities managers’ skilling and commitment towards a sustainability agenda in Australia (Elmualim et al , 2010; Kamarazaly et al , 2013), process quality viz-a-viz cost savings in Poland (Potkány et al , 2021), management of public facilities in Ghana (Macarayan et al , 2019) and technology integration in South Africa (Okoro and Musonda, 2019). According to Philbeck and Davis (2019), such technologies and systems as robotics, autonomous vehicles, artificial intelligence (AI), machine visions, augmented reality (AR) and advanced applications are being integrated into organisational processes and spaces, thus altering behaviours, relationships and meaning.…”

“…Two-thirds of the estimated loss in the capital facilities industry in the USA is due to operations and maintenance inefficiencies (Li et al , 2019). Effective FM is, therefore, critical to ensure cost savings and improved quality (Potkány et al , 2021).…”

Purpose Technological change drives transformation in most sectors of the economy. Industry 4.0 technologies have been applied at different stages of a building’s lifecycle. However, limited studies exist on their application in real estate facilities management (REFM). This study aims to assess the existing knowledge on the topic to suggest further research directions. Design/methodology/approach Scopus-indexed literature from 2013 to 2023 was examined and visualised using VOSviewer software to output quantitative (descriptive) results. Content analysis was used to complement the quantitative findings. Findings Findings indicated a concentration of research in China, Norway and Italy. The knowledge areas included three clusters: lifecycle integration and management, data curation and management and organisational and management capabilities. The benefits, challenges and support strategies were highlighted. Research limitations/implications More collaboration is needed across countries and territories on technology integration in REFM. Future research using alternative methodologies is recommended, with a focus on adopting and non-adopting REFM organisations. Further, implications for facility managers, employees, technology suppliers or vendors, training, organisations and management exist. Practical implications Further, implications for facility managers, employees, technology suppliers or vendors, training, organisations and management exist. Originality/value The study reveals the knowledge base on technology use in REFM. It adds to the evidence base on innovation and technology adoption in REFM.

“…In many studies, the creative personality is associated with such traits as independence, entrepreneurship, radicality, and openness to experience (Lubart et al, 2015;Martin et al, 2015;Potkany et al, 2021). Wang et al (2021) used a questionnaire survey to show that there is a relationship between an individual's creativity, self-confidence, and set goals.…”

In Industry 4.0 completely new production worlds are emerging, where robots are becoming a key element and where common human skill activities and thinking are commonly surpassed. The growing degree of automation and the interconnection of the digital and the real-world create an environment that requires a set of interdisciplinary skills. For the sustainability of enterprises in this environment, human creativity acquires an irreplaceable role. The aim is to compare the application of selected values in corporate culture, which creates a space for increasing the creativity of employees from the perspective of different sizes of enterprises. The research sample consists of 1,716 companies of the Czech and Slovakia that participated in the questionnaire survey. The results of the independent T-test confirmed significant differences in the applied values between the countries being compared. Differences in terms of business size have been further explored through the ANOVA test and the Tukey HSD test. The results subsequently confirmed that the values: work meaningfulness, passion for work, and trust are applied more significantly to microenterprises in both the countries, creating an environment that supports creativity.
