    Effects of Materialist Values and Work Centrality on Organizational Citizenship Behaviors
    (SAGE PUBLICATIONS INC, 2023-01-06) Tan, Başak Uçanok
    The current study investigates the effects of work centrality and materialistic values on organizational citizenship behaviors (OCBs). The importance of organizational citizenship behaviors has been well documented in the management literature. Although OCBs are hard to define, researchers emphasize that these behaviors are more or less discretionary, less likely to be formally linked with organizational rewards and contribute to the organization by promoting a positive social and psychological climate. Although the accumulation of research on OCBs and related constructs is vast, materialistic values as an antecedent have received scant attention. In the current study, materialistic values and work centrality are investigated as predictors of OCB, which have inverse effects on the construct. In a cross-sectional design, 439 employees from various companies in Turkey participated in an online survey. The findings support the claim that inverse effects from work centrality and materialistic values influenced OCB. Upon deconstructing the antecedents’ impact on the dimensions of OCB, the results revealed a positive predictive effect of work centrality on helping and civic virtue. In contrast, materialistic values exerted a negative influence only on helping behaviors. Implications and future research directions are discussed in line with the findings.

    Future Work Challenges: Exploring Factors Shaping Attitudes Toward Women Managers in Turkey
    (Emerald Publishing, 2025) Tan, Başak Uçanok
    Women have long struggled with negative stereotyping and domestic societal expectations regarding gender roles. Cognitive matching theories suggested that perceived alignment between job requirements and gender roles influenced evaluations of women in managerial positions. Values and beliefs around gender roles have been documented to impact individual attitudes toward women managers (ATWOM), often resulting in biases against them. The socialization processes coupled with religious beliefs have reinforced traditional gender roles and, in some instances, contributed to workplace resistance against women. In this study, the early findings of negative attitudes toward women in the workforce are questioned, and a snapshot of employee perceptions in prominent Turkish organizations is provided. In contemporary organizations, gender equality and egalitarian work practices are promoted. Thus, the ATWOM are expected not to portray the adverse scenario depicted above. The complex interplay among values, religious orientation, gender roles, and ATWOM provides insight into how gender equality is evolving in modern organizations and how we can create a work ecosystem that rids itself of restricted views. The preliminary findings suggest that ATWOM are not significantly correlated with expected traditional values, religious orientation, or gender roles. Instead, the findings indicate that these attitudes are related to years of work experience with women managers, tenure, and age. The chapter discusses these preliminary findings to pave the way for a discussion around how attitudes regarding women in contemporary work organizations evolve and how work design may alter these perceptions to create a more egalitarian and peaceful work environment. © 2025 Alessandra Lazazzara and V.
